Kobe's first championship ring was auctioned off by his parents, and Vanessa was questioned for not supporting Kobe's parents

Recently, the parents of the late legendary star Kobe Bryant publicly auctioned their son Kobe Bryant's first championship ring with the Lakers, and the final auction price is estimated to be around $200,000, which has also caused heated discussions among fans.

As we all know, Kobe Bryant was born in a basketball family, his father Joe Bryant played in the NBA and European League, but he was just a normal rotation player, and his family life was not particularly wealthy, and many NBA stars had the embarrassment of bankruptcy after retirement, and Kobe's parents naturally couldn't live the standard of living they once had after retiring. In particular, the relationship between Kobe's parents and his son was not friendly, and Kobe's parents initially wanted to be their son's agent but were rejected by Kobe. And it was Vanessa who really caused a rift between their father and son.

The young Kobe Bryant was instantly attracted to Vanessa, but due to the family backgrounds of both parties, Kobe's parents were not optimistic about Vanessa and wanted to force Kobe to break up, but Kobe Bryant chose to use marriage to respond to his parents' opposition, so that when Kobe Bryant got married, his parents and relatives did not come to the scene, only some good friends and Lakers teammates from both sides came to the scene to congratulate. This also led to more and more tension between Kobe and his parents, and even went to court in 11 years, and Kobe's parents proposed that Kobe Bryant needed to give high alimony.

Despite the tension in the relationship, Bryant still covers a lot of his parents' daily expenses. Now, with Kobe's parents auctioning off their son's wrist gold ring, it has also attracted the attention of a wide range of fans, and General Arenas bluntly understands very well, after all, the old couple also need to live. At the same time, Vanessa was also pushed to the forefront of public opinion by fans, thinking that she was too picky for not supporting Kobe's parents, and dressed herself, her daughter and her relatives very exquisitely, but she was unwilling to give Kobe's parents a high amount of alimony. This may also be one of the reasons why Bryant's parents auctioned off their son's ring.

After all, Vanessa inherited all of Kobe's property, and her relationship with Kobe's parents is not very good, and the fans' doubts are also reasonable.
