Kobe Bryant's parents have claimed that their star son was lying when he accused his mother of stealing more than a million dollars worth of his basketball memorabilia and putting it up for auction.
The NBA star's mom and dad-Pamela and Joe-both filed sworn declarations in the legal dispute between Kobe and Goldin Auctions, the auction house planning to sell off the valuable stuff, insisting Bryant willingly gave his mother the items in question and it's her right to sell them, TMZ.com reported.
According to Bryant's dad, the Lakers star gave his mother the memorabilia over the years, telling her, "Here mom, these are for you."
The mum insists she never took anything from him without permission.
Even his grandma has filed a declaration in support of Pamela.
Bryant's sister Sharia Washington, on the other hand, filed a declaration claiming their mother has been conspiring to sell his stuff for years, telling her the family could profit greatly from his stardom.
