I kinda wish they had unveiled all three at once. That would have been sensational.

It would be better if they present the statue sideways which mimics the original photo

if folks are underwhelmed with the proportions, remember you're going to be looking at it from below. that's why it looks like the top of his body is exaggerated and his face may look weird from straight ahead or above

81 game and Kobe picked it - Like Vanessa said, tough sh*t if you don't like it.
Sure some will complain because they like to complain - again, Kobe picked it.

The other two statues will obviously be amazing as well.

Kudos to all the folks that spoke. I found Kareem, Derek and Phil's especially moving. Phil's speech was really from the heart.

It's more of a celebration for folks that played with him, won with him. It's not a current roster event. Duh...

Most likely right. Never seen a statue in person. . Not being in LA sucks. Y'all are lucky living down there.

The timing of the when the other two Kobe statues that Vanessa Bryant referenced - him and Gianna and him in a No. 24 uniform - will be unveiled is still to be determined, according to the Lakers.

Kobe's getting 3 statues.

Number 8, Number 24, and Kobe with Gigi.


Also the Number 8 Statue is the one Kobe picked.

Sooooooooo......
