You what they say, more money, more problems, even sometimes with your own family.
Theballerlife.com has learned that NBA superstar Kobe Bryant is reportedly locked in a legal court battle with his mother, Pamela Bryant, to prevent her from auctioning off cherished basketball memorabilia … his old jerseys, varsity letters from high school, championship rings, trophies and much more.
So why would Kobe’s own mother want to auction off his personal keepsakes without his consent?
TMZ reports:
Pamela has taken all the stuff to an auction house, claiming he gave it all to her, and she got a $450,000 advance which she says she’s using to buy a house in Nevada. Kobe contacted the auction house and said they had no right to sell any of the items because they belong to him.
Sources connected with the Bryant family tell TMZ … the dispute between mother and son erupted over real estate. We’re told Kobe offered to buy his parents a “nice house” in Vegas for significantly less than a million bucks, but they wanted something bigger and more extravagant and Kobe drew a line in the sand and refused to up the ante.
Our sources say Pamela was infuriated and believed Kobe was shortchanging them, especially compared to what he does for Vanessa’s mom, Sofia Laine. Kobe put Sofia up in a $3.2 million house in Newport Beach, CA, which sold recently. After the sale, Kobe moved Sofia to another multi-million dollar mansion nearby.
From Kobe’s perspective, our sources say he’s really upset because he believes he’s stepped up for years, by giving his parents millions of dollars and buying them homes and cars.
This feud has been brewing for years … dating back to when Kobe’s parents went ballistic when he married Vanessa without a prenup.
In response to this story, Kobe tweeted on Saturday morning, saying, “When u give Give GIVE and they take Take TAKE at wat point do u draw a line in the sand?
