Kobe's $21,000 Bubbly Bill

Kobe BryantKobe Bryant is known for being a tough competitor -- in the club?!

Basketballin' Bryant and his wife, Vanessa, were at Friday night's grand opening of BLUSH Boutique Nightclub at the Wynn in Las Vegas, when he saw poker player Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari kick in for two bottles of $1,400 Cristal champagne. According to sources inside the club, Kobe wasn't about to be shown up by some puny little card player -- and kicked in for five bottles. Antonio, who's used to upping the ante, then switched his order to ten! Go big or go home!

Kobe ended the competition when he purchased an astounding 15 bottles -- and then left the club! Just to put Bryant's baller status into perspective -- Kobe's $21,000 bill still doesn't cover what NBA and gambling legend Charles Barkley drops on one hand of blackjack!

16. hey # 5, why boycott wines? i collect expensive wines they're a great way to have fun with dinners and ect. why not boycott red bull? $3.50 for a 6 oz can is crazy. i think it would be better to boycott the club where people pay $1,500 for a $300 bottle. and then walk away like it is a way to show one's man hood! i just think you have to consider the source on this one.

17. #4, and #7 and the rest of the haters that are hating on the best basketball player ever. Let me give you piece of advice get a LIFE. For all of you who are supposed to be adults your comments are immature and petty. It seems to me that you are hating on this man because he has money, he's gorgeous and he is doing something with his life. While you losers are sitting back complaining that your life isn't fair. Let me give you a tip: GO TO THERAPY YOU NEED IT!!! I LOVE YOU KOBE!!!!

22. quit hating on kobe. true spending that kind of jack on alcohol to impress someone is very sad. not on;y kobe but there are many fortunate people with jack who should think about the less lucky. i could be wrong, i dont and i dont think anyone knows where his jack goes. we are the greatest country in the world, why do we have starving families?

26. Well for one its his money- I am sure you would not want some one telling you how to spend your cash. The fact is Kobe does give money and time to different charaties- just because it does not make the front pages doesnt mean a thing. As for Him going to prison if BB was not "invented"- I take it you dont know much about his family background. LOL Kobe's parents are far from being "poor"- he is not from what people consider to be the "hood".

27. #24. GIVE ME A GOOD REASON TO SEND YOU AN APPLICATION TOO. I RATHER LOvE A MAN UNLIKE YOURSELF WHO MIGHT NOT LIKE MEN AT ALL. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU ARE A MAN HATER I GUESS YOU CANNOT FIND ONE SO YOU DECIDE TO SEND YOUR STUPID COMMENTS THAT DO NOT MAKE SENSE AT ALL. IF I AM GETTING PAID I WILL MAKE SURE HE WILL SEND SOME MONEY TO YOU. I GUESS HE WILL MAKE AN EXCEPTION FOR THIS TYPE OF CHARITY CASE!!

LOL..I wonder.. what would you be doing if you had a life ? What a dumb comment . What would people be doing if the car had never been invented ? What would people be doing if the television has never been invented .

Seems like another uneducated comment from some small town person who's broke.

29. This is why people think that professional athletes are dumb as rocks - rich, maybe, but still dumb as rocks. Wonder if he gives any money to charities?

30. You're hating on Kobe but have you stop to think about the billions that our government is wasting each and everyday as our United States Military are in fighting a war that they probably won't win. Use this time and energy to hate on something important like bringing our soldiers home. Get involved in something that matters.
