Had Joe Bryant and Kobe Bryant made up before the helicopter crash in 2020?

The Bryant family has suffered another heartbreaking loss as Joe Bryant, the father of late basketball legend Kobe Bryant, has passed away.

The news of Joe‘s passing has led many people to wonder whether he managed to rebuild the relationship with his son before the tragic helicopter crash in 2020 that saw Kobe and one of his daughters lose their lives

There was some public animosity between Kobe and his parents back in the day, with him once tweeting: “When u give Give GIVE and they take Take TAKE at wat point do u draw a line in the sand?”

That was in response to news stories claiming that Joe and Pam had been auctioning off some of his memorabilia without asking him for permission first.

Pam and Joe ‘Jellybean’ Bryant also avoided attending their son’s marriage in 2001 due to Vanessa Bryant being from another community.
