Kobe Bryant won five championships with the Los Angeles Lakers, demonstrating the height of his skill as a basketball player. Even though Bryant was able to fulfill the expectations of his parents, Joe and Pam Bryant, his marriage to Vanessa Bryant (née Laine) against their desires caused a rift in their relationship. Kobe and his family became estranged for years as a result of the argument; his parents essentially severed their relationship with him.

Kobe’s parents attended his funeral

Sebastian Telfair, the former teammate of Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder, recently made an appearance on Vlad TV to discuss hoops.

He offered his opinion on Kobe’s parents selling his championship ring replica and other items for cash during the event.

During his speech, Telfair attacked Kobe Bryant for not supporting his parents while putting his NBA concentration on display. Telfair was well aware of the circumstances, having gone through a similar experience with his parents after being married to his former spouse. The 38-year-old, though, asserted that he would never comprehend how someone could place a higher value on hoops championships than family responsibilities.

Bryant’s parents, according to Telfair, had helped him develop into the ideal NBA player. That ultimately proved to be counterproductive for them, though. In an interview with DJ Vlad, the former Mr. Basketball USA said,

He [Kobe] was focused on basketball. That’s what they [his parents] f**king wanted him. That’s how they wanted him. He’s f**king perfect for the NBA, can’t even function enough to talk to your f**king parents. Maybe, that got nothing to do with him winning the f**king championship. F**k the Lakers, ni**a.”  “I wish I would have got my f**king money so I could just give everything to my parents, just ’cause I really had the f**king money,”
