HAHAHAHAHA!
It cracks me up that both sides admit that it was this thing with Vanessa that got them fighting.
OMG ... what losers ....

I'm going to write two words here, and while they might disgust you, I'm going to ask you not to immediately crumple your newspaper and throw it across the room.
OK, here goes: Kobe Bryant.
There's almost nothing you can say these days as it relates to the Lakers without drawing a line in the stands between the Kobe lovers and the Kobe haters, and now here's more fodder to ponder.
Both Bryant and Karl Malone speaking through his agent, Dwight Manley confirmed Saturday night that they had a major falling out involving Bryant's wife, Vanessa, two weeks before the Bryant radio interview that had supposedly ticked off Malone so much.
Before Saturday night's game with the Clippers, Bryant listened as I relayed the story that's going around town, and when I finished, he said, that's true.
On Nov. 23, the night the Lakers played the Bucks at Staples Center, Vanessa was talking on the phone to Malone's wife, Kaye. Kaye gave Vanessa her husband's cellphone number, and Vanessa called Malone, who was sitting at courtside, and invited Malone's child to join her.
Malone, wearing cowboy boots and a hat, eventually took the child to Vanessa.
Malone hugged Vanessa, and then Vanessa asked as Manley recounts this part of the story "Hey, cowboy, what are you hunting?"
"She said it twice," Manley said, "and Karl answered the second time, 'I'm hunting for little Mexican girls.' "
After the game Vanessa told Bryant that Malone had come on to her, and said several inappropriate things. She also told Bryant that she had called Malone's wife and asked Kaye to get her husband away from her.
Bryant called Malone on his cellphone after the game, and Bryant laid into Malone. Bryant said Malone didn't have much to say in return and didn't deny anything.
What's a husband supposed to do when your wife tells you something like that? Bryant wanted to know as we talked.
Bryant said he was uncomfortable discussing the incident and he would have preferred to keep it quiet, but the New York Post reported this week that Malone was seen giving Vanessa a big hug, and then "somehow Malone managed to cross Vanessa" and got on her "frosty side."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AFTER I talked to Bryant, I relayed the same story to Manley and asked for the opportunity to talk to Malone and hear his version.
"Karl wants me to give you two messages," Manley said after calling Malone. "He never hit on Vanessa, nor would he . In fact, when he first heard about [the accusation], he said, 'You have to be kidding me.'
"As for the comments he made to her that offended her personally, he told both her and Kobe that night that he apologized."
Manley said that after Malone apologized, "Kobe followed that with a string of threats."
Bryant said he was upset but he said that he made no threats and was only coming to the defense of his wife, and that he told Malone to stay away from his wife.
Bryant said when he did the radio interview with XTRA (690/1150) he never mentioned anything about the simmering feud between the two because he didn't want to take personal shots at Malone.
Manley said Bryant called the Malone home the next day with more threats, and that Malone's wife listened in on a speaker phone.
Bryant said that both he and his wife called the Malones the next day in an attempt to work things out but failed.
The Bryants' second-day phone call and continuing accusations infuriated Malone and that led him to effectively end his relationship with the Lakers. The subsequent radio interview with XTRA allowed the rift between the two to go public without any mention of the soap opera until now.
HAHAHAHAHA!
It cracks me up that both sides admit that it was this thing with Vanessa that got them fighting.
I told all you freaks that we don't need Malone on this team. He's a Drama Queen with a hankering for underage women. He's the NBA's biggest choker of all-time. He's a part-time WWF wrestler. His main goal is to make as many halftime specials as possible to further his upcoming movie career.
I can't believe you, Spurs fans.
After this comment: 'I'm hunting for little Mexican girls.' I don't think he's coming to San Antonio.
So if I'm reading this article correctly, then Malone admits that he made the comments and there was an argument with Kobe afterward, but is saying that he wasn't picking up on Vanessa, right?
Damn, Yoko has got nothing on this .
Yeah and he thought Cheryl Ford's mom was 12 not 10.
Riiiiiiight.
Please don't let my wife read this article.
umm...all I can say is...wow. although she is pretty hot.
Part time wrestler in WCW, pretty bad diss of the WWE...
Apologize?
And that picture with Stockton is sad...
Karl Malone took Stockton's ring. Stockton was up to the task of leading the Jazz into taking down Jordan...Malone screwed him.
Terrible. I don't want anybody to air their dirty laundry and I certainly don't want to read about it. Bad decision to write this article, very bad.
Man WTF...Karl stfu. Kobe stfu.
This is pathetic!
Jeez this guy is a piece of rubbish. Could you imagine the drama he'd try and bring to little ol' San Antone?
in' biggot asshole MALone. Surely the Spurs have lost interest by now
Actually, "little Mexican girls" is probably the real reason the pedophile Malone would be interested in "playing" in SA.

It's hard to know for sure but it sounds like maybe a little jealousy ploy by Vanessa. Vanessa set up the scenario.
*cue* Melrose Place Theme song.
You could not write this drama for t.v. The myopia is strong in this one.
Wouldn't this have been a sign that you should have stopped reading if you didn't want to know about their personal lives?
I don't think Malone would bring any drama to San Antonio. Before he signed with the Lakers he never made the news in Utah for things off the court. Maybe when he was a free agent and wanted more money then the Jazz owner Larry Miller wanted to give him, but that's basically it.
I can't see why this such a bad thing. The way I look at it is Malone making a joke just as Vanessa did. What are you hunting? I take that as a joke from Vanessa, so Malone answered her joke by making fun of her. She made fun of his clothing and style so he made fun of her. To me his answer is funny.
I'm sure Malone has seen hundreds of Vanessa's over his career and I'm sure he's not trying to make a move on her.
This should be a movie the Lakers last year etc. What a waste of talent amid ego's deception and now a "Desesperado Housewife". I don't believe Kobe's wife side fully on this one at all.
I also don't believe Malone is retired fully one bit. The house they are supposedly building in New Orleans is probably one for a "future truck driver's ex wife and kids".
Now I am glad he is not going to SA period.

If Malone did end up with the Spurs what are the chances Kobe would live through a SA - LA series? Say what you want about Malone, he's not a guy you want to be on the court against if he's got a strong personal grudge against you.
Well I guess there are different ways to look at this....Vanessa is a very beautiful woman and while I am not one to move in on another mans turf...I have read, (maybe you guys have too) That Kobe has outside interests...
Heck....'I'm hunting for little Mexican girls too!' "
Of course, since its written its got to be true right?
Sounds to me like there is BS all the way around.
Vanessa AND Kobe are both wackos so who the knows.
Karl's what, 41? 42? Technically speaking from his perspective Kobe's 24 year old or whatever she is wife would be a "little Mexican girl" to him.
It sounds to me like she was trying to be seductive or funny, and Karl responded in kind. What's the big deal? Maybe Kobe is afraid Karl has more "game" than him.
Oh, and I would welcome Karl to the Spurs. He'd be a great enforcer, and as evidenced from the playoffs last year he's still up to playing great D (he took it to both TD and KG).
