Kobe Bryant's Wife Vanessa Doesn't Want to Be Married to Someone Who Can't Win Championships: Fair or Foul?

Kobe and Vanessa Bryant have called off their divorce, but he still has his work cut out for him: "I certainly would not want to be married to somebody that can’t win championships. If you’re sacrificing time away from my family and myself for the benefit of winning championships, then winning a championship should happen every single year," she tells New York magazine of her NBA star husband.

But Bryant certainly enjoys her lavish lifestyle. "I’m not really a handbag person anymore," she tells the magazine. “I’ve collected Birkin bags, Chanel 2.55 jumbo flap bags, and the Marc Jacobs Stephen Sprouse collection for Louis Vuitton since I was a teenager. But now, as they say, everyone and their mom is buying a Birkin or a regular size 2.55 bag in black, taupe, or beige. I’ve been sticking to a magenta suede Proenza Schouler bag."

But she says she's not as superficial as people might think. "I think people imagine that I sit at home with all the time in the world to do my hair and makeup, but that’s certainly not the case," she says. "I’m up at 6:30 in the morning with my kids. I’m taking them wherever they need to go," adding that she doesn't use a nanny. But do you think her comment about winning championships was too harsh? Or should Kobe be forever grateful that she forgave him for cheating?

    Gold digging tramp. She knew what his profession was and what it called for before she married him. She is fake. If he didnt have millions she wouldn't be with him anyway. If he was at home spending time with the family and not bringing in money, she would bail. If I was Kobe and had his money, I'd trash her butt and find another one.

    If you can't be happy for marrying the person the way they are and doing the best they can in their everyday life, you shouldn't be married to that person at all.

    If someone can't be happy for who you are, whether you win championships or not, then you shouldn't be married to them.

    Firstly great up at 6:30 am don't use a nanny, running errands your thier mom, women who don't have a thick bank account balance these things everyday and don't brag about them as if they're a charity., nor do we hear of or read of the other sports wives doing so. Vanessa Bryant tells too much of her business, and she has a big mouth, she's like the little boy who cried wolf with her divorce filings, she needs to stop lying about not being superficial, who is she trying to convince the public or herself? She rambles on about designer purses, states she won't marry someone who does'nt win championships, of course she's forgiving to Kobe, look at the apology gifts, so she can be bought and her statements verify that fact. So exactly what is she stating? the day Kobe's team does'nt bring home a championship she's going to finish filing that divorce and search for a replacement? Well she should have thought before letting her true colors show, because now she's let the other men not just in this country but in other countries as well know her for what she is and she's just cut the takers vying for her in half! Maybe more.

    " should Kobe be forever grateful that she forgave him for cheating?" Oh please. She only forgave him for cheating probably because she knows she can't maintain such a lavish lifestyle without him. Yes she gets up at 6:30 to take care of kids but boo hoo, so do a lot of parents, and most of the are working too. Look at the perks she's getting married to him.

    Rich men married to women too lazy to work or too hooked on a life of luxury almost always get forgiven for cheating.

    I reckon he cheated on her for a reason, and he should've left her for good.

    Are you for real? I would die to be married to such a great basketball player. So what he hasn't one a championship. She didn't seem to be complaining when he was giving her all that money to spend. Not a single team win the championship every single year. Get over yourself.

    I guess it's foul but he chose to marry her. And he found out that choosing a life partner based on looks and little else can get terribly old fast. Otherwise, he never would have cheated on her. But since she rarely speaks in public, I'll chalk it up to a oral misstep on her part. Maybe s good publicity rep should be hired first to do some coaching before she decides to give another interview.

    Soooo, no other professional athlete should get married until they retire, because unless they are of the small percentage that wins championships, its not worth the time away from home?? She needs to think before she speaks. Or if that's what she truly meant, she needs to stop speaking in public because now everyone knows how ignorant she is.

    There may be very good reasons to not be married to Kobe but that isn't one of them.
    However, I consider her opinion to be a good enough reason to divorce that gold-digger.

    She is a money grubbing, no talent fool. She would have nothing without him. She needs to understand that his talent is her meal ticket and either shut up and take the deal or finish her law suit and get her half of what he has now.

    Vanessa is being silly and very unrealistic. And she is also being quite unreasonable and very very unfair to boot. After all, Kobe is only human. He may not be the greatest
    human being around (name someone who is), but he is still a living, breathing, loving,
    feeling human being, and a damn good basketball player to boot. And he deserves to be
    treated much MUCH MUCH better than that by Vanessa. If she really wanted a perfect
    athletic he man of a paragon, then why the hell diden't she marry Herculese or Mercury
    instead of Kobe in the first place? I belive that Vanessa owes Kobe a sincere and very public apology for both such thoughtlessness and for her overt selfishness.


    SHAME! SHAME! SHAME ON YOU Vanessa!

    Not really fair, but no other option. I think she's just saying that to motivate him. She knows how much he thrives off criticism. I doubt she really cares about the championships so much as she cares about the $$ and fame, to be honest.

    You marry someone to be there for you, and love you. You don't marry someone, and then walk out when they can't win. What happened to 'For better or worse'? I don't think that applies to losing a championship, at least he has a job, and can support your family. She has not room to speak, she has a pretty good life compared to A LOT of Americans, and people in different countries, as well.

    They should have never been married. What good is a fair weathered spouse? He should trade her in.
