Guest Polish_Rifle Report post Posted April 28, 2003 Even Kobe Bryant's dad does not respect him. His own father. The LA Times had an article yesterday about Kobe's lack of relationship with his dad, Joe Bryant. Apparently, Joe does not approve of his son's marriage to an 18 year old. he doesn't mind that his son was dating an underaged high school teen, but he does not like the fact that she is a Latina. It got so bad, that his parents did not attend Kobe's wedding 2 years ago. Joe refuses to see their house and he has yet to meet his granddaughter. Kinda sad if you think about it.

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted April 28, 2003 Damn. It's usualy at times like this when dad runs out of nowhere and look for handouts from their rich kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MentallyNormal Report post Posted April 28, 2003 Damn that really sucks for Kobe. Hope his Dad comes around an accepts his decision and her and the child. Even though I don't cheer for Kobe when he is playing, I’m cheering for his Dad to accept his wife and child. If he doesn't then he needs to piss off. Kobe Bryant is doing damn fine on his fucking own. 3 rings +1 including the wedding ring, nice life, beautiful wife, a kid and playing for the fucking Lakers. He also has a 7 foot genie playing with him. Kazzam Shim Shim Ali Bim Joe Bryant! Phil is his Father his biological Didn't Bother Shaq rapped about his dad.

Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted April 28, 2003 Is the girl 18 right NOW? Or was she 18 a few years back? If the girl is only 18 right now, then he was robbing the cradle. That sucks that his dad would have those feelings about dating outside the race. Especially refusing to see the grandchild. Sick thinking individual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Grand Pubah of 1620 Report post Posted April 29, 2003 Damn! He's only 24. There's no huge age difference there. His dad needs to take a valium and relax. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Redhawk Report post Posted April 29, 2003 I also forgot to mention that his dad coaches for the Diablos in Slam Ball. Okay, someone explain what a SlamBall coach does. "Alright fellas, take the ball up court and try to dunk. Then when they get the ball, try to get a steal and another dunk. After that, when we get the ball back, take it to the hole again." Seriously, I've watched SlamBall and no one runs any plays or anything. All the coach seems to do is manage substitutions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Polish_Rifle Report post Posted April 29, 2003 Slam Ball is awesome. Did anyone catch the slamdunk contest? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Redhawk Report post Posted April 29, 2003 Yeah, I liked the guy who bounced back-first off the trampoline and dunked. Who ended up winning anyway? I missed the end. And, seriously, what do the coaches do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
