20 years ago today, Kobe Bryant was down & upset with the trophy after winning the Lakers’ 2001 championship, not celebrating 🏆

Why? Kobe’s father, Joe, did not attend any NBA Finals games that year because him & his wife did not attend Kobe’s wedding because Vanessa was a Latin American.

Kobe years later on the photos: “That was for my dad.”

In 2013, Kobe’s parents sold $1.5 Million worth of memorabilia without his permission.
