Kobe Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers may have bowed out in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs this season, but the Black Mamba scored a major victory off the court in the case involving his parents attempting to sell his memorabilia(HERE).
According to Darren Rovell of ESPN, Kobe has reached a settlement with his parents, Joe and Pamela, as well as Goldin Auctions to prevent the sale of the vast majority of his memorabilia.
The settlement was reached one week before Bryant and Goldin Auctions were set to go to trial and Bryant's parents expressed regret over the entire situation.
'We regret our actions and statements related to the Kobe Bryant auction memorabilia, said Joe and Pamela Bryant in the statement, provided by a publicist. We apologize for any misunderstanding and unintended pain we have caused our son and appreciate the financial support he has provided over the years. We also apologize to Goldin Auctions for their inadvertent involvement in this matter and thank them for their assistance.'
Among the items reportedly up for bid are two of Kobe's high school uniforms and two 2000 Lakers championship rings that were gifted to Bryant's parents. Kobe's 2000 NBA All-Star ring is also up for auction, but half of the proceeds will go to charity.
Finalli.. Kobe let bygone be bygone, n muv on
