Vanessa Bryant has always been one of my favorite athletes’ wives. Kobe did an excellent job when he plucked young Vanessa from high school and promptly married her. I wrote about their somewhat rocky relationship a few weeks ago.
Here’s Robert Littal’s take on Vanessa from BlackSportsOnline:
Tags: espn, espy, Kobe Bryant, red carpet, Vanessa Bryant, wivesWhat people don’t understand is attraction comes in many forms. Of course there is physical attraction which is important, but at a certain point that is just one element. Vanessa isn’t the finest woman I have ever seen. I heard she is a bit crazy and what not, but the attraction for me is how she played the game.
She has played it so perfectly since she was 17 years old, that it is the blueprint for all women who have ambitions to grow up an marry an athlete.
She maybe the only wife of an athlete I know of, that if her husband left her, the public would turn against him. D Wade leaves his wife no one cares, but if Kobe left Vanessa it would be on the front page of every newspaper, website and blog in America. Hell it would probably lead the news in China. She got the game on lock.
That young lady PIMP FOCUS is strong which is why before I leave LA, I am going to try to get a job as their pool boy so I can be her male NoHo 24/7. I mean I am Robert Littal.
