All this because Luka signed an extension?
“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,“

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.

So he was a grown ass man walking around a high school campus looking for p*ssy? Like I said greatest PR campaign ever.
Look at the first page full of denial and hypocrisy because it’s someone they like. The age gap can’t be defended because she wasn’t even 18. You nikkas are losers and shouldn’t be taken serious.
If a 20/21 year old man was lusting after your 16 year old daughter you wouldn’t be making excuses.

This comment isn't it and any follow up response you give won't change that.
You see it. Cats in here saying it's no big deal when we'd call it out in other threads and the poster who said it.This thread will be bushed before it reaches three pages.

ITS A FACT
NOBODY GAVE A FUCC BOUT A 17 YEAR OLD DATING A 20 YEAR OLD IN 1999
THATS SOME NEW SOCIAL MEDIA OUTRAGE SHIIT
It should have never been socially acceptable then and nothing you say will change my opinion about that.
So you're wasting your time. Just because y'all allowed certain things doesn't mean that the newer generations will nor should.

Everybody knew about this back then and it's partially the reason why Kobe had a bad relationship with his parents
It was a different time then obviously, I actually remember the narrative of her being a ho being way more concerning to ppl than the fact she was underage. which is kind of wild in retrospect
that being said, reading about a NBA vet dropping off a girl to her high school every morning is really cringe now
