Vanessa Bryant slammed for not inviting Kobe's parents to his Hall of Fame ceremony

Neither do I.I don't think Kobe would have invited them either
When Bryant’s parents attempted to sell off some memorabilia associated with the athlete in 2013, Bryant sued them . . . and won. His parents ended up issuing a public apology that read in part, “We apologize for any misunderstanding and unintended pain we have caused our son and appreciate the financial support he has provided over the years.”
Kobe Bryant and a company that was auctioning off the memorabilia reached a deal one week before the two sides were due to go to trial in New Jersey. The agreement allows the sale of six items, which Goldin Auctions president Ken Goldin told ESPN.com on Monday morning he is confident still can sell for more than $500,000 combined.
Included in the auction will be two of Bryant's high school uniforms and two rings celebrating the 2000 Lakers championship team that were gifted at the time to Bryant's parents. The ring gifted to his father, Joe, Goldin Auctions notes, comes in the same size as the ring presented to Kobe (11½).
Damn that's some foul shit for trying to sell his items. They seemed to not have needed the money since Kobe was giving them money.Neither do I.

How much was he giving the Mexicans?
But we don’t know the full story. Shit, I don’t get along with my mother. She abandoned me when I was 9. I am 46 now. Does that make me a terrible son because I choose to keep my distance?
I tell people all the Time, I can’t tell folks how to feel.
She ain't even fucking with her own momma. You know she don't give a shit about his.
See, what folks don't realize is that Kobe done told her some shit and she is responding accordingly.

high school memorabilia >>> having a relationship with your parents, sisters, neices, nephews and Black family.
Kobe did what a lot of Black men on this website wish they could do, marry a white hispanic woman and cut off their Black family members while gaining mainstream white acceptance and living a wealthy lifestyle.
Kobe's fractured family relationship is on HIM not Vanessa. It was his responsibility as a man to get that right, not his bitch who cut her mama off as well. Kobe=coon, which is why he always been popular on this message board.

when he got to "Matt Barnes wife got mad at him for trying to be prettier than her, hogging all the mirror space tryin to put that activator in his hair"...
i fuckin lost it
If he gave the rings to his father as a gift they were his father's to sell.
loving parents who treat their kids well don’t get dropped by their kids when they grow up.
This
Exactly.
True. My Pops stepped up and raised me and I will care for him forever. Moms? Please.
His pops was right about that cunt.

So many one liners!!
I ain't mad if somebody make it its own thread!!
why would she have had to invite them ?
why didn't the NBA invite them.?
AFter all his father is a former NBA player

She should have invited them...
This is a good point.....BUT.... If she didn't want them there (which clearly she didn't) the NBA would not override her.
She should have invited them...
I guess but I am sure she didn't approve each atendee.
They could have just not seated them near her.
I also don't know what his relationship was with them or if she didn't want them or assumed they would get their own invites.
I am sure that like most things the tickets she got were limited to a few like graduations or sports games.
Its the event coordinator's job to make seating charts and guest lists and so on. Its not the wife's job.
Granted, she may have requested that they not be invited, but we don't know.
Its possible that she is just upholding Kobe's wishes and keeping them at a distance from his reputation and career.
Many relatives of famous people try to sway the attention over to themselves for sympathy donations when they weren't cool with that person when they were alive.

Offered to his parents?
Sounds like the money was cut off...
She wasn't paying for all the extra shit......
"I got you tickets the rest is on you"...
Kobe picked his wife, when he his parents tried to tell him years ago. Mexicans grifted 500+ million off Black excellence. Oh well, his Black parents should not have tried to sell his shit, though. Seems real petty to cut off your own mom.
Sad they never made up, but no way his wife will ever speak to them again, let alone pay for a HOF vacation package
She got the money, public sentiment and the grandkids. Took the Black excellence and made a clothing company with two white women
That's what Kobe wanted, and its seems Black folks respect it We like being disrespected by our so called heroes.
