Kobe Bryant May Have Driven Dwight Howard Off Idea Of Staying With Lakers

A source, close to Dwight Howard, is claiming that Howard really wants to leave the Los Angeles Lakers, more than ever, after hearing the pitch message from Kobe Bryant.

On Tuesday, Bryant and Dwight had a sit-down meeting to talk about Howard staying with the L.A. Lakers. Bryant also talked about how he could make Howard into a champion, something that Howard didn't like, according to the source. 

It appears that maybe the pitch message Bryant gave Howard has driven him off the idea of resigning with the team altogether. 

Sources close to Howard tell me Kobe's reported pitch in Tuesday's meeting about teaching D12 how to win will be a "complete turnoff" to D12

Kobe Bryant Reaches Settlement With Auction House Over Memorabilia

The auction of Kobe Bryant memorabilia will move forward, as Bryant has reached a settlement with the auction house that was given the items by Bryant's mother. 

According to ABC News, Ken Goldin, owner of Goldin Auctions in New Jersey, announced on Monday that the two sides have reached a settlement, which will allow the items to go up for sale online from June 17 to July 19, as first reported by ESPN.

The items were originally scheduled to take place three weeks earlier, but it was postponed after Bryant's attorney sent a cease-and-desist letter to Goldin Auctions, saying his mother, Pamela Bryant, was not authorized to consign about 100 items to the auctioneer. 

The auction company then sued Bryant, asking the judge for clarification over the items' ownership because the auction house paid $450,000 as an advance to his mother in January, which she used for a new home in Nevada. 

About five years ago, Bryant's mother asked Kobe what he wanted to do with the items, but according to the lawsuit filed by Goldin, Kobe didn't have any interest in the items. 

Pamela Bryant also indicated that her son gave those items to her stating that, "here mom, these are for you," the complaint said. 

Joe and Pamela Bryant released a statement, "We regret our actions and statements related to the Kobe Bryant auction memorabilia. We apologize for any misunderstanding and unintended pain we have caused our son and appreciate the financial support he has provided over the years. We also apologize to Goldin Auctions for their inadvertent involvement in the matter and thank them for their assistance." 

Due to the settlement with Kobe over the items, it's said that the items have dropped 90 percent, but Goldin is "very happy" with the latest selection. 

The six items include two of Bryant's Lower Merion High School uniforms, a 1996 Magic's Roundball Classic All Star medallion and ribbon, his 2000 NBA All-Star game ring, two NBA championship rings issued by the Lakers and gifted by Kobe to Joe Bryant.

Goldin said that five of the six items could reach the six-figure range, with some of the items well into the six-figure range. 

Fifty percent of four Bryant's items will be donated to a charity to be announced later.     

Kobe Bryant Parents Claims He's A Lair

Kobe Bryant parents are claiming that their son is lying when he accused his mother of stealing more than a million dollars worth of basketball memorabilia, only to put the items up for auction, according to TMZ. 

Pamela and Joe, Kobe's parents, both filed sworn declaration in the legal dispute which will show that Kobe knew that the items were going up for sale by Goldin Auctions, the auction house planning on selling Kobe's memorabilia items, along with giving his mother the right to sell the items. 

Kobe's dad claims that he gave his mother the memorabilia over the course of years. The dad also claims that Kobe told his mother, "Here mom, these are for you." 

Kobe's mom says that she never took anything with Kobe's permission. 

Other family members are coming into the fight, as Kobe's sister Sharia Washington has filed a declaration claiming that their mother have been planning on selling Kobe's stuff for year, as their mother claimed to other family members that they could profit off the sell of Kobe's items. 

As of now, a judge has blocked the sell of any of the memorabilia.
