Yet Another Reason to Dislike Kobe

the fruit doesnt fall away from the tree

Clearly it does. If you want an apple, you don't eat the tree.

Kobe is a fully independent adult.

Gotta say, I think I side with Kobe on this one.

Pretty sad when even your own parents become "hanger-ons".

You had me at Hello,  I hate all Lakers.

Dude has made over 100 million in his career and is set to make 30 million this upcoming season and he is suing his mother over memorabilia?! What a loser. Does it really come to this? Story has it that he offered to give her 250k for the stuff and she asked for 450k. She is clearly no angel either, however to go to court over just not giving your mom and extra 250k?! With all the bad publicity the guy has had over the past few years you'd think that he'd want to keep things quiet and just give her what she asked for. Clearly the stuff wasn't that important to him or else he'd have it with him all these years. It's not like he doesn't have room for it. I don't think my mom would have to ask if I was making that much bank. She definitely wouldn't get sued...

Eh, I have learned that you never judge family drama like that.  You have no idea what is really going on, and there are so many emotions involved that it is impossible to really see it clearly.

I guarantee this is not about money.

I hate Kobe for a lot of reasons but this isn't one of them. No big deal to me. Seems more like the mom is the problem and not Kobe.

Kobe has a point here. Those stuff would mean nothing had he not used them.

True statement, however I think you're missing the point. Suing your mom over chump change for him?! Dude is classless. Mom is too, no doubt.

I've seen, heard, and been told about family disputes so many times over estates and other small amounts of money.

Its not really about the money.

You are right it is about HATE

Nope, usually its about love.

Hate's much easier to deal with.

From what I've read, I'm siding with Kobe.

Just a sad case.

Regardless of how we feel about him as a Laker this thing here is a mess.

fine line between love, hate and all that wonderful stuff.

Messed up family. Waste of the court's time.
