Donald Trump recently made waves by announcing plans for a series of “Great American” statues—including one for NBA legend Kobe Bryant. But what exactly is this project? Is it a political move, a legacy play, or a genuine tribute to cultural icons?

Kobe, an all-time basketball great, already has a statue at Crypto.com Arena, unveiled by the Lakers. But Trump’s mention of a new one raises eyebrows. Where will it be? Who’s funding it? And why now?

With names like George Washington, Amelia Earhart, and even Antonin Scalia on the list, Trump’s vision for this “National Garden of American Heroes” is both ambitious and controversial. Some praise the idea, others see it as a political stunt.

What do you think? Does Kobe’s legacy belong in this collection, or should this project be left in the past? Let’s talk.
