Anyone's personal feelings toward Kobe aside, but if his stuff sells at auction, it is total crap.

I know I'd feel pretty violated if anyone (Mom included) decided to get rid of my old football/baseball jerseys, or my letter jacket without my consent. I'm sure even most hardened pros have sentimental attachments to these types of items.

lawrence taylor gave his kid his super bowl ring, and the kid subsequently sold it at auction. lawrence said 'whatever' he is free to do with it what he wants.
