In the NBA draft of 1996, Pamela Bryant witnessed her son being selected by the Charlotte Hornets in the first round with the draft right of 13.
On May 15, 2065438+03, Godin Auction House in New Jersey was authorized by Kobe's mother Pamela Bryant to auction hundreds of souvenirs, including Kobe's jersey and the awards he won during his high school years in Raul Merion. In addition, these items include an all-star game signature ball and a championship ring specially made by the Lakers for Kobe Bryant's parents.
Kobe once said that she told her mother that she had no right to auction his belongings, but Pamela said in court testimony that Kobe allowed her to dispose of these old Kobe things at will.
The auction house announced that it would auction Kobe's first souvenir in June, but Kobe didn't want this to happen. It is reported that the two sides will go to court in New Jersey on Tuesday local time.
The cause of the incident was that Kobe's mother reached an agreement with the auction in June+10, 5438 and sold some souvenirs of Kobe, including a championship ring. Flash was shocked when he learned about it through the news and sent a lawyer's letter to the auction house. Because his parents asked him to buy him a house before, he was rejected. So Kobe sent Weibo that his parents were too greedy. "When you keep giving, giving and giving, and they keep asking, asking and asking, should you draw a bottom line?"
Kobe's mother Pamela and father Joe Bryant said in an interview in Camden, New Jersey today that their son lied to the media. Pamela said that Kobe and Vanessa made up something. In particular, Flash said that he made a phone call with his mother about souvenirs on May 2, and Kobe said that her mother agreed not to take his things privately.
Pamela said that was not the case. "We have never had such a dialogue, and I have never made such a promise." At the same time, Pamela said, "Kobe never asked for those souvenirs, and they never mishandled them without their son's permission."
Kobe's father Joe Bryant and Kobe's grandmother also supported Pamela's words. They proved that when the Lakers came to Philadelphia to play the 76ers in 2005, Kobe Bryant and Vanessa said they didn't need those souvenirs. "My son once said to my wife,' Mom, these things are all yours.' Kobe's father, Joe Bryant, said that he had told Kobe many times that he could get those souvenirs back and build a showroom in his home in California, but Kobe refused to do so.
But for now, Kobe and Vanessa don't think so. They insisted that they never promised to give these souvenirs to their mothers, and even demanded them back through legal channels. Before and after Mother's Day, the plot that Kobe turned against his mother and son became more and more fierce.
The end: The dust of Kobe Bryant's family lawsuit settled, and his parents agreed to apologize to Flash.
