Kobe Bryant is naked and wrestling a giant snake in this sculpture

This is art we can believe in.

If you’re an artist tasked with sculpting Kobe Bryant there are a few different things you could do. Sure you could immortalize a game-winning shot or iconic moment, perhaps you try and sculpt Kobe in a different light. Or, you can have him naked and wrestling with a giant black mamba, you know -- regular stuff.

A sculptor in Taiwan did just that. Yep, it’s a giant snake sinking its teeth into Kobe’s left Achilles, the one he injured in 2013. It features an angry Kobe face, basketball and snakes. What more do you want, really?
