New Kobe Statue Error-Filled

Copy editing matters.

Last month, the Lakers unveiled a new Kobe Bryant statue outside Crypto.com Arena. The statue is filled with symbolism and nods to Kobe’s career (for example, he’s standing on a triangle, representing Phil Jackson and the triangle offense Kobe played at the peak of his career in). It includes the box score of his 81-point game.

It was also filled with typos. Jose Calderon’s name is spelled “Jose Calderson,” while Von Wafer’s name is spelled “Vom Wafer,” and the term DNP – Coach’s Decision is “DNP – Coach’s Decicion.”
