Kobe's parents hate him, this has been known for a while, tbh..
Yep, you guessed it. Kobe is suing his own mother. Damn. Talk about a killer instinct:
LINKWEST BERLIN, N.J. -- A South Jersey sports-collectibles firm is at the center of a family fight between basketball star Kobe Bryant and his mother.
Goldin Auctions of West Berlin wants to sell more than 100 items from the Los Angeles Lakers' pro career and his days as a high school player in suburban Philadelphia. The keepsakes — including uniforms, rings and trophies — would be offered on consignment for Pamela Bryant, the athlete's mother.
But Kobe Bryant is trying to block the planned June auction, insisting he owns the memorabilia. The dispute moved to a federal court in Camden Thursday, when an attorney for the auction house requested a court order to allow the sale.
The filing noted Goldin Auctions already has paid a $450,000 advance to Pamela Bryant, who wanted to buy a new home in Nevada.
If a judge approves the sale, bidders could compete for shorts, jerseys, jackets and varsity letters that Bryant wore at Lower Merion High School in Ardmore, Pa. They could vie for NBA All-Star and Championship rings, a 1996 Gatorade National Player award and a 1992 Sonny Hill League Future Stars Champion Trophy.
The lineup also would include a team jersey from Bryant's childhood in Italy, which is described as "the earliest known Kobe Bryant game-worn jersey ever offered at auction." Bryant lived in Italy when his father, Joe, a former Philadelphia 76er, played professional basketball there.

Pamela Bryant contends the collectibles have been in her possession for at least 15 years, a court filing says. It adds she stored the items in West Berlin over the past five years at a cost of $1,500 per month.
According to the filing, Pamela Bryant "indicated her son gave these items to her, stating 'Here Mom, these are for you.' "
The athlete's attorney sees it differently.
"Mr. Bryant's personal property has ended up in the possession of someone who does not lawfully own it," asserted Mark Campbell of Loeb & Loeb in Los Angeles.
Goldin's attorney, Jeffrey Cohen of Cherry Hill, N.J., could not be reached.
I can't eventhis . SMH

Cue Kobe storming his mother's house with armed gunmen.

I can't even
there's no need to spin it...Kobe has been at odds with his mom in particular (not his dad but his mom) for awhile now....She never got over him growing up and then marrying Vanessa...Vanessa was the original source of all the hostility...same thing with MJ...if I recall correctly he and his mom didn't speak for awhile...he was close to his pops... now think MJ and his moms they're back on terms..
I have more to say about this later
He's either extremely bored or going crazy without ball in his life and be@ner wife screaming in his ears all day
his mom obviously got issues...why would any good mother want to auction his stuff unless she's trying to hurt him...maybe she wanted money for a business venture and he said no...It seems that if she worked on trying to be a good mom instead of trying to force her opinions and strong personality on him she might find that he would open up to her..I think the woman is mean...
Women, in general, are the downfall of men. This has been proven over the course of history.
Kobe Bryant should be the modern-day poster boy of this adage.
Aw Jeez...The story is real...Kobe is suing his own mother...
Koolaid...His mother wants a new house...30 mil a year & he cant buy Mom a new house...
In all honesty these pictures tell it all...he hugs his dad but only shakes his moms hand..and she never got up to hug him...If I'm not mistaken we were playing the Nugs at the time...Kobe's mom got issues with him for some reason...it's likely she wants to control him even at this age...Usher went through the same with his mom..
Exactly why she is unloading his !!!Koolaid...His mother wants a new house...30 mil a year & he cant buy Mom a new house...
Kobe's pops and him are okay even though Jelly Bean is far away, coaching for some bush league team in Asia.
Koolaid...His mother wants a new house...30 mil a year & he cant buy Mom a new house...
He already did..and he got his dad the LA Sparks head coaching gig...back in the day...I remember when Colorado happened...and his dad still upset with his decision to marry Vanessa with no pre-nup gave an interview where he said.."I may not be happy with my sons decisions but this is serious and I'm flying to Colorado to make sure my baby is ok." His dad called him his baby...but I don't think his mother showed at least not that I heard of...I think she has dominant personality issues just like he does and that's why they don't get along at all...
Or.....she knows Kobe's legacy took a massive hit with the most under-achieving team in NBA history & she's trying to sell high?
Vanessa, now his mom. Who's next to try to cash in one last time now that it looks like their gravy train is headed for the scrap yard?
Kobe's mom wasn't with him shooting in the gym.
I'd put a bid in on those crutches tbh.
His mom's not bad looking at all. Would def. bang
Wow, never thought I'd see that day where I agree with Kool. Sad that Bryant's mom would try to sell her own son's personal keepsakes, even if he offered them to her. I thought Kobe ended all the drama with his parents awhile ago?
Kobe knows how court works. I'm sure he'll be fine
Did a Google search & found this...Koolaid delivers...
