The Mamba has gone from infamy to MVP! The Mamba is paid, he can afford it.

Silky Slim says:
The Mamba should also buy watches for the Memphis Grizzlies organization!

“For helping him win MVP”… riiight.

what says:
Shouldn’t this wait until AFTER they win the title?

May.21 at 4:53 pm

youngmuggsy says:
its the only way the lakers are leaving this postseason with any additional jewelry

May.21 at 5:35 pm

bbfan says:
Why do they have to wait till AFTER the title? This was a thank u for helping him win the MVP.

May.21 at 5:44 pm

P.Slight says:
peteb80 (my thoughts exactly), but why is he even paying for his meal as THE TOP Laker in LA one would think Kobe & whoever he’s with would be getting comped everywhere he goes?

May.21 at 6:48 pm

tealish says:
Pslgiht: Paying for the meal probably = signing couple autographs, taking a few pictures.

RV says:
I never got gifts like these, other players have done it before, but i dont get why its so special or great for a millionaire to buy expensive gifts….its like your rich dad handing a party planner 50K and saying “plan that kid a big party, ok? thanks, bye”.

May.21 at 7:43 pm

RV says:
and i agree its a bit early considering he engraved them with names and the yr, if they don’t win a ring, then this year will only be special for Kobe, should have just put their names

May.21 at 8:18 pm

Jackie Moon says:
Wow, didn’t know there was a way to hate on a guy giving away gifts, until I read RV.

May.21 at 9:10 pm

iLL wiLL says:
He cheated on his teammates too? Damn.

May.21 at 9:30 pm

Simone Lawy says:
9000 multiply 14=$126000…whooo

May.21 at 9:33 pm

iLL wiLL says:
That 126,000 is chump change to Hobe.

Dacre says:
its the thought that counts…..this is the millionaires equivilent of making a finger painting and sticking it on your fridge.

Double R says:
Reporter: Kobe why didn’t you buy a watch for Kwame Brown.
Kobe: Well I thought about it and then I said if I gave him one he would just drop and break it.

May.22 at 12:35 am

RV says:
Jackie, i’m not hating on the fact that he wanted to give them something, i just didn’t think the gift itself was that great or thoughtful considering most of them are already millionaires and all Kobe had to do was swipe his visa. (i’m sure he picked the design, etc., but still)

Russ Bengtson says:
If they win the title he should buy them all Lamborghinis.

May.22 at 8:12 am

Logan says:
only Kobe doing something like this would bring out the haters. Guys, he gave something great to his team mates as a token of appreciation. just leave it at that….does not matter what the gift is. Remember, the team is damn lucky to have Kobe playing with them, too…..

Genenene says:
I think a lot of people on here are still upset that THEIR guy didn’t get MVP.

May.28 at 6:08 pm

Kevin says:
yea i don’t see how this is a bad gesture at all.. he won MVP, couldn’tve done it without his teammates, so he spent a bit of money.. some people really hate Kobe huh :S
