Where were Kobe's parents?

[ScoopNScore]

Sure she was wrong for doing what she did, but there is no excuse for a child to behave any other way than respectful with his/her mother. We can disagree.

I wish what you said was true, but there some real scumbag parents out there who couldn't give a shyt about their kids. You get out what you put in, and if a parent did nothing to contribute to everything positive in your life or did irreperable harm, then there's no reason to respect them

Nah, you can def see him in his older sisters.

And he definitely resembles his dad

never knew his Pops got such strong genes, you know he gave young Bean quite a few looks back in the day.

Probably because they still haven't accepted a Mexicana in the family.

And they say we're the racists

As a black person the more options/money you have the less you'll stick with black. No need to write essays on it.

Please stop this narrative.

Overwhelming majority of people marry their own kind. Even nikkaz. And that includes nikkaz with money as well. That insecurity is such bullshyt with our people. The exceptions you see paraded on TV are not the rule.

I hope Kobe takes Shaq and them up on that TNT shyt
cause the more I think about it, Kobe could end up gettin on some Dexter shyt in this retirement stage

start finding old bumb ass NBA players missing and shyt

His mom is married to a professional athlete and Kobe was taking care of her for years, she has known nothing but easy street for the last 40 years at least! His mom on some petty shyt, everyone has already admitted that Kobe has given them millions in the form of homes, cars, and money but for his mom it still isnt enough. What kinda parent looks to run their kids pockets based on what they did for someone else.......after they are already well taken care of?

You must have a fukked up relationship with your mom.

There's no way in hell I'm ever buying more for my wife's mom than for my mom.

Take that dumb shyt somewhere else.

And players didn't get paid shyt back then. Jordan was only making like $3 million for most of his career. What you think Jelly Bean Bryant made? They were probably upper middle class. Not rich enough to afford a mansion in Beverly Hills. So your actual mom can't enjoy that Beverly Hills life but, your wife's mom can

 

[pete clemenza]

he had homies but kobe said it himself. he was a shaky to bad friend due to his obsession with basketball and being great and winning. he kept it 1000 with that. this is what you give up if you want to be a legend. you give up family, friends, etc. not just any legend. like A top 5 all time legend.

but you keep saying no blood relatives. blood has nothing to do with anything. who's cool with you is all that counts. there's people with fam that are blood but treat them like crap. kobe had his two daughters (blood) there. kobe has his wife of how many years? right by his side. vanessa and him been together so long they are best friends at this point. there is no one taking her spot unless they call it quits. that is his REAL Family.

Not every legend has done this. This is the Kobe mantra, not the general 'legend mantra'

I thought his mom would've sneaked into the locker room to try and clean out his locker while he was throwing up 60.

I said "more" likely too or less likely to stick with dating only black....never said most blacks marry others.

His mom was already given millions, cars, and homes. It's not that she didn't get a house, it's that the mother in law got one so she decides she needs another even bigger house. You gotta put your foot down with that sort of nonsense. What kinda mother sells their sons memorabilia because the homes he won't buy her extra homes on demand.

 

[hood b. goode]

Black women, money, greed, interracial marraige

Starting to read like a Locker Room thread

 

[Rarebird77]

This pretty much sums up their "beef"









It's a damn shame. Hopefully they all can patch it up someday.

Sounds like Vanessa is the mastermind.

 

[J-Fire]

I've legit never once seen his mom. I think I have seen his sister once, and remember seeing his dad at a game years back. Weird situation

jelly bean was (couple years ago)...and maybe still is a WNBA coach. Jelly had/has solid money coming in the household!!! kobe ain't gotta go over-board.

 

[rapbeats]

That's why I said it is what is......

And being raised in America is only a small part of it. You mentioning that LeBron lucky he didn't go to college so that kept him "grounded" to sistas proves my point....plenty of nikkas from the hood make it big and get with non black women. Being raised in America or in the hood doesn't make you only attracted to black women.

As a black person the more options/money you have the less you'll stick with black. No need to write essays on it.

being raised in the hood in american around your own people is a simple math formula of probability. ODDS ARE you will end up with someone that looks like you. because all you know is all you know. unless you hate what you know. you will find love in what you know. its that simple. some people hate themselves or their situation so they look outwards begging for something different(whiter, less black, etc.)


but not most.

truth is a lot of the old school athletes that ran up on the white ladies did so because of being brainwashed all of our lives by slavery, the media(white media) putting their women on top. in addition when these dudes went to college, most of your greats went to large schools or at least half of them did. those schools were mostly white. with mostly white girls. and the cheerleaders were darn near if not all white too. so you come on the recruiting trip and the white coach/asst hits you with the look like go ahead take your pick. you see a bunch of pretty white girls that you never had access to + your brainwashing. = its a wrap. now a lot of dudes understand thats just for college while i'm stuck in white ville. dont get to serious with these ladies now. and they end up going back to a sista(magic did it). but thats also cause magic was at state school not the wolverines where there were probably a lot less blacks there. jordan obviously fell in love with them by being around them so much in business. and being so big. once you get to that status its very difficult for those old head dudes to be around sistas. where are they going to be? back in those days it was all white ladies for the most part doing the interviews. or white men. most of the cheerleaders were white. most of the workers that were women around the Front office was white. you go on big money golf tournaments for charity with a bunch of white people and the only women around are white women. you go to the fancy spots cause you're a super balla. guess who aint there? black people aside from a handful of ballas. that means more white women less sistas.

so in reality you end up with people you are in close proximity to, black white, grey. doesnt matter. you can talk all that black power, group economics ya want to. mess around and get a job where you're stuck in alaska some where and its just you and a handful of co-workers working there. and one chick is kinda cute and she's white. there are not sistas around. you will mess around and end up with a white wife and some halfy kids. it is what it is. in that scenario. cant even fault a bruh for that. these younger gens dont have that excuse. because women period earn more now, meaning they can be at those places more often. they have did alittle diversity with the front offices as well as the people doing the interviews,etc. so you will again see some sistas. sistas make more money now too. so again you have a better chance of running into a black chick thats a lawyer at the same fancy eatery you're at. then you did back in 1982 or 1971.

you saw his mom. mom was cute and looked young as hell. couldnt tell who was the sister back in the day when he was kid kobe. they all came to the games to support him. that was the beauty of it. they came in as the bryant family. then kobe started to grow up and found himself a latina chick he wanted to marry when he was still super young. and thangs aint been the same since to be honest with you.

 

[Originalman]

They still don't like his Mexican boo

Yep it been like that for years. Then you have the whole rumor about the reason why Kobe married her.
