Whose side are you on, Kobe Bryant's or his mom's, and why? With whom do you see the legal system siding? Do you have any "priceless" childhood memorabilia? Would you care if your parent(s) made any money off your childhood memorabilia?

For those that like to travel, having a camera
with them is a necessity. Don't think you need an expensive camera and equipment setup either. Some cameras are simple point and shoot while others have many different modes for taking pictures.

Of course I would care if my parents made money off of anything that was childhood memorabilia. I am siding with Kobe Bryant. That is his stuff to keep, or do with whatever he pleases to. His mom shouldn't be selling it; if she needed money, she could have found something else to sell or something.
I'm on Kobe's side. He had this stuff as a kid and if his mom found that stuff priceless, why would she sell it? I see the legal system siding with Kobe. And honestly, I don't have any priceless childhood memorabilia. And if my parents sold anything that I truly cherished, I'd be upset.
I'm on Kobe's side. It's his stuff. I see the system siding with Kobe. I don't care about my memorabilia.
This shouldn't even be an issue. As a mom, shouldn't she want to remember her son's childhood? These items aren't hers to sell. Kobe should be able to make this decision because he is the one who worked hard for these items. I think everyone has certain items from their childhood that they want to hold onto - jerseys, home run baseballs, souvenirs, etc. I'm not Kobe Bryant so I don't think my parents would be able to make anything off my old stuff.

I'm on Kobe's side because I'm very attached to jerseys that I've worn in past games. They hold memories that you will never forget. I really can't tell who will win because Kobe wouldn't have all the things he has now without his mom. Yes, I do and if they would sell it then I hope I would at least get some of the money.
I am on Kobe's mom's side. If he hasn't come and gotten his stuff then it must not mean a lot to him. If you think about it, parents have yard sales and sell a bunch of their kids' stuff anyway. Right off the top of my head I can't think of any priceless memorabilia that I have. If my mom wanted to sell it after I had moved out, then I would be okay with that.
I'm on team Kobe! It's all his stuff, not his moms. I see the legal system siding with Kobe. I don't see my parents making any money off my stuff.
I am definitely on Kobe's side. I can't believe someone's mom would sell their childhood stuff; my mom doesn't even want me to throw it away. I think the court is going to side with Kobe, because it is his stuff. I don't really have any "priceless" childhood memorabilia. I probably wouldn't care if my mom made money off my stuff, because I'm not famous like Kobe and she wouldn't get much.
I'm on Kobe's side. I see the legal system siding with Kobe. I have some important childhood memorabilia. I would care if my parents sold my stuff.
I am on Kobe's side because it seems like she just wants to make money from her son's stuff. I see the legal system being on Kobe's side. My mom told me that everything we do is a memorabilia because we will never be young again. I would care if my parents sold my stuff because I wanna make money not them!
I want to know why Kobe is fighting his mom over money. He's already filthy rich. His mom did raise him and everything she should be able to sell his old stuff, he's not hurting for money.
I am on Kobe's side, because I wouldn't want my mom to sell my stuff without asking me first. It would probably be fine if she asked though. I wouldn't have this problem though because my mom is very sentimental and will probably not even let me take it out of the house when I leave. I think the legal system will side with Kobe. The memorabilia is lawfully his. Yes, I have "priceless" childhood memorabilia; doesn't everyone?
I am on Kobe Bryant's side. That stuff could mean a lot to him and his mom is having a yard sale with it. I have some things that are "priceless" to me. I would be really mad if my parents sold my stuff.
I'm on Kobe's side because it's still his stuff and his mother shouldn't sell it just for money. The memorabilia could mean a lot to him and be very important. No one should give away someone else child hood memories.

I would be devastated if my mom sold my childhood possessions without me knowing. My mom and I are clean freaks and are never called a pack rat. So I can see my mom selling some of my toys that didn't have much meaning to me. I would not mind if my mom sold some of my old possessions if she asked for my permissions. I do have "priceless" childhood memorabilia, and I would be crushed if my parents sold them for money. Money can't replace timeless memories.
I am definitely on Kobe's side. His mom shouldn't sell his things knowing that he's worth millions of dollars. Most of my pictures are my childhood memories, I really don't keep things that I've had. I wouldn't care if I wasn't famous if my parents sold my things.
I am on Kobe Bryant's side because his mom should have asked him before trying to sell his things. I see the legal system siding with Kobe Bryant because it is his stuff, not his moms. I have a lot of priceless childhood memorabilia. I wouldn't care if my parents sold my childhood things that don't mean anything to me.
I feel like Kobe's mom is just looking to get rich. it seems like he doesn't really care about what her son and the public think. I am definitely on Kobe's side.
I agree with Kobe. If he wants to keep his stuff he should be able to. If she wants money that bad why don't he just give her some?
Kobe's mom should be sent to prison for 50 years. I think Kobe is right in his accusations that his mother is selling stuff that doesnt belong to her. I can understand a normal person getting their stuff sold, however, It's Kobe Bryant.
I think that what she did was wrong whether it was his or hers to deal with. I think that it should have meant more to her than to just put it in a yard sell to get money. I think that she should have talked to him and told him that she had a lot of his stuff from his child hood and he probably would have taken it. If he didn't want it and neither did she I somewhat understand what she did because it can't all sit around and collect dust, she could have asked the high school if they anted it or to buy it. I think it should have gone to places that wanted it not to personal people.
I'm on Kobe's side. Kobe's mom is trying to get rich off of him. The legal system will side Kobe.
I am on Kobe's side. I See the legal system siding with Kobe. Yes i have priceless childhood memorabilia. my parents would not sell my stuff.
I'm on Kobe's side. I see it siding with Kobe. No I don't think I have any priceless items. I would care if they sold them unless they asked me or split the difference between the two of us.
I siding with my cousin Kobe his mom shouldn't sell his stuff for money.His stuff could mean a lot to him and they could have memorys of how far he came with it.

I'm with Kobe because that is his stuff and his mom selling it to get money is wrong. If anything the memories of the items should be more value to her than the money. The legal system would most likely side with her anyway because they are money hungry too. I don't really know if I have anything worth a lot of value to other people but its worth a lot of value to me. I would be so mad if my parents sold my stuff without my permission!
Im on Kobe's side. She shouldnt be selling her sons stuff. The legal system would probably be on his side. His mom just wants to be more rich. I dont think I have any childhood memobilia, but I would be upset if my parents sold it to someone who doesnt care like he does.
I would definitely care if my mom sold my stuff for money. I still have paintings and drawings from when I was younger. I think Kobe is right in how he feels. If it has meaning to him why are you going to sell it? All of the things I have from when I was younger have meaning to me. I would be angry at my mom if she sold them.

I'm on kobe's side. That won't right for his mom to do that. Probably with kobe, his mom should at least asked him first. I think I have some priceless. I have to make sure. Yes, I would be very upset about this.
I am on Kobe Bryant's side. I think that it would be a different story if he was not famous. But since he is I think his mom is just trying to make money. Yes, I do have Priceless childhood memorabilia and it is still in my closet, however I think there is more of a personal attachment to it then anything else. I would be highly upset if my mom tried to make a buck off of my old childhood memories.
I am on Kobe's side, because it's messed up for his mom just to try to get money off of him. I believe the legal system will side with Kobe over hi smother, becasue he is the one with rich and fame, not his mother. Also, they are making her seem out to just want money, which also makes me believe they will not take her side. All of my childhood things are not priceless, but if they are just sitting around and I'm not using them, I'm okay with them going to someone else. I just think that it's selfish what they are doing, and wrong if I don't want them making money off my things.

I'm on Kobe's side. It isn't right for her to try to sell his childhood memorabilia. I have a few of my jerseys from baseball when I was little. I don't think you could make money off those jerseys and my parents wouldn't do that anyway.
I don't know whose side i'm on. there wasn't really enough information to make me pick a side. I agree with both sides. I do not have any priceless memorabilia. I would not care if they asked me first.
I'm on Kobe's side. It wasn't it right for his mom to do that. Most likely with Kobe. No i don't. No.
I can see where both sides are coming from, but they even mentioned that his mom "hopes" that his stuff was going to be worth millions and to me that's selfish. If I were Kobe, I wouldn't want some of my first jerseys sold (especially not the Lakers one). If she wanted them out of the house that bad, he has plenty of space in his house to store it, but I think she was running for the money. I'm actually glad that they're going to take time out to resolve this instead of him just letting it go so she can make profit. I really don't have anything to me from my childhood that means a significant amount to me. I mean, I keep my MVP's and trophies from softball and dance, but that's about it. I doubt my parents would ever try to sell my keep sakes. It's different when you're a million or billionaire because people go absolutely insane over any of your stuff.
I'm siding with Kobe. I don't think it is right at all for a Mother to sell her sons prized possessions. Usually parents are the keepsaker's who hold their children's belongs to their heart forever. Instead it seems like his Mom is getting money hungry. I am sure Kobe helps his Mom out financially enough. So why would she want more?. Those cherished belongs will be greatly valued one day by one of his children. I was a only child so my mom was a fanatic when it came to saving every little single thing of mine, no matter how small or big. I have stuff that has been put up and a way for me in which has grown larger value and I know for a fact that my Mother or Father would never sink that low to get rid of it.

I side with Kobe. It's extremely selfish for his mother to sell his childhood memorabilia. Especially without his permission. Legally I think Kobe will win.
I side with Kobe. I don't think any of my childhood stuff will be worth enough to sell. I would be mad if my anyone (especially family) just sold anything I had without asking. if she needed money that badly you could always just ask Kobe. I heard he has money.
I think that if the mom asked the child to come and get there stuff and they didn't, I would get rid of the stuff too. The child needs to take the time to come and get their belongings. It's not like the mother stole his stuff. He left it at her house for years. It depends on what the child does about their stuff.
