Kobe Bryant’s Parents Attempt To Sell 2000 Championship Ring
Joe and Pamela Bryant have been catching a lot of grief from the internet recently. I would usually keep myself out of any internet drama, but I think the keyboard warriors have a leg to stand on for this debate. We are talking about one of the greatest NBA players of all time and one of his most prized possessions. Kobe Bryant‘s parents are getting roasted by the internet for attempting to sell one of his championship rings.
Kobe Bryant’s Parents Put Championship Ring On The Auction Block
Back in 2000, Kobe Bryant defeated the Indiana Pacers to win his first of 5 championships in his storied career. When he received his championship ring he decided to gift it to his father, Joe. Now call me crazy, but if someone gives something to me as a gift I don’t ever think about selling it. The Bryant family thinks differently. Now the ring is sitting on an auction site, Goldin, at $94,000 and fans are FURIOUS. This isn’t the first time they’ve tried to do this either!
The Bryant Family Relationship
It’s no secret that Kobe and his parents didn’t have the best relationship. There were several attempts at reconciling, but the family rarely saw eye to eye. Especially when it came down to Kobe’s memorabilia. Kobe was so adamant that his memorabilia should not be sold, he tweeted about it back in 2013 when his parent attempted to sell the ring the first time.
“When u give Give GIVE and they take Take TAKE at what point do u draw a line in the sand?” Kobe Bryant tweeted according to the Los Angeles Times. He also added the hashtags “hurt beyond measure,” “gave me no warning,” and “love?”. The auction even made Kobe sue his parents because Kobe didn’t give his permission to sell any of the items in question and wasn’t notified about the auction.

1. Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics are really the strongest team in the NBA right now. They’re on a winning streak, which is nothing new for them. They have not one but a group of star players in Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Derrick White. It’s hard to see any team topping them.
