Despite a nice showing at Sunday's NBA All Star game in Houston, Kobe Bryant is not reaping many of the benefits of professional athlete superstardom these days.
While the Los Angeles Laker was able to reconcile differences with his wife Vanessa Bryant to call of their divorce proceedings, the timing couldn't have been much worse for the couple. The near-divorce has cost Bryant and his family their beloved $3 million mansion Vanessa was awarded during the initial divorce proceedings.
According to TMZ, Mrs. Bryant sold the 6,000-square-foot mansion for roughly $3.22 million when it closed in January, but the canceled divorce won't bring back the home they first purchased in 1999 for $1 million. As if that wasn't bad enough, Bryant initially listed the home for $3.75 million and allowed it to go for more than a half a million dollars less than the listed price. Ouch.
The couple's divorce is off the books, but will it last? Comment and let us know what you think of the Bryants.
