“In late 1999 school officials banned 21 year old Bryant from coming near campus or attending any school events with the 16 year old Vanessa Laine,“

Excuses because it's a muthafuka you like

I’m simply speaking facts. Impossible for them to have ever had 5 years between them. I thought Kobe was dumb for marrying her back when he did. He met her on the set of an Eastsidaz video.

Late 1999 would be her senior year of high school and she was 17 going on 18.

YUP .. IN LATE 99 (AS THE ARTICLE STATES) SHE WOULDA BEEN 17 DURING HER SENIOR YEAR

BUT KOBE WHO WAS 20 WHEN SHE TURNED 17 WAS A "GROWN ASS MAN" IN COMPARISON



MEANWHILE, KARL MALONE LITERALLY IMPREGNATED A 13 YEAR OLD .. AND THIS GOOFBALL WANTS TO DRAW AN EQUIVALENCE ALL BECAUSE HE WANTS LEBRONS DICC IN HIS MOUTH

The both are not good, i didn’t have shyt in common with a 17 yo at 21, Kobe was lame (and that’s ok) he got that horchata and she had his nose wide open. Yes we seen nikkas do that back in the g but it doesn’t excuse it, in the end he got a wife and kids, but he clearly wasnt satisfied cuz he went out bad behind a terrible white girl in Colorado

21 and 16 raised a lot of eyebrows back then.

In today’s culture it would likely be a much bigger issue.

That said, they did manage to stay together for a very long time. I don’t know that it makes the age gap okay, but it at least suggests it was a real relationship and not deliberate exploitation.

This is the kind of story that really does not need to be rehashed in 2025.

It worked but that man was so pressed that he had to try and relive his bachelor life

Did you also know Savannah was a fresh 16 year old while LeBron was 18 is he a pedo too?

Being in high school with a gap is not the same stop it, and before you start I’m from Chicago so you know I’m not a stan

She was barely 18 it’s literally about the same age gap goofy. One is almost 3 years and Kobe is 3.5 years

 

[GilSho]

Weird but 20 going on 21 and 17 going on 18 isn't that bad.

 

[Sccit]

no one cared in this thread because we were all kids then anyway, but as an adult ya'll in here with the poms poms out not able to admit this was weird in retrospect is very concerning.


Kobe is a goat on the court, that doesn't mean you have to celebrate every facet of his existence.

A 3 YEAR GAP BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN IS NOT WEIRD

First off watch ya mouth when you talk to me, because i never approached you on disrespect, second you missed the key component high school, they both were high schoolers, Kobe was grown at 21, this man in La with money and some notoriety and the best he could do was a 17 yo mesican he saw on a video set, your hero was a lame

KINDA WORSE IN LEBRONS CASE IF U LOOKIN AT IT FROM A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE

LEBRON WAS FUCCING A MINOR AS AN ADULT FOR 2 FULL YEARS .. AND THAT MINOR HAD JUST TURNED 16



KOBE MET VANESSA WHEN SHE WAS 6 MONTHS AWAY FROM 18



FOR THE RECORD, I DONT THINK EITHER IS WRONG

BUT WE NOT BOUT TO SHIIT ON 1 WHILE EXCUSING THE OTHER

 

[Sccit]

A man and a woman yes. You saying 16/17 year olds are women my zionist friend

SHE WAS 17 WHEN KOBE WAS 20

SO 17 IS A LITTLE KID AND 20 IS A FULL GROWN MAN??

REALISTICALLY, BOTH KIDS .. DUMBASS THREAD EXPOSING U OVERSENSITIVE MALE FEMINISTS

nikka I say what I want and he was 20 not 21 lebron a lame too. A senior fukking a fresh 16 year is lame. Also 18 is a grown man legally so your point still don’t matter.

It's called perspective...20 and 17 is LIGHT. I'm not about to act outraged over it.
