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:
What 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.
I agree with her potential craziness but less with the “PIMP FOCUS”. Vanessa doesn’t get out of the house much and she has to drag the kids around most of the times that she does. So I guess she took it upon herself to live it up at the ESPY Awards this year. Mrs. Kobe Bryant went all out with a revealing and boob-crushing black jumpsuit. I’m a huge fan of women showing skin but this just seems a bit excessive. It screams, “You still think I’m sexy… right, babe?” I’d say that Vanessa still looks good. However, the jumpsuit (via poor & fly) she wore simply doesn’t look good… and I’m worried that she might go downhill in a hurry. And I’m also going to try to move to LA and get a job as her pool boy so I can her male NoHo 24/7. Not exactly sure what that means, but I’m pretty sure it’s awesome. Here’s the fat arm picture plus the rest of the pictures of the Bryants at the ESPY Awards:
