Kobe Bryant's statue restoration completed to correct several errors
Restoration on the Kobe Bryant statue outside of Crypto.com Arena was completed on Tuesday morning just in time for the Los Angeles Lakers’ final regular season home game against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night. The 19-foot bronze statue, which was unveiled in February, needed several errors on the marble base corrected. The names of Jose Calderon and Von Wafer were initially misspelled on the replica box score from Bryant’s 81-point game against the Toronto Raptors.

Plus-minus leaders for the Hawks tonight are Clint Capela (-4) and Kobe Bufkin (-2) and that feels about right.
Other than those two and Hunter, the defense has been mostly unserious. – 10:57 PM

The planned location and the unveiling date for the other two statues — one of Bryant in his No. 24 uniform and the other with his daughter, Gianna, who also died in the 2020 helicopter crash — are still to be determined, according to a Lakers spokesperson. -via ESPN / April 9, 2024

Maxey joined an exclusive list of players to tally three 50-point games before turning 24 years old. Rick Barry did it seven times. James, Wilt Chamberlain and Luka Doncic each did it five times. Along with Maxey, the group of players who did it just three times are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Devin Booker and Jayson Tatum. Iconic high-level scorers like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, Allen Iverson and Kevin Durant couldn’t reach the half-century mark in three games as often as Maxey did before blowing out 24 candles. -via Clutch Points / April 9, 2024
