Fans Say Kobe Bryant’s Parents Were Slighted at His Public Memorial
People are questioning why Kobe Bryant’s parents were barely mentioned at his memorial service, according to EURWeb.
On social media, there was a big buzz around Byrant’s parents being slighted throughout the memorial. Although it was public knowledge that Kobe was slightly estranged from his parents for them selling his memorabilia behind his back, he had just started speaking to his father again, according to reports.
Fans went out of their way to acknowledge Snoop Dogg posted a photo of Bryant’s parents on his Instagram account.
But people kept asking, “Why weren’t Bryant’s parents, Joe and Pam, mentioned at the memorial on Monday?”
I feel Vanessa Bryant ‘s pain but people should also remember that Kobe came from Pam and Joe Bryant . They may not be perfect but i am sure that Kobe loves them. Mamba Mentality isnt about hate, only greatness and that includes forgiveness. I heard GIGI loves his grandpa😭 #RIP pic.twitter.com/G6OMpW74V2

loved #KobeFarewell but to have Kobe’s parents & siblings not mentioned…Kobe did not get here via immaculate conception. Before Kobe was Kobe, he was Joe Bryant’s son the first to introduce him to the game, he was Pam Bryant’s son, his first love of a woman, he was a brother…

I honestly feel for Kobe’s parents. They were just seating there like observers. No one presented them their condolences, Joe Bryant was not given the chance to talk about he prepared him for the game. His mother lost a son! Parents are way too precious to be treated like that.

Joe Bryant and Pam Cox Bryant will always be Kobe Bean Bryant’s parents. They are the primary, secondary and tertiary reasons why Kobe was the well rounded man he was outside of the arena. There is/was no Kobe without them. “Honor thy father and thy mother” is a real commandment.
