She talks about him like he is an object.
And as for kids shoes.... if you're 10 years old right now, Kobe retired when you were 5. Ain't no kids be knowing who Kobe was. The only reason they might have heard of him is because they heard a guy named Kobe died in a helicopter crash. Then a few kids might have YouTube a couple of highlights. If Kobe stuff sold to kids it's because the dad is a fan buying it for his kids. Seriously... If a 12 year old was 7 when Kobe retired 5 years and 1 week ago today.... what supposed kids is Vanessa wanting to sell Kobe gear to?
That's what happens when females take over control of the household. Chaos and drama.
Rip Kobe

I don't see any real chaos or drama. Nor a woman exploiting her deceased husband for profit. If anything, she turned down the millions and millions of dollars that Nike was willing to pay her. Maybe her reasons were not as altruistic as she claims, but that's still a buttload of money that she won't be getting. The Kobe line will probably go to some other shoe company, but for more money than Nike offered? Doubtful.
But yeah. Obviously, Kobes wife has no idea what he actually would have wanted. She should stay in the kitchen and make grilled cheese while the men work out the business details. We'll call you when the deal is done, honey, and all you have to do is sign where we tell you to.
Kids know who Kobe was. And is. If you're just ranking NBA players on Cool Factor, Kobe is #2 all time, right behind MJ. His style, his swagger, the mythical way he left this earth before his time. You can argue about where he belongs on the ATG list based on talent and accomplishments, but for cool... Kobe is #2. And cool factor is what sells shoes.

So a deceased Kobe is going to be a reebok/adidas/newballance athlete or something in the future? Nike already said goodbye in a tweet.

Kobe himself was rumored to be planning to leave Nike before his death.

When he was alive, yes. But what can they do now?

Kobe brand is huge in China. Chinese companies like Lining or Anta should be running to pay top dollar for it.

Why are you wasting time on this? The post wasn't remotely funny or anything.
