Can’t believe the audacity of them to do this again when he expressed how hurt he was the first time around.

His parents are shitty people by nearly all accounts

Of course it is. They suck

They didn’t have the best relationship w Kobe.
In fact, I’m pretty sure the story behind him looking so sad after winning the chip that one year was bc he was upset his parents didn’t show up, which was bc they didn’t approve of his relationship with Vanessa…
So, this doesn’t surprise me, sadly.
Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but this is just stuff I remember reading about back in the day

That’s fucked up though if I was a billionaire I would pay a million bucks for it tbh

I hope Vanessa buys it back and publicly blasts them.

His parents fucking suck.

Why did he give them it

If I had fuck you money I’d buy and it give it back to Vanessa or one of his daughters. I mean she can buy it too I’m sure. Just a fucked up situation in which you would feel the need to sell this. Shit happens and I’m not in position to judge, but it feels wrong.
“Obviously proud of winning his very first NBA Championship, Kobe ordered an extra copy of the majestic ring he was issued to give to his father, Joe Bryant, as a special gift. This is not an executive version of the Championship ring, but the same EXACT ring given to Kobe Bryant and other Lakers players. “

They’re always selling his shit?

Yeah that caused a rift between him and his family in 2013. You’d think his parents would want to keep his most material prized possession as a remembrance.
That ring will definitely be worth multi millions, so I guess it’s worth it.

People in this sub are weird. An adult sold a piece of jewelry they didn’t want anymore

The fact that Kobe left behind nearly a billion dollars in assets and both sides of the family fight over money is ridiculous .. there is enough to go around but the parents are some greedy mfers.. the family dynamics are broken af

I hope Mrs. Bryant swoops it up.

Let his parents be. They aren’t wealthy, they have other children that maybe they want to leave a little something to, it is just a replica. Let them do as they please.

It’s for the best. Someone else will appreciate it more.

This is exactly why Kobe left everything when he died to only Vanessa and the kids.

[For those who don’t know, this is the second time they’ve tried to sell his ring.](https://www.si.com/nba/2013/06/10/kobe-bryant-auction-dispute-settlement-reached-pamela-bryant-apology)
its not the actual ring.
