Kobe, mother fighting over clothes

[Islandman]

If that is the case I have to side with Kobe.

My view is that children should take care of their parents and give them a life of comfort when it is possible (and vice versa of course), they do not have an obligation to bankroll them to live the life of the rich and famous.

Agree bout the trophy, but old clothes he has not seen in a decade???Nah man, ah di owl people own dat, especially since Kobe seems to be dissing them and dem seem licks-licky.

[Willi]

$450K is live of rich and famous though?

Fi a peaceful life, Kobe coulda buy the house in his name and mek dem live in it. Chump change to him.

[Bricktop]

$450K is the downpayment...he said he has been giving and giving and they keep wanting more and more...gots to draw the line somewhere...

[Islandman]

Well, if he has in fact given them a lot more than $450K already then I doubt there will be any peaceful life by giving them more now.

Kobe Bryant Reaches Agreement on Memorabilia Case, Receives Apology from Parents

I believe the parents came out of this looking quite bad. Auctioning off the NBA championship rings that he gave them? Is so things bad? My guess is one or both of them probably have a substance abuse habit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kobe Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers may have bowed out in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs this season, but the Black Mamba scored a major victory off the court in the case involving his parents attempting to sell his memorabilia.

According to Darren Rovell of ESPN, Kobe has reached a settlement with his parents, Joe and Pamela, as well as Goldin Auctions to prevent the sale of the vast majority of his memorabilia.


Less than 10 percent of the items that were initially intended for sale will ultimately be put up for auction, according to Rovell. The settlement was reached one week before Bryant and Goldin Auctions were set to go to trial, and Bryant's parents expressed regret over the entire situation.

We regret our actions and statements related to the Kobe Bryant auction memorabilia, said Joe and Pamela Bryant in the statement, provided by a publicist. We apologize for any misunderstanding and unintended pain we have caused our son and appreciate the financial support he has provided over the years. We also apologize to Goldin Auctions for their inadvertent involvement in this matter and thank them for their assistance.

Even though much of the memorabilia that was set to be auctioned has been pulled off the table, Bryant's parents and Goldin Auctions still figure to do quite well for themselves, as mentioned in the above report.

Among the items reportedly up for bid are two of Kobe's high school uniforms and two 2000 Lakers championship rings that were gifted to Bryant's parents. Kobe's 2000 NBA All-Star ring is also up for auction, but half of the proceeds will go to charity.

Now that Bryant has put this squabble behind him, he can focus on more important matters, such as rehabbing his torn Achilles' tendon. Kobe suffered the injury in the Lakers' third-to-last game of the regular season, so he has a long road back to full health
