Honor your mother and father your days will be longer

Money changes everything 💔

A man can have multiple woman, multiple children & multiple friends but you will only have one mother, honour thy mother.

How many people watched and listened to this and still do not get the big picture? It’s a damn shame people don’t comprehend this instead of just going off emotions

Family matters can be touchy, sensitive, and complex. I think it was a matter of respect which is priceless. For respect is a matter of the heart. Unfortunately , there were no winners in this situation. We can only hope that behind the opinions that their relationship was restored in private.

RIP Kobe if you see this comment fix it with your mom or dad if it wasn’t for them you wouldn’t be here people don’t understand it’s been friction before his mom sold the items his mom loved him

He died a very TRAGIC death..HE LEFT THIS WORLD HE LEFT EVERYTHING HE DIDN'T TAKE NONE OF IT ...he should've done right by his parents..GOD LOVES THAT..and you live longer..THATS THE WORD!! It's in the BIBLE

Kobe's mom is so beautiful ❤️

Whether or not I had a bad relationship with my mom. I wouldn't leave her brokes, If I had money.

Rest in Peace Kobe.

I believe Kobe and Vanessa are not as innocent as people think. And for her to not mention his parents at his memorial speaks volume of the person she is !!

He should respect his mom and dad

Doesn't matter!! Days are short! Take it up with the Real King!!!

Why is this google so important now Kobe is gone what ever happen cant change and no one will ever know. Not speaking to your parents is something i wouldnt of wanted to take to my grave. What is a Legend your acomplishment but who is truley the legend GOD. and the parents who truley was there and raised you.

It’s insane how much Gianna looks like her grandmother. Rip

Died having close to a $400M estate and had a family fall out over $400k and some sports Memorabilia

Cant treat your family wrong..they made you. That's what Kobe forgot

As “Pink Book Lessons” pointed out. There’s a lot left out surrounding the subject of his parents selling his memorabilia. Kobe’s mom asked him if he wanted the stuff and Kobe told his mom, “No, it’s yours mom...” According to Kobe, he had been taking care of them for most of his NBA career and them selling his stuff, highlighted their unappreciative attitude towards him. I don’t agree with him on that. They sacrificed their entire adult lives so that u can become one of the greatest athletes in the entire world. He bought his mother in law a house, Which is why I don’t understand why his parents had to sell his memorabilia to purchase a home. He probably bought them a house a longtime ago, I don’t know. His father was NBA player and played in Italy too, but that doesn’t mean his parents made sound decisions when concerning their finances. There’s a lot to unpack here without knowing all the details but my opinion is Vanessa should have insisted, his parents take front seat along with her at his memorial, just for the eyes of the world can witness, even if she didn’t want to do it. It wasn’t a good look. It’s perceived that his parents had very little to do with his success, which is hardly the case.

Honor your mother and father.

Your mother love 💖 is the best

His parents made a public statement apologizing to Kobe for selling his memorabilia without permission, they admitted that Kobe was Financially supporting them until they did all that shady shit. Imagine your accomplishments In trophies, Championship rings etc. you giving them to your parents as representing a “Thank you for getting me here.” For them to turn around instead and sell it all in an auction for $450,000+. That’s a slap in the damn face tellin your child none of it mattered to them but they would rather have had the money. So those who are saying he should have respected his parents and still had listened and done for them what they did for him. When is it ever ok for your parents to disrespect you? Never! He did what he felt in his heart he needed to do because of their own ungratefulness. And they reconciled after his retirement, so he did what he needed to do in order for them to understand as his parents your kids should always be respected even in their choices.

I'm Latina my mom always said when the son gets married usually forget their moms and get closed to their wives family . In Islam mother comes first second and third . Paradise is under our mothers feet . He forgot his mom, and he lost everything . Who carried him for 9 months , who gave him birth and feed him and took care for him ? His wife didn't raised him or feed him . Of course Vanessa was his love , but his mother knew him first . Now Vanessa is getting trouble with her mom . very sad

His mother was in the right.

Families have disputes and it's not unusual hope they patched things up life is short 🙏

What we have to look at is Kobe’s parents are the typical old school parents who wanted him to marry his race and they felt he wasn’t ready for that kind of commitment. Kobe’s father saw what Vanessa and especially her mother is about. Kobe cut off his parents and siblings yet bought Vanessa’s mother a million dollar home in their neighborhood, paid off all of her and her ex husband’s debts, bought her a new car every year. Why do you think she’s suing Vanessa saying Kobe promised take care of her financially for the rest of her life. As articulate as Kobe appeared to be, he left a mess. Keep believing that ESPN narrative that he fell out of the sky at 18 as an NBA Superstar and Vanessa made him what he was. Kudos to Shaq for showing love to the parents.

Correction! Kobe’s relationship with his parents changed when he started dating Vanessa. They thought he was to young and didn’t like her because she wasn’t black

So what did he took to the grave? Nothing he left his parent unhappy ☹️ and upset with him

He went alone leaving everything behind!

Kobe Bryant we are praying for your family we are from the House of God a servant of God 🙏 see you in Heaven💫

Just by looking at pictures of Kobe’s mom you can tell that she is an intense woman. Kobe even mentioned how she was super competitive. Obviously I don’t know her so I can’t state any of these things as facts. But there’s no doubt that mothers sometimes can be a daughter in laws worst nightmare. Your parents should be cordial to your partner, especially if your partner has not done anything wrong.

I don't thing that's reason to stop talking to your parents, specially parents that always stood there for you. mine wasn't there for me, my aunt took care of me until i become a teenager, but i forgive them, and i have a good relationship with my mom specially. yes i know it's upseting and dissapointing, but it's not something critical, where as much as you want, you cannot forgive? and look when this happened, 2013 three years before his retirement, when he was already a millonaire. today he's no longer with us and has two women fighting over his money.

Respect your mom's and dad so you can live a long life.

This man, kobe bean bryant was one of one. Thank you, Mamba. God bless us all

I'm sorry if Kobe and his parents didn't get to fix what ever went wrong in the past that caused a break down in their loving family relationship because the way he talked about them he had a loving relationship with them especially his mother never let anything or anyone come between you and your parents because you never know when your last day will be and may not be able to forgive and be forgiven I think Kobe parents have a heavy load on their hearts knowing they lost their only son way to soon and they didn't get to make things get back to the way they had been all his life may God heal and bless ❤ 🙏 your hearts and as for Kobe wife I pray 🙏 the same for you and your daughters but as a wife and mother you should have been the bridge that help close that gap his family became your family when you married but I can see what you learned from your mother she seems to not have motherly OR FAMILY LOVE THE WAY SHE'S BEEN TREATING YOU SINCE HER GRAND DAUGHTER AND SON AND LAW PASSED AWAY SHE SHOULD HAVE LEARNED FROM THAT WE NEVER KNOW WHEN WE MAY NEVER GET THAT LAST CHANCE TO SAY I'M SORRY AND I LOVE YOU 💘 YOU AND YOUR MOTHER NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT

When you do not honor your parents you desperate God. God said honor your Father and Mother or your day will be shortened. Do not put material things forward God or your PARENTS Amen. FORGIVE and Love one another as God is you. AMAN

I honestly wish everyone would see an interview with Kobe, talking and being grateful to his parents. In the interview he expressed how much they had done for him and his sisters. How he was raised in a stable loving home. Thanking both parents, (his words) "Especially my mom she worked very hard to give us a good upbringing." My mom is like me, competitive and will accept a challenge. I believe that when he realized he was going to die, he asked, "His parents for forgiveness." I would like to know if he has come to them in their dreams? I believe he is able to see things clearly, money has no value to him. I seriously don't believe he will leave his parents with a heavy burden of feeling guilty. Knowing now that he was wrong. If his parents or sisters ever decide to write a book about "The Great Kobe Bryant." I will definitely buy it, Kobe, had several positive attributes I will study and determine why the feud went on for yrs. What or who fanned the fire to keep it going?

Your days are cut short when you dishonor your parents.

So wrong cutting your parent because of selling your memorabilia. You went alone leaving everything behind

Deep down I think kobe was heart broken over his parents betrayal and never came to terms off working things out for the best, money is the root of evil, you can't take it with you when you're gone, like Jada Pinkett said never give relatives money nor buy them things they can't afford, especially if there trying to profit off of you

Can't let mama and daddy go hungry if they were there for me just because they don't like my wife smh no way

God, the Husband or Wife, then the parents.

How sad 😢

Damn y’all acting like y’all knew kobe and his family personally and saying the most fucked up shit. Smfh

Mama knew he married a Golddiger.

Poor his mom n dad there gonna have to live with the guilt of not making peace with koby family that is so sad n now his gone 😩😩😩😩

Children obey your parents.period

Just like he made a mistake his parents did too but i dont think they never stop loving him. To hold on to this till he died there was never peace and CLOSURE. Make peace with yiur love ones and people God is real. He forgave us by sending his only begotten son to die for all of our sins. Jesus said forgive them for thou they do not know. Dont hold bad feeling that comes back to you family have closure. Children become adult and they think they have to prove things to there parents and others. It never works out his parents sacrifice alot for him and he forgot all that. People dont have to like or agree with your but the facts are Respect..

Kobe did have anything growing up the parents paid for everything he have you abandon his parents because of money

Kobe bought a better, more expensive house for his in-laws. That's why his mom was pissed.

All parents are not the same. Those of you that have been blessed with good and wise parents need to stop judging how some children have had to deal with their parents that lacked wisdom and honor.

He spoiled Vanessa giving her so much power that in the end she didn't put his parents in his memorial service. That was very disrespectful now her mom is taking her to court for 5 million. Vanessa so damn evil she can give that 5 million to her mom it's not going to break her 600 million. Kobe parents haven't said a word. I think Kobe shortened his days acting that way towards his parents and his soul isn't at rest. I think Kobe is in hell looking up and he regrets NOT doing the right things periodt!

Honor your mother and your father And he did not do that

😢

Vanessa and her family made a huge mistake by not having Kobe parents speak at the funeral. His family didn’t want him to marry her because they were young. It wasn’t from ill intentions. Vanessa needs to reconcile all the issues with his family it will be better for everyone in the end. I understand they were married but always honor your parents life is short . Kobe mistake was not speaking with his parents. If he was alive I feel like he would’ve fixed everything. I don’t think his parents attended Kobe hall of fame Vanessa needs to reach out

Honor thy father and mother for long days! This may have been part of his demise

A man who doesn't speak to his mother won't leive long.... You days will be few

I don’t feel great love for my mother she was not loving towards me, I still looked after her, she is my mother. I found it my heart to look past her faults. I thanked her for not aborting or forsaken me during my toddlerhood. My tribulations alchemise me into a great man, most importantly of all, made me know God. I wouldn’t change anything.

Kobe secretly visited his parents a lot before he died thank God all the shaming was just for show

The bible says, honor thy mother and thy father in the Lord, and your days shall be long in the earth. Case closed. Don't hang out or marry someone that does not honor their mother and father.

Isn't it ironic how vanessa get the rid of her mother when kobe died, and vanessa mother was living a lavish life when kobe was alive but now claiming she is broke. Kobe loved his mother in law better than his own mother and father. He was too proud to just call them.

It's simple hounor your mother and father so you may live a long life. Didn't Solomon the wisest man taught us about the divine grace. Its Sad Kobe never lived by this rule... these rules are divine the Almighty God teaches all of us a lesson whether we like it or not. Gods words lives forever

He was mad at his mom for not going in and out of court with him but vanessa was not also she didn't fully support him in that he should of had the same energy for her

its not a secret, throughout the years Kobe has been known to be the team mate from hell, even talked down on Shaq, THAT TELLS US EVERYTHING we need to know about Kobe relations with his family. Clearly they sold his memorabilia because they didnt have money, meaning HE DIDNT TAKE CARE OF THEM. There should be a documentary about Kobe wife, thats all i gotta say.

HE WAS SO DISRESPECTFUL AND MEAN TO HIS PARENTS THAT WOMAN HATED HIS PARENTS!!

I hope he didn't sell his soul for money. A lot of the NBA have.

His parents were Wrong... they put money above Kobe. They will never be able to make it right ""greed and pride"" That's got to eat at their hearts everyday. Kobe died knowing that what ever he did no matter how much he gave his parent's were never satisfied. That broke is heart 😢😢😢

Selling his things...things that they helped him achieve? If there is anyone who can have anything that i own, it is my mother. " i was going to buy them a nice home".... why didnt they already have one given the money he had. Whatever story the media wants to put out there is a joke. We as Black people know the truth, and its not pretty. But go ahead

I know his spirit is crying i know when he die his spirit went and visit mom and dad brayant kobe i know your spirit is alive only the body gorne

Vanessa and her MOM is the cause of the fight now Vanessas mom is paying good

Money ain’t 💩 He should’ve gave his parents ANYTHING THEY ASK OR WANTED💯 I sure they made SACRIFICES FOR HIM. God said honor your mother and father or your days my be long💯 Kobe is gone, you can’t take money 💴 with you. Can’t enjoy the fruit of his labor. Just sad

This angle of his life really humanizes Kobe. Despite his half a billion fortune, his poor relationship with his parents, beef with Shaq, wanting to be traded, achilles injury, and then his tragic death with his daughter to go with the millions of people scrutinizing him shows how difficult he has had it. I would have hated living in his shoes despite the wealth he amassed.

It's in the Bible. Obey your parents

So sad he married a gold digger that all she care about is the lawsuit 😂😅.

Something about the whole story is not right. Where i believe vanessa is money hungry is when she encourage the public to donate money to the family of the other victims that died in the crash. Donate money to their friends, I believe she should have done that out of her own money as an act of friendship. But that is my opinion.

Really sad stuff.

It back fired you did your parents dirty bye

I’m sorry… THAT was the reason why he stopped talking to his mom? Ain’t no way? Petty is a damn understatement. Elvis would intentionally give his parents, friends, loved ones, strangers gifts of his personal belongings and tell them to sell if it they came on hard times because he understood the value of his items on the resale market and how much more value others could get out of it just for it being his belongings. Even if it was meaningful to him. I understand Kobe being upset about it, I understand him wanting his parents to tell him first et , but literally not talking to them anymore, then his wife carrying the beef forward from behind his grave and ensuring that she doesn’t help them out financially in their old age, and their literally trying to get by financially as seniors. Like wow. That’s crazy to me. I don’t want to judge, but I’m judging. I hope there’s something more to the situation. . .

Annoying how alot of people dont know anything and just assume Kobe was a selfish kid who abandoned his parents. They abandoned him for getting married, and he always took care of them but they always wanted more. So for all of the ignorant people out there just do some googles

I wonder his parents regret what they did.in other hand not talking his mom was not great idea we all do mistakes as humans. This hurt so bad.😢

Goodcomments

Yes he did👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾she NEVER stopped loving him and he NEVER stopped loving her🥰💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜 Vannessa's gold digger mom was the problem,she had her mind on Kobe's fortune since day one, she threatened Kobe to marry Vanessa when they were young,she said if he didn't marry her she the mom would say it was stachatory rape🤨the mother-in-law was a real "B" but real love last forever and Kobe and his mom have real love😘💛💜

How do you know. Did you live in his house?

WOWW. SAD. ALL. THE WAY AROUND. THEY STILL. HIS PARENTS. NO MATTER WHAT. ITS HARD TO BELIEVE. THAT HE TOLD THEM. HE WOULD BUY THEM A HOUSE. BUT THEY STILL. SOLD HIS STUFF. TO BUY A. HOUSE. IT'S NOT. MAKING. SENSE. THAT WOULD HAVE MADE THEM. KEEP THE STUFF. FOR AWHILE. UNTILL THEY WERE. NEEDY AGAIN. THIS IS JUST SO SAD. I WISH. THEY COULD HAVE. MADE UP. THEY. JUST. BEING DRAGGED. ALL THE WAY AROUND. AND IT'S. JUST. NOT RIGHT.

Rest babby boy job well done. Your and the arm's of the lord. Rest Kobe.

GARY COLEMAN from (Different Strokes) also disowned his Parents

That is sad

So terrible there really reaping what they did I'm not judging I'm praying hard for Kobes family in freinds also all his Loved one's praying for comfort in strength for all his Loved one's God Bless you ALL praying always🕊➕➕➕👏💔🏀📿

Vanessa is Not as beautiful as his MOTHER hmmm

Kobe's Parents We're Wrong. Anyone Who Truly Followed Him Knows This.

Sad

& Y’all gonna tell me his wife got none to do w this)

His mom saw him as an ATM. Case closed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Shut up! His parents are good foundation not his talents his up bringing and he forgot to honor that. PARENTS

I don't blame him at all they shouldn't get a damn thing

He would have lived longer if he had honored his parents

Gianna looks just like her grandma. I Pray 🙏🏽 for their family. He was such a good dad & husband

All that materialism meant nothing at the end that's for sure. To turn your back on those that inspired you to fulfil your dreams is a crime.

Sounds like he let Evil dictate his life. Nobody and I mean nobody would come between my me and my mom. She sold his things because he wasn't doing anything for them at the time. Remember when, his parents left Los Angels. They had issues then. He married Vanessa when, they were dead set against it. It was more going on than we know.

No matter what your mom and dad first.its sad he did not spend time with them.when you die what ever you have you can not take it with you.the other sad part kobe work hard but he did not enjoy his fruit of labor 😢

A man who was nasty to his parents. God punished him.
