    don’t quote me on this, but I think Robert Downey Jr was used as the model

  2. That look like a garden gnome, my God. Lets not ever zoom in again.

    To be fair I think Kobe’s face is hard to articulate

    2 statues of Kobe and neither look like him. There are literally hundreds of Murals all over LA of him, couldn’t they have found an artist who could make it look like him?

    Goodness. Every Kobe mural in LA fits in one of two categories.. looks exactly like Kobe or looks like some random black dude…

    This statue fits right in

    Chill statues are notoriously hard to get right regarding faces.

  7. Yeah ngl both statues of Kobe are egregiously bad. It doesn’t take a genius to see that’s not Kobe.

    They had one damn job smh … that look like someone from skid row 🤦🏾‍♂️

    Wait, why is he wearing an eagles beanie?

  10. noknownothing

    That’s George Clooney as Kobe in the biopic.

    You can’t tell me that’s not Ryan Gosling…

    They used Max Christy for reference and got this

    I dunno with the amount of money available you’d think they could nail this…

    Jesus neither of the statues look like him and are horrible. The sculptor is the darvin Ham of sculpting.

    Yo.. did they really keep the Eagles logo on the beanie? lol. Accuracy with the outfit, but…

    Why does Kobe look like a Portland hipster?

  17. wendyschickennugget

    Damn man, 2K had Kobe’s face scan data for years, go ask them to share for better 3D modeling.

    This is at Staples? I need to go check it out next week.

    How fucking hard is it to get his face right. The facial hair texture is like they modeled this after a white guy. wtf.

  20. Mambatime0824

    They concentrated on the details of the Eagles logo versus his face 🤔

    A thing of beauty is a joy forever 💜💛

    Why do they always get the most average sculpter or take the first proof they get
