So, basically, Kobe left all this poo he's won over the years at his childhood home. Mom wants to move to Las Vegas and Kobe refused to front her $450k for said home, offering $250k instead.

 

Kobe Bryant's mother then finds an auction house to front her the $450k in exchange for an estimated $1.5M worth of swag.

 

See what happens when you don't clean up your room?

 

BTW, this is Kobe's contract for the next couple years (Rotoworld):

2012-13: $27,849,149.
2013-14: $30,453,805.
2014-15: UFA

Apple falls not far from the tree....

 

...didn't Kobe buy his wife, Vanessa, a $4M, 8-carat diamond just 3 days after Colorado prosecutors filed rape charges against him in the Colorado "let's bang the hired help" hotel visit?

 

He set the precedent for paying people off, why can't his Mom get some of that action?

Lol Kobe has already bought his mother two houses ... how many ***** houses does she need?

Sources close to Kobe Bryant tell me he was blindsided by the news of his parents planning to sell his high school memorabilia.

According to sources, Kobe has given his parents "millions of dollars in financial assistance" throughout his 17-year NBA career

I mean, if I am Kobe I would probably just give her the money, but I'm pretty sure that the 450k is only for the down payment (from what I understand), and he offered her 250k. He's already given her millions and has bought her multiple houses, all while his parents refused to have anything to do with him for years after he married his wife. Of course, we all laugh at Allen Iverson for being broke now after making over 200 million for his career...

I don't like Kobe but I don't see how anyone can criticize him in this situation. In this world parents chose children, children don't choose parents. No child owes his parents anything, and certainly not 450,000 dollar homes.

 

She should go learn a trade and buy her own stuff. Just because someone your related to is rich doesn't mean you're entitled to their money.

"No child owes his parents anything..."

 

Really? It's that general pervasive attitude that's created one of the worst society's in the world for taking care of our elderly.

 

Now, I couldn't care less about Kobe or his mother and this instance simply shows the opposite extreme, but we do owe it to ourselves as well as our parents and other people's parent who don't have the financial wherewithal to take care of themselves to provide something better.

Let's be fact based.

 

- Kobe is not suing his mother. Kobe started legal action against the auction house to stop the sale of his items. 

- Through the years, Kobe has bought his mother million dollar mansions on top of other money he has given her.- 

- Mama Bryant asks Kobe for money for a down payment on a new home. Kobe offers her $250,000. She declines because it wasn't enough.

- It is a down payment for a home that would be in the 2.5 - 4 million dollar range in Las Vegas where the median price is $148,000.

- Mama Bryant gets an advance for $450,000 and the items are now in the hands of the auction home

- Kobe has no idea that his mother was going to sell his memorabilia. 

- Mama Bryant admits that she did not have permission to sell the items.

- What Kobe spends on his wife for her birthday has nothing to do with the situation.

 

With those facts, how can Kobe be in the wrong unless you otherwise are just a hater?

Because this is not some "leach" this is his damn mom. The woman who birthed him, changed his diapers, and fed him for 17 years. Without her or his dad (who is estranged from) there would be no Kobe Bryant. Kobe had a 30 million dollar contract this year, he probably made over 400,000 a game. Thats nothing to him. He should've just given her the money and been done with it. Dude has spent more on his side women/mistresses or paying off things for his wife's family (homes, businesses, etc), but it says a lot about his character that he doesnt do that for his own family. And if his stuff was so important why wasnt it at his home? Most athletes keep all their stuff on them in a trophy room, this was stuff that Kobe had left years ago.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
