Besides Bryant's figure, the statue also includes five championship titles placed around the figure.
The figure is placed on a triangle base, paying homage to head coach Phil Jackson's famous triangle offense.
Additionally, it has a QR code to watch Kobe's highlights, an inscription of all Bryant's accolades.
Mistakes on Kobe Bryant's statue
Additionally etched is the boxscore from his historic 81-point performance against the Toronto Raptors in 2006. That's the source of the mistakes.
Two players' names are specifically misspelled: Von Wafer's name is engraved as Vom Waver, while Jose Calderon's name is spelled Jose Calderson.
Furthermore, in one paragraph, the phrase DNP - Coach's Decision is worded incorrectly as DNP - Coach's Decicion.
The sculptor Julie Rotblatt-Amrany's monument has also drawn criticism for its proportions, with some fans pointing out that Kobe appears to have one longer arm than the other.
