Who created the Kobe statue?

The statue of Kobe Bryant unveiled Thursday at Crypto.com Arena represents one of the most iconic moments from a career filled with plenty of them. The bronze statue sculpted by Julie Rotblatt Amrany stands 19 feet high and weighs 4,000 pounds.

Following speeches from the likes of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Derek Fisher, Phil Jackson, Jeanie Buss and Vanessa Bryant, purple and gold confetti rained down from the ceiling as the curtains were removed from in front of the brand-new Bryant statue.

The statue unveiled on Thursday captured the moment of Kobe pointing to the sky after he scored a career-high 81 points against the Toronto Raptors back in 2006—one of the most memorable moments of his NBA career, and a feat no player has eclipsed since.
