Kobe’s parents did not approve of his marriage to Vanessa because she is not of African-American descent. Kobe and his parents were estranged for two years but reconciled when his daughter was born. His daughter, Natalia who was born in 2002, triggered the reconciliation between Kobe and his parents.
In 2003, he was accused of sexual assault which was filed by a hotel employee. Kobe admitted that he had sex with the 19 year old but the act was consensual. This issue had put a strain on Kobe’s marriage because of this adulterous sexual encounter with the young girl. The court found that Kobe was not guilty of rape and he gained the trust of his wife again soon after. Their second daughter, Gianna, was born in 2006. But it all ended now, as his wife decided it's time to end the marriage.

Part of you may have wondered if Donnie Walsh's step down from the office of the President of Basketball Operations was nothing more than one giant facepalm. In the NBA news the Knicks got their man all right. They got Carmelo Anthony who decided he wanted to play in New York and New York only. But instead of capitalizing on what should have been the ultimate position of strength, the Knicks once again managed to bungle the situation, and in doing so, cost themselves a world of assets they needed to build around Anthony.
The Nuggets were going to break. That much was clear. After an All-Star Saturday night meeting between Anthony and Mikhail Prokhorov failed to convince Melo to hitch his wagon to the Brooklyn train, the Nuggets really had no other option. But instead of keeping Donnie Walsh's poker face as the expression of the organization, squeezing every bit of advantage out of a situation they couldn't really lose as long as they remained cool, James Dolan brought Chef Isiah Thomas into the kitchen, turned the burners on high, and torched everything.We thought the days of the Knicks being the team you looked to try and take advantage of were over. But James Dolan proved that you can take the front office out of the crazy, but you can't take the crazy out the ownership.
