Kobe Bryant Suing His Mom

[carpanfan96]

He's asked them for the stuff multiple times over the years and they refused to give it to him and his wife. His mom get's millions of dollars from him and they don't have anything to do with him, so in this case Kobe is all in the right. No other way to look at it.  

 

If my parents didn't want to have anything to do with me, I wouldn't give them a dime much less millions like Kobe has done for his parents.

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?

 

Very good post. You're wasting your time, however, because some of these kids hate Kobe Bryant so much that everything that he does is bad, and he is just the worst human being in their eyes. At lest you got some much needed facts in here.

Let's call it like it is. If his mom is a leach, she's mama leach.

 

The argument of him not being anywhere without his parents is not a good one. His mom was not in the gym working on those jump shots. And the idea of him making X amount of money has nothing to do with the principle that his mom is selling his memorabilia.

 

Those are things that Kobe has had from about a decade ago. Imagine what Kobe's trophy room looks like. It could probably fill up my entire house. He had those things sitting in his mom's house and asked her to hold on to it and when he asked for it she wouldn't return it.

 

As far as spending money on the wife, don't we all spend more money on our wives than our mothers? Besides, it is known that Kobe already has given her million(S) of dollars throughout the years and she wants more.

 

The most important thing is that this is not about Kobe's relationship with his mother. This is about his mother selling Kobe's stuff that she had no right to do.

birthers are not always parents!!!!

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.

 

A mother and a leech can be the same thing sometimes. Sad but true, and especially true in professional sports, where many people come from poor and broken homes.

 

Giving birth doesn't make someone a good person.
