Championship rings Kobe gifted to parents up for auction

A pair of Los Angeles Lakers championship rings Kobe Bryant gifted to his parents after the 2000 Finals are being auctioned off.

The 14-karat gold rings, which are being sold by Goldin Auctions, contain 40 diamonds apiece and read "Lakers" and "World Champions" on either side of the face. They're the same as the rings given to Lakers players, though Pamela Bryant's was made in a smaller size.

The rings were previously put up for sale on Goldin in 2013 along with several other pieces of Kobe memorabilia, co-signed to the company by Pamela. Kobe sued Goldin to try to stop the sale, but later reached a deal with the company that allowed for the purchase of six items.

Bidding on Pamela's ring opens at $35,000, while Joe Bryant's ring opens at $20,000.
