Kobe Bryant and his father, Joe, at a baseball game in Los Angeles in June 2009. <p>The Lakers’ 2000 season was nothing short of brilliant.

The boyish Bryant gave the gold and diamond piece of jewelry to his proud father, Joe Bryant, who had also been an NBA player but never matched his son’s accomplishments. Today that image seems rather unreal, erased by time and its vicissitudes. A quarter of a century later, the world has changed. Kobe got married, had four daughters. The Bryants drifted apart. Never again were they that close-knit family. Kobe died four years ago, when he was only 41. And now, to many people’s surprise, it has come to light that Joe and Pam, the athlete’s parents, are selling the ring. They have put it up for auction for just $30,000, although following a dozen bids it almost reached $100,000. The most surprising, or serious, or peculiar part of the story is that they had tried to cash in on Kobe’s belongings before, but his son put a stop to it.</p><p><a href="https://english.elpais.com/people/2024-03-24/an-nba-ring-an-auction-and-a-vast-fortune-the-bryants-war-drags-on-four-years-after-kobes-death.html" target="_blank">Seguir leyendo</a></p> https://english.elpais.com/sports/2024-01-23/cavaliers-tristan-thompson-suspended-25-games-for-violating-nbas-drug-policy-with-positive-tests.html Tue, 23 Jan 2024 20:04:54 GMT https://english.elpais.com/sports/2024-01-23/cavaliers-tristan-thompson-suspended-25-games-for-violating-nbas-drug-policy-with-positive-tests.html AP Associated Press Thompson spent his first nine seasons as a pro with the Cavs before bouncing around.

Stephen Curry scored 50 points in Game 7 against Sacramento. <p>Stephen Curry vs. LeBron James. Two of the best players in the NBA will face each other again this Tuesday in the Western Conference semifinals. The Warriors will host in San Francisco the first game of a series that feels like something of déjà vu, since Curry’s and James’ teams faced each other in four consecutive finals between 2015 and 2018 (three of them went to the Californians and one went to Cleveland). That said, the meeting will rather be marked by the recital the Golden State point guard gave on Sunday to eliminate the Sacramento Kings (120-100). Curry scored 50 points and broke the scoring record for a seventh game. His performance provided his team with oxygen for them to continue on the path to defend the title they achieved last year against the Celtics. The next hurdle is the legendary Lakers.</p><h3>NBA Playoffs 2023: Games, schedule and scores</h3><p><a href="https://english.elpais.com/sports/2023-05-01/curry-vs-lebron-the-clash-in-the-west-that-feels-like-a-final.html" target="_blank">Seguir leyendo</a></p> https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-04-29/jack-nicholson-returns-to-courtside-for-lakers-playoff-game.html Sat, 29 Apr 2023 16:11:19 GMT https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-04-29/jack-nicholson-returns-to-courtside-for-lakers-playoff-game.html AP Associated Press Nicholson was a fixture in the last half-century of Lakers history, cheering on the team during several eras of success after getting season tickets in 1970 Nicholson was a fixture in the last half-century of Lakers history, cheering on the team during several eras of success after getting season tickets in 1970 Jack Nicholson Los Ángeles Lakers Lebron James CAROLINE BREHMAN (EFE) NBA Playoffs - Memphis Grizzlies at Los Angeles Lakers US actor Jack Nicholson attends game six of the NBA Western Conference first round playoff series between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Los Angeles Lakers.
