Bryant’s loving reputation could be a false image according to those who knew him closely
Kobe Bryant
One of Kobe Bryant‘s childhood friends has slammed the NBA legend as a “terrible” person nearly five years on from his sudden death in California.
Kevin Sanchez met the Los Angeles Lakers‘ icon in Philadelphia and the pair struck up a friendship by bonding over basketball and rap, only for it to turn sour when Sanchez found himself in legal trouble.
Bryant had just made it to the NBA with the Lakers whilst Sanchez got himself arrested and when he turned to the 1996 first round pick for help in court, the door was closed in his face when Bryant refused to testify.
“To me he’s not as good a good person like everybody think he is,” Sanchez said of Bryant to Blood on the Razor Wire. “He turned out to be something. He’s still, to me, the best basketball player I ever seen play besides Michael Jordan.
“To me I never seen nothing like it. He got arrogant as he got bigger and they was feeding his head and that he knew he was becoming the best.
“That’s when he became like a piece of cr*p. As far as us that was his original friends, because he s**t on all of us in at the end of it, if you want to keep it real. He s**t on every single one of us.”
Although Bryant did attempt to pay for Sanchez‘s bail, only to be denied by his own mother, Sanchez feels his refusal to testify is part of why he was found guilty of an undisclosed criminal offence.
Bryant, of course, cannot defend his own name after he was killed in a helicopter crash in January 2020 when the aircraft attempted to fly low through fog and ended up striking the countryside. All passengers, including Bryant and his daughter, were killed.
