There is nothing wrong with the pose especially Kobe picked it. I think it will look amazing from the sideways. That is one of the iconic photos in Kobe’s career. Maybe they could’ve presented at a different angle during broadcast |
I don't think I'd want to stare at Kobe's back at his statue reveal tbh :3

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. |
Kobe didn't pick that. That was just a sketch from 2019 when Lakers offered ideas. We know Kobe and he wants to look badass** |

EDIT - you know what scratch I'm getting rid of that post. This was a beautiful event I've been stoked on this unveiling event ever since it was announced I wanted this thread to stay positive so I'm keeping it positive as well

Huh, did you watch the ceremony and listen to Vanessa? She said Kobe picked it and touch sh*t if you don't like it. |

Nah just telling y'all what it is. Kobe was offered ideas and selected a few. His wife ultimately made the final decision. So when she says - **** **** that's her opinion. |

| Not a fan of this at all. It’s good to know there’s two more coming. Not sure how the design process of these works but if they could’ve all been done at the same time then this should’ve been the second one revealed. It’s not good enough to be first or last revealed. Great ceremony though. |

How do you know this???? You are making crap up. He picked this design, period. Not sure what you are trying to achieve here with your comment. Unless you are Vanessa herself, you don't know sh*t about how it was picked. |

Let's just leave this as a message for people that want to complain and leave it at that.

Again, Kobe was offered ideas and selected a few. Vanessa made the ultimate decision last year.
I guess I don't know (bleep) though |
