Following Kobe Bryant’s death in a helicopter crash two weeks ago, the focus has shifted the memorial that will be held on February 24th to honor him, his daughter, and the seven other people who died tragically on a hillside in Calabsas, California.
Former NBA player John Salley, however, is concerned about something else that could affect Kobe’s family.
Salley spoke about being concerned on the many people who will come after Bryant’s estate in search of money. He spoke about this on Vlad TV where he explained that there are dangers due to the number of victims and bystanders.
“I just hope that the whole money thing doesn’t get to be public,” Salley said. “I hope it’s all handled out, and that it’s handled out well.”
Salley believes there will be “sharks” coming out in pursuit of money. He also shockingly claimed that bystanders who witnessed the accident will try to get money as well.
“The guy who was on the bike is probably going to have a little something,” Salley said. “That he had to watch it and that his camera was filming it. It’s gonna be everybody, the sharks come out. I’m glad right now it’s not around. I’m glad it’s still hitting home.”

Salley had already won three NBA championships when Bryant joined the Los Angeles Lakers in 1999, and described how he saw him transform from a young rising star to become “the grand master.”
“Kobe would sit, put his headphones on and listen to music, sit in a corner. And I would go sit next to him,” he said. “I would tap him – he’d be like ‘oh,’ and he’d take out his headphones. I said, ‘you’re not listening to anything.'” When asked why, Salley said Bryant replied, “I want to hear what they say about me.”
