Kobe Bryant Suing His Mom

[Anybodyhome]

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/kobe-bryant-involved-lawsuit-mom-over-planned-auction-194941552.html

 

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

Kobe bought his wifes mom a mansion in Beverly Hills. But his own mom gotta hawk his stuff to come up. They are obviously enstraged, but I told yall dude is a piece of work.

A 250k home in Vegas is uber nice, What kind of mother would sell her kids stuff so she could have a 6000 sq ft home instead of 3500?

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?

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...

Say no. That simple. Leachers gonna leach.

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.
