Kobe Bryant's love story with Vanessa is probably the most moving in the NBA! Kobe Bryant met Vanessa, 17, when he was 21 years old, and the two fell in love and formed a happy family until Kobe Bryant's unfortunate death around January last year. During this period, Of course, Kobe Bryant also did wrong things, such as the famous Eagle County incident, but then Kobe Bryant tried his best to save the relationship, doubled his compensation for Vanessa, and gradually became a model of good men in the NBA.
If it wasn't for that accident, maybe Bryant is now sitting at the Staples Center with Gianna to watch the Lakers game?
There is also a very romantic story about Kobe Bryant's encounter with Vanessa! In 1999, 21-year-old Bryant was preparing a solo rap album when he met Vanessa, a 17-year-old senior in the studio, who came here as a part-time model to shoot music videos for his rappers. It is said that the moment they saw each other in the hallway of the recording studio, the two stopped at the same time. Just 6 months later, the two were engaged, and the wedding was completed in April 2001, but Kobe's family all opposed this family affair, and on the wedding day, Kobe Bryant only came to 3 people, namely Kobe Himself, two bodyguards, his parents, sister, teammates, friends, all did not come to the wedding!
Isn't it a bit of a feeling of being against the whole world? At least from this story we can see Kobe's determination to treat Vanessa! Few people know that in fact, before meeting Vanessa, Bryant also had a very close relationship with another popular female star, and the outside world once thought that the two were in love, and the popular female star was called Brandy Norwood.
Born in 1979, Brand formed a band as a teenager, released his first single at the age of 15, starred in a Movie at the age of 16, starred in the Disney film Cinderella at the age of 18, and later won the Best Female Musician award in Global Rap Music, as well as the National Music Award, the Soul Train Music Award, the MTV Music Award, and the Billboard Music Award. Kobe Bryant met Brandi the year he graduated from high school, and the latter was already a top female star in the United States!
In high school, Kobe Bryant decided to participate in the NBA draft directly after graduation, which is also a well-known basketball player, before the 1996 high school prom, Kobe Bryant saw Brandi on the cover of the magazine and decided to invite her to his graduation prom. The two didn't know each other before, but brandy actually agreed to Kobe's request and became Kobe's dance partner. I have to say that in the pursuit of girls, Lao Ke still has something!
Soon after, the two appeared together on various occasions, and after Kobe Bryant entered the NBA, the two maintained a relationship, and Brand would also wear Kobe's No. 8 jersey. But the relationship lasted only a few years, and then they parted ways, and Bryant finally met Vanessa.
So the question is: Why did the teenager Kobe Bryant 22 years ago give up the A-list female star Brand and choose the obscure Vanessa?
In fact, the answer is very simple, that is, Vanessa is too beautiful! If it were you, you might make a similar choice, right? The love in the eyes of young people is not so complicated, what social status, fame, wealth, all are not important, what they pursue is often love itself, and this "love itself" is often from love at first sight. Love at first sight, most of the "bells" are actually the face.
Bryant, 17, chose to invite Brandy to his own prom, somewhat satisfying vanity, and like many high school students, Bryant wanted to make a splash in front of his peers. Later, when he entered the NBA, Kobe Bryant slowly came into contact with society, and he himself was already in the limelight, and even these things would bring him infinite trouble. When I met Vanessa 22 years ago, Kobe Bryant was already an NBA All-Star, and if a man had the wealth and status of Kobe Bryant at the age of 21, he often would not consider too many practical factors when choosing a partner, as long as he liked it, he would pursue it, and as long as the two fell in love, they could get married.
This is the story of Bryant who gave up playing "Cinderella" and chose the real "Cinderella" Vanessa story.
Ask yourself, if it is me, the first reaction is to choose the female star Brandy, but really put yourself into Kobe's persona, with Kobe's wealth and status, may still choose vanessa, who looks more outstanding. Dear fans, how do you choose if it is changed to one?
