Kobe Bryant/Antonio Esfandiari at the Wynn
 

"Kobe 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!"

A whole $21,000? I wonder how Kobe will be able to pay his mistresses to STFU now.

Re: Kobe Bryant/Antonio Esfandiari at the Wynn

Re: Kobe Bryant/Antonio Esfandiari at the Wynn
 

Ummm, Kobe prob makes more in one game than Antonio makes in a year (excluding all endorsements)

Re: Kobe Bryant/Antonio Esfandiari at the Wynn
 

Oh my, who to believe!?

Re: Kobe Bryant/Antonio Esfandiari at the Wynn
 

This really sucks for Antonio's friend if he did indeed out-buy Kobe. If if spent that much of champagne, I want people to know aabout it.

Re: Kobe Bryant/Antonio Esfandiari at the Wynn
 

I like the part where kobe rapes antonio's friend

Re: Kobe Bryant/Antonio Esfandiari at the Wynn
 

tmz got it wrong obv

Re: Kobe Bryant/Antonio Esfandiari at the Wynn
 

How can I possibly go on in life if I don't know who really 'won' this exciting competition.
The conflicting reports leave me in a position where I no longer can be certain of which one is more ballin' and who had the Rocky theme-song played for them the loudest.

Re: Kobe Bryant/Antonio Esfandiari at the Wynn
 

I wonder how much kobe was paid to be there. He might have come out on top.

Re: Kobe Bryant/Antonio Esfandiari at the Wynn
 

How many times can you say in your life that out balla'd Kobe Bryant.

lol

so fun

Re: Kobe Bryant/Antonio Esfandiari at the Wynn
 

this is one of the situations thats completely stupid, its not baller, just plain dumb..what does it prove to spend that much on liquor that your for sure not gonna be able to drink all of? everybody knows who they both are and that they both have money, especially kobe because his earning are reported on very regularly, all it shows to me is that he still hasn't gotten a grasp of the fact that he doesn't have to act like a moron wherever he goes to be admired and revered

a little something i call the "i want to be michael jordan but i'll never get there" effect

Re: Kobe Bryant/Antonio Esfandiari at the Wynn
 

i just got back into town, My friend was at the club, and the story is Kobe bought everyone in the club a a glass of champaigne. Ill get more details when i can.

ps barron davis was there also.

Re: Kobe Bryant/Antonio Esfandiari at the Wynn
 

so if Antonio is in a club that I own then I should just get one of my employees all dressed-up in a super-ballin outfit and make it look like they are buying all these bottles of champagne because then Antonio will feel obliged/forced to one-up this high-roller.

Sounds like instant profit to me.

Re: Kobe Bryant/Antonio Esfandiari at the Wynn
 

i mean seriously kobe bryant is one of the biggest stars in the world.

antonio is barely above nobody status.

kobe could bankrupt him in a week.

Re: Kobe Bryant/Antonio Esfandiari at the Wynn
 

"Most of us were standing on top of the cushions, jumping out of control, and screaming at the top of our lungs."

This doesnt sound balla at all. I picture like teenage girls yelling for justin timberlake.

Re: Kobe Bryant/Antonio Esfandiari at the Wynn
 

Spending $20K on champagne when you're bringing in 8 figures a year doesn't strike me as all that balla.

plz explain how that is NOT balla?

Re: Kobe Bryant/Antonio Esfandiari at the Wynn
 

man who is more baller- a greaseball persian queer who hangs out with guys nicknamed "jesus" and "the unabomber", or a NBA superstar who is a household name all over the planet. this is too close to call, i'm gonna say it's a tie

Re: Kobe Bryant/Antonio Esfandiari at the Wynn
 

Guys I have a close source who says Antonio's crew indeed did out buy Kobe for champagne. However it dosnt end there. Kobe did in fact buy 15 bottles before he left (however Antonio's crew baught 22 or something, to beat him). None were left for Kobe to buy, so he left the club.

What Antonio's blog leaves out is Kobe cam back. He came back w/ a check for 15.8million and bought the club.

Do you know if Teri Hatcher was with him too? My friend told me that they are a couple, but I doubt it.


PS. Kobe owns. F Antonio.

Since when does cristal cost 1400? I thought even in clubs it was about 500?

Also don't they know they're supposed to be boycotting cristal because they're racist?

Kobe (8 figures) spending $20K is like a working stiff (5 figures) spending $20. If buying your buddy a McDonalds dinner is balla, I apologize and retract. Otherwise, I'm not that impressed.
