How could the Lakers screw up a Kobe Bryant bobblehead this badly?

Published Mar. 2, 2016 10:28 a.m. ET

Rookie D'Angelo Russell scored a career-high 39 points to lead the Lakers to a win over the Nets on "Kobe Bryant Bobblehead Night," while Bryant sat out with a sore shoulder.

Fans received a bobblehead of a young Bryant holding up his No. 8 Lakers jersey after being traded from the Charlotte Hornets on draft day in 1996. 

It's an iconic and worthy Kobe moment to preserve ... but there's just one problem. The bobblehead doesn't look anything like Kobe Bryant. The eyebrows are nowhere near strong enough while the moustache is far too pronounced, and bobble Kobe's got too much hair. The jawline is all kinds of weird. This looks more like a young Barry Bonds than it does Kobe Bryant.
