    She lives in a house Kobe bought her and wants a second so she can screw around in Vegas. Maybe it's her 3rd house. I don't know.

    Get your stuff out of your parents house long before they die!

    My mother kept her college papers at my grandmother's summer cottage, which went to my uncle, who then threw out all my mother's stuff. When my parents died, I lost things, too.

    Well almost all homes in Vegas have pools. It is not IF it has a hole in the ground, it is what it looks like that counts.

    I also said "nice" and "safe".

    Vegas has a high crime rate in general. Safe = guard gated and patrolled, or if not that most of the safer areas are in Summerlin area, or even better is Henderson with it's own police department.

    Nice = built or fully remodeled in last 10 years. Lush and mature landscaping. High End pool.

    http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/524-Via-Ernesto-Henderson-NV-89052/79871213_zpid/
    http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2242-Driftwood-Tide-Ave-Henderson-NV-89052/66852608_zpid/
    http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2925-Carmelo-Dr-Henderson-NV-89052/52214981_zpid/

    Here are a couple of examples of what I am talking about. Safe neighborhoods. Nice houses. Small, but nice yards and pools. But, these houses will not blow you away. They won't impress anybody in Vegas. And, try finding a bunch of houses like this to buy right now. You won't. Inventory is tight and the nicest ones go fast. Like I said, Kobe giving $250k to his mom was really saying "go get a (small) Condo in a secured building. Cause that's all you can get. Kobe's mom isn't going to live in Paradise.

    Yeah, what's with this notion that Vegas was expensive that some poster was bumbling about? My cousin lives in an awesome house with a pool that she got by herself on her lone income in LV.

    If the judge allows the auction to go ahead, the price just went up.

    The big FU to mom would be if the judge gives the stuff back to Kobe and he puts it up for auction.

    She got NBA player Jellybean Bryant to marry her, so we already know she's a golddigger. Now she's golddigging her own son.

    the only people who stood on the groom's side of that wedding were his bodyguards. Not his parents, not his sisters, not a Laker or a friend.

    according to Mag's link, she's been spending $18,000 a year to store & insure his shit outside her house for the last 5 years after storing it in her home for the previous 10+. I'm guessing Vanessa will back up the story that years back Mom tried to get him to pick it up & pretty sure the judge will side with her on grounds that he'd abandoned it

    No matter how estranged, a public figure suing his mother is unbelievably over the top. Everything points to him being the conceited douchebag we know him to be

    How do you spend $18,000. a year on storage fees, when what you are storing are things like jerseys and rings? You could store the contents of an entire house for that!

    She was keeping all the extra rape kits and his spare ego in there.

    The only way she could pay $18,000 per month ($216,000 per year) is if she got the money from her son. So Kobe really paid to store his own stuff, and should continue to. She's just cashing in.

    It was 18,000 a year, not a month

    Your eyes are failing you again. I wrote $18,000 a year not month.
