Report: Kobe Bryant Treasure Trove Found in Abandoned Storage Unit

Kobe Bryant left a treasure. Kobe Bryant’s death is hurting again these days, as his birthday seemed to rip open a fresh wound for many. Millions of people were devastated when they learned about his death on January 26th. He along with 8 others died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.

His birthday was celebrated by millions yesterday and just the thought of it was almost too much to bear. LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers have been trying to keep Kobe in their thoughts and minds in the NBA bubble. They will be wearing their Mamba limited time jerseys during the bubble.

But there was a shock when they found a storage unit full of Kobe gear. TMZ reported that they found:

“Here’s the breakdown of the score — 35 pairs of shoes, jerseys, Lakers practice gear, a Lakers all-access badge that says, “Mamba,” tax paperwork, and the pièce de résistance … a mink coat (we’re told there are pics of Kobe wearing the coat!).”

Apparently, the abandoned unit belonged to Derek Roche Roche was one of Kobe Bryant’s personal stylists. People are not really sure why he abandoned the unit. But at this point, do they really care at all?

The buyer purchased the unit for just $375, and his investment was multiplied by more than 30 times when he decided to sell the contents to “Storage Wars” veteran Rene Nezhoda for a whopping $13,000. Quite a turnaround, right?

The new owner bought the unit for only $375. His payment was more than 30 times as he decided to sell to “Storage Wars” veteran Rene Nezhoda for a shocking $13,000. That seems like quite the profit, no?

It has yet to be properly authenticated by experts. This means that that the real value could be much more. But interesting, it does seem like, based on the contents, it could be much more than the $13000 they paid originally.

This is a bit shocking and surprising considering what Kobe menat to so many people. LeBron gave his thoughts on Kobe’s death:

“I’m Not Ready but here I go. Man I sitting here trying to write something for this post but every time I try I begin crying again just thinking about you, niece Gigi and the friendship/bond/brotherhood we had! I literally just heard your voice Sunday morning before I left Philly to head back to LA. Didn’t think for one bit in a million years that would be the last conversation we’d have. WTF!! I’m heartbroken and devastated my brother!! Man I love you big bro.

“My heart goes to Vanessa and the kids. I promise you I’ll continue your legacy man! You mean so much to us all here especially #LakerNation and it’s my responsibility to put this shit on my back and keep it going!! Please give me the strength from the heavens above and watch over me! I got US here! There’s so much more I want to say but just can’t right now because I can’t get through it! Until we meet again my brother!! #Mamba4Life #Gigi4Life”
