Kobe Leaves $2,000 Tip At N.Y.C. Club

You don’t score 61-points in the Mecca often, so why not: “He was in the VIP area, where there were strict orders not to let any women in near him,” we’re told. On his way out, Bryant (who drank water), after ordering two bottles of champagne for his pals, left the waitresses a $2,000 tip.”

    Kobe, if you’re going to give out money that carelessly, give it to a good cause. The “NBA Cares”? Bullsh*t if players do stuff like this over giving to the less fortunate.

    Moose … common now little man lol. I am sure he gives enough. He probly made that girl’s week!! I know if I got a 2000 dollar tip I would be soaring on a cloud. Let him be nice. Eveyrthing doesn’t have to be for sick children. God love em’!!

    cool, thats like me leaving a £1 tip, go Kobe!

  • BETCATS Posted: Feb.4 at 6:43 pm
    yall act like this is uncommon in sports. The year Ladainian Tomlinson won NFL MVP he bought his whole Offensive Line $5,000 watches. “We rich, b!tch!’

    In the words of Jim Jones: “Ballin”

    a guy my mom knows cut kobe’s hair, so he brings his kid up there in hopes of meeting him and the guard tells him that kobe wouldn’t allow the kid in so he had to sit in the car while he cut his hair. so the guy is lining him up with a straight razor and kobe keeps moving and the barber requested that he stop moving and kobe gave him a nasty look and when it was over threw a 20 dollar bill at him and walked out. the guy threw it at the guard and told him you tell him i dont want his money. stories like this can never be proven and sometimes be not true but either way kobe is a douche. this was recently btw.

    Kobe, Kobe, Kobe. As the comments show, people either love him or hate him, but we all have an opinion.

  • Anton Posted: Feb.4 at 7:12 pm
    Trump left a $10,000 tip, try harder r@pist

  • Boing Dynasty Posted: Feb.4 at 7:18 pm
    Anton, your moms friend is talented, considering kobe hasnt seen his hair line with out using multipul mirrors since like ’03.

  • Anton Posted: Feb.4 at 7:25 pm
    BAZ-ZZING!

  • Michael NZ Posted: Feb.4 at 7:48 pm
    ‘Waitresses’ not ‘waitress’. He made more than one girls week.

    My favorite line was “stories like this can never be proven and sometimes be not true but either way kobe is a douche.”

  • Jackie Moon Posted: Feb.4 at 7:49 pm
    Also, I’m surprised Anton didn’t find a way to fit in the words “diamond ring” into his comments. Please oblige.

  • Anton Posted: Feb.4 at 7:52 pm
    The bills probably had hotel addresses written on them

  • Solomon Posted: Feb.4 at 7:53 pm
    You talk about LT but kob bought his whole team watches that were worth upwards of 25000 each!

  • Solomon Posted: Feb.4 at 7:54 pm
    when he won the mvp last year

  • Homie Posted: Feb.4 at 7:54 pm
    Did any bears come up to the VIP area?

  • Peter Posted: Feb.4 at 8:00 pm
    Lay off the hatorade people… Dude tries to be nice and still cops it from you fools…

  • Simon S.Y Lawy Posted: Feb.4 at 8:38 pm
    gimme the money…

  • BETCATS Posted: Feb.4 at 8:49 pm
    Anton is a Celtics fan that is very creative and likes telling stories ‘that cannot be proven’.

  • Anton Posted: Feb.4 at 9:11 pm
    nope, I just wanna see Kobe and the Lakers burn

  • Smoovetendo Posted: Feb.4 at 10:24 pm
    lol I think its hilarious/pathetic when Kobe haters call Kobe a r@pist

  • James the balla Posted: Feb.4 at 10:36 pm
    Anton is a r@pist!!

  • DubJ Posted: Feb.4 at 11:16 pm
    If you hate Kobe so much then why are you freaking reading the story? Get a life.

  • Darksaber Posted: Feb.4 at 11:25 pm
    damn, people.

  • Jukai Posted: Feb.5 at 12:19 am
    So does Lebron give a waitress 1200 dollars then donate 800 to charity to one-up Kobe?

  • Anton Posted: Feb.5 at 12:23 am
    ^ and he says “see you soon, NY” on his way out to further tease the mecca

  • B. Long Posted: Feb.5 at 12:39 am
    Moose, your way off on this one, little homie. Wait til you get your first sh!tass job waiting tables or bartending somewhere and you’ll know he did help the less fortunate.

  • John Posted: Feb.5 at 1:48 am
    what a great guy his pr people sure know how to make an arrogant big headed ball hog look less unselfish great assist

  • Jukai Posted: Feb.5 at 3:19 am
    Way to ruin my joke, Anton.

  • Dacre Posted: Feb.5 at 4:30 am
    I wanna see a cleveland lakers final just to watch lebron one up on a brother.

  • rav Posted: Feb.5 at 6:00 am
    no women near him then – at least he’s improving!

  • Gerard Himself Posted: Feb.5 at 9:02 am
    Anton stop being such a moron. Calling Kobe a r@pist is a bit childish here. You might not like the guy, we understand that, but please, shut up. Shut up. That’s all I’m asking.

  • rikson Posted: Feb.5 at 9:34 am
    Thats just boring and not worth reading. Im out….

  • Russ Bengtson Posted: Feb.5 at 10:50 am
    When you’re an NBA superstar with a signature shoe, the whole world is “the less fortunate.” That time Kobe gave Trevor Ariza $20 to tip a locker room attendant? Yep, helping the less fortunate.

  • Doc Funk Posted: Feb.5 at 10:53 am
    Lebron would leave a $2,001 tip at the same club on Wednesday night.

  • Coast To Coast | WaitingForNextYear Posted: Feb.5 at 2:00 pm
    [...] the waitress to a huge tip (get your mind out of the gutter). The NY Post has the scoop (via SLAM ONLINE): At least Bryant was happy to be patted down and stayed until 4 a.m. “He was in the VIP [...]

  • BostonBaller Posted: Feb.5 at 10:51 pm
    Ther’s nothing wrong with Kobe leaving that tip and HE DOES help charities. He is killing us here in the 4th qtr!!

  • LADi_BASKETBALL Posted: Feb.10 at 12:52 pm
    this guy is the serious scum of the earth….

  • LakeShowLegend Posted: Feb.10 at 2:39 pm
    Kobe makes $21 mil this year, and averages 36.5 minutes a game. That $2,000 tip was only 20 seconds of playing time for him. I think Kobe can leave tips like that if he wants to, especially after setting the MSG scoring record. At least he didn’t shoot himself in a club like New York Athletes (Plaxico) Kobe’s the Best
