Kobe Bryant Settles With MOM [PHOTOS]:Los Angeles Lakers Guard And Mother, Pamela Bryant Settlle Memorabilia Suit, Parents Issue Public Apology

Kobe Bryant's memorabilia is safe.   The LA Lakers Guard recently settled a dispute with his mother Pamela Bryant regarding the sale and ownership of the property.  According to ESPN, Bryant's parents apologized to him and agreed to a settlement that allows less than 10 percent of the items originally intended for sale to be auctioned.

Bryant and a company that was auctioning off the memorabilia reached a deal one week before the two sides were due to go to trial in New Jersey, reported ESPN Los Angeles. The agreement allows the sale of six items, which Goldin Auctions president Ken Goldin told ESPN.com on Monday morning he is confident still can sell for more than $500,000 combined.

Mstars News reported In May Pamela Bryant was paid a $450,000 advance by Goldin Auctions of New Jersey for the right to sell a hundreds of Kobe's possessions, which include game and practice jerseys from his days at Lower Merion High School, trophies, a 2000 signed All-Star game ball, his varsity high school letters, a Lakers jacket and shorts plus more.

Based on the written statement from the Bryant's, Kobe's parents did not want this suit to cause a rift in their relationship with their son. They said in a statement:

"We apologize for any misunderstanding and unintended pain we have caused our son and appreciate the financial support he has provided over the years. We also apologize to Goldin Auctions for their inadvertent involvement in this matter and thank them for their assistance."

Although the details of the settlement cannot be revealed, Goldin told EPSN LA, "We're offering very rare Kobe Bryant memorabilia," Goldin said. "And for many of these items, this is the only place you'll ever see things like this."

Bidding will start June 17 and close July 19. The auction also includes what Goldin says is the only existing bat from Jackie Robinson's 1949 MVP-winning season, according to ESPN LA.
