Not only did Kobe's parents object, but even Lakers coach Phil Jackson and others advised Kobe not to marry Vanessa. But paranoia is Kobe's character. He felt that he and Vanessa really loved each other, so he held a secret wedding. Only 12 people were present on the wedding day, and none of Kobe's family came. It was from this time that the relationship between Kobe and his parents dropped to freezing point.
At 200 1, Kobe helped the Lakers win the championship, which was his second championship in his career. It should have been fun, but unlike winning the championship in previous years, his parents didn't come to congratulate him this time, watching his teammates share their joy with their families and celebrate crazily. Kobe was very depressed. He sat silently in the bathroom with the championship trophy. From then on, he decided to stop expecting anything from his parents and put Vanni.
Later, Kobe experienced a trough and a glorious moment, during which Vanessa never gave up and gave birth to several daughters for Kobe. These Kobe's parents saw it and gradually recognized this daughter-in-law. The two sides began to have contact again, and the relationship gradually eased. Kobe also helped their parents a lot financially. However, on 20 13, the two sides went to court. What happened?
The cause of the incident is that Kobe's mother Pamela wants to change a better house to live in. As the mother of a star, she also wants to live a glamorous life, but she doesn't have enough money at hand, so she has a crooked brain-auctioning Kobe's things, including Kobe's two championship rings for the couple, Kobe's school uniforms in various periods, knitted sweaters, jackets printed with NBA words, middle school champions, letters from Kobe and the club, etc.
Kobe's mother Pamela quickly got a $450,000 deposit from Golding's auction house and bought a new house. Kobe was very angry when he learned about his mother's behavior. He told her to stop the auction immediately, but the latter insisted on auctioning all Kobe's commemorative items, and Kobe had no choice but to take her to court.
In court, both sides hold their own words. Kobe claimed that his mother didn't own these things. Some were given to his parents as souvenirs, and some were stolen directly from his home. Parents only have two replica championship rings, because they are made for their parents and belong to them. These two rings can be auctioned, and the others he wants to leave as souvenirs for his children.
Kobe's mother said that Kobe told her a few years ago that she could take these souvenirs because he didn't want to keep them any more. So, Pamela asked to continue the auction procedure. The auction house also believes that Kobe did not provide strong evidence to prove that these souvenirs did not belong to his mother. The court suggested that both parties negotiate first and try to settle out of court. There is no need for a family to go to court.
Finally, Kobe reached an agreement with the auction house. The details of the agreement are not known to the outside world. Kobe agreed that the auction house would auction up to six more items to ensure that the auction house would not lose money, and the mother would not have to refund the deposit of $450,000, so that the newly bought house could continue to live. Later, Kobe's mother Pamela asked the auction house to send the remaining items to Kobe's home. She expressed her gratitude and apology to the auction house. At the same time, Pamela issued a statement saying that she was very remorseful and deeply sorry for Kobe Bryant, and the matter subsided.
There is a saying in China that "filial piety is the first virtue". From the perspective of filial piety, many people may say that Kobe is not kind, but don't persuade others to be generous without losing money. What would you do if you met your parents who kept asking for it from you? Kobe once said on social media, "When you keep giving, giving, giving, and they keep asking, asking, asking, it's futile at any time." This shows how helpless he is.
"One person gets the word, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven", NBA stars may face the demands of dozens of family members. Iverson is too generous to the people around him to refuse other people's demands. Kobe has given great financial support to his parents before, but people's desires are like a bottomless pit that can never be filled. When Pamela auctioned Kobe's most precious things, Kobe's anger was understandable.
In our country, there are also many stars who are badly scolded by their parents. Ou Di, Nicky Wu and Ada Choi are all stars who pay off their father's debts. Angela Zhang was even taken away from his property by his mother ... It is said that tiger poison doesn't eat children, but some people simply don't deserve to be parents.
