- Statue has formatting and spelling errors
- NBA Hall of Famer was killed in 2020 helicopter crash
The Los Angeles Lakers say they are correcting several errors on a statue dedicated to their late star, Kobe Bryant.
A tweet by a German journalist went viral on Monday after it highlighted mistakes on the statue, including misspellings of the names of Jose Calderon and Von Wafer in a section on Bryant’s 81-point game against the Toronto Raptors. Calderon’s name is given as “Calderson” on the statue, while Von Wafer becomes “Vom Wafer”. There is also a formatting error among the Hall of Famer’s career accomplishments and a reference to a coaching “decicion”.
