The Los Angeles Lakers have finally immortalized The Black Mamba outside the Crypto.com arena, sparking widespread praise on the internet for honoring Kobe Bryant. While the organization had various poses to consider, the selection of his iconic 81-point game seemed most fitting.
Surprisingly, someone foresaw this choice long ago—not just days, weeks, or months, but precisely 2913 days ago, equating to a remarkable eight years.
The tweet from one user @MJO23DAN, dating back to January 22, 2016, made this remarkable prediction. It read:
The more I see this image, the more I believe it'll be the statue.
One of Bryant’s most career-defining performances occurred during his 81-point game against the Toronto Raptors. In 2006, he established the record for the second-highest points scored by an individual in a single game.
Scoring 81 points in the modern era is undeniably impressive, and it’s a game that every fan of the 5-time champion will always cherish. Yet, remarkably, the fan foresaw the game’s monumental significance as a statue eight years ago.
Social media reacts to a fan’s accurate Kobe Bryant statue prediction
A fan had accurately predicted the statue pose that would be used by the Los Angeles Lakers to celebrate the greatness of the late Kobe Bryant. This very Nostradamus-like act has ignited a frenzy on the popular social media platform, X (formerly known as Twitter).
One user @CDKing10k, sarcastically tweeted:
You have the lotto numbers in mind??
Former NBA player, Gilbert Arena of Gil’s Arena was equally impressive as it showed in his tweet:
A couple of other fans’ reactions are as follows:
With the fan producing a god-like moment with his accurate prediction, it’s good to see how fans can get distracted away from the earlier criticism of the statue pose, which got a response from Vanessa Bryant, Kobe’s widow.
The fan’s spot-on prediction created a moment akin to divine foresight, effectively shifting attention away from earlier criticisms of the statue pose. Notably, Vanessa Bryant also offered her perspective on the matter.
