Sanaa Lathan Squashes Kobe Bryant Rumors, Says She’s Not His Type
Well, well, well…in the wake of the announcement of Kobe Bryant’s divorce, actress Sanaa Lathan has been receiving some unwelcome press. It seems like the notorious tabloid the New York Daily News found a source who indicated that Kobe and Sanaa were getting a little cozy at last week’s Watch The Throne concert in Los Angeles.
The NY Post reports:
Kobe Bryant’s impending divorce may come as good news to Sanaa Lathan. A source who attended Jay-Z and Kanye West ’s Watch the Throne concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday tells us that the luscious-lipped “Love & Basketball” actress was flirting seductively with the Lakers guard during the show.
“She touched his face, and she was shaking her a– in front of him to the music,” says the insider.
Bryant’s spokesman, Michael Sitrick, says Bryant and Lathan were “both at the concert,” but he adds: “There was no flirting. There’s nothing there.”
Despite news that Kobe looked “miserable” the whole time, the source claims the two were sharing a few intimate moments and Sanaa was putting the moves on KB. In light of this, however, Lathan brushed the rumors aside.
And just in case folks STILL had any doubts about her possibly seeing Mr. Bryant, Sanaa had this little tidbit: She’s not his type.
(I think she typed that one under a tree. #Shade).
Who do you think the gossip rags will try to link Kobe to next?

@Pseudonym: That lyric means her face is bleached but the rest of her body isn't.
Kobe this emotional gigolo can be taken by any Kim K or Vanessa of this world!
Kobe Bryant has accomplished more than most people will ever accomplish in their lifetime.The man is worth 400 million even if Vannesa gets half he still has more money than he can spend in a lifetime. What people fail to understand is that black women are not better than any other race of women. God made all women equal.If a black man dates outside is race,then he is entitled to do that. People make it seem like black men stoop in quality when they date outside their race. Black women are not God’s gift to men,women in general are God’s gift to men.
I agree
No one is going to burn in hell for not dating a non AAW…
So warririorspirit what do women get in this deal? If we are God’s gift to men, what is the upside to women as fellow human beings?
@Black Mamba
Stop embarassing black women.

“Kobe Bryant has accomplished more than most people will ever accomplish in their lifetime”
I’m a basketball fan and believe Kobe is an awesome player and deserves to be compensated for his talents, but being exceptional in one skill doesn’t equate to accomplishing more than others. If we follow your logic, then Kobe is a better person than you (you really believe that?). My yearly salary falls slightly bellow six figures while Kobe’s yearly salary falls in the 8 figure range but him and I are as equally good at our jobs. I would say I’m more accomplished than him since I was born with 0 talents and had to work twice as hard.
I’m not attacking you, I’m making a point I’ve made on other forums. Americans are idolized for how much money they make and not who they are as people. This is the unspoken beast capitalism creates.
I agree that black men should date whoever they wish but a statistic that you’ll rarely see because it’s conveniently never discussed is that over 80% of wealthy black men have black wives.
Kobe is getting OLD!!! He berra gets it together. He ain’t the youngin that used to make women’s heart flatter before whatever his wife’s name came around.
Black American women have the worst dating pool in the history of humanity lol
… or that’s at least what articles like these make it seem like
If they continue to restrict themselves, then yes they do. Black women are 8% of the US population and out of that 8%, maybe 4% are single and able to be in relationships. There are more than 8% of men (Asian, black (non-American), and white) that they could date at any point in time.
@TheBestAnon
Those numbers intrique me.
Sanaa doesn’t need or want Kobe Bryant; Kobe Bryant doesn’t need or want Sanaa Lathan. They both have other prospective partners in mind, that’s for sure. This is just some tabloid stirring the pot. Sanaa’s response on Twitter was priceless (and accurate). Extra points to her.
this is going to sound ig’nant but I had no idea she was black. thought she was latina or something.
You are aware that you can be Black and Latina at the same time, right? Being Latina is not a “race” – it’s more a of an ethnic identity (language, geographic location, and culture). Just like you can be white and be Latina.
Sanna Lathan is 95% of the male population’s type. the other 5% is asexual or gay. Enough with the deflections lol
I am assuming that you are a women,and being that you are a woman making such a broad,general,horrendous statement only show your ignorance about men.If you really believe that Sanaa Lathan is 95% of every man’s type,then you clearly missed the boat when it comes to understanding what we like in women.
Her response was priceless.
*yawn* are we on this interracial dating thing again?
This is truly a case of what goes around comes around! Remember when Kobe threw Shaq under the bus when he got caught sleeping with the hotel’s front desk girl? So I ain’t mad at Sanaa for throwing a lil’ shade Kobe’s way. The real beeyotch in this equation? KARMA! Do not eff with her!
Wait. What happened to the White guy she was dating? Didn’t he dump his Black wife and kids to shack up with Sanaa?
But I guess we know her type. Men with relationship status of complicated.
@TheBestAnonEver, Part 2 Based on your typing I highly doubt that you passed any type of computer classes.

@ warriorspirit….Are you Kobe??? Are you internet trolling under an assumed name to defend your character??? Because you are very defensive and angry over a man you don’t know personally…your worst than Beyonce stans. If you have so many negative things to say about black women why are you on this website? Did some black woman break your heart and now you want to blame an entire race of women for the actions of one? Did black girls tease you when you were younger because maybe your not very attractive? You say Black women are bitter but you sound like the pot calling the kettle black! hustle on over to snowbunnie .com or maybe a neo nazi website where you sentiments about black women will be better appreciated. I hope you can overcome your disdain of black women and have nice life because being bitter is not attractive.
First of all I don’t have anything against black women in general. Secondly I date black women,but not bitter,racist stick to your on kind type black women.I was never teased by black women growing up they actually thought I was handsome. I have nothing to hide behind if you wanted to know what I look like all you had to do was ask. My Facebook name is Steve A. Griffin Im not hard to find.
Black women constantly talking about how non-black men (white) love them. STOP IT! A man will have SEX with any attractive woman. But only 1 in 300 married white men have a black wife while 87% of brothers are married to a sister. Black women fantasizng about Ryan Gosling and Paul Walker. Men who would NEVER marry a sister. Sad.
So 87% out of all the black men in this country are married? 87% out of 100% of black men in the US of A are married? Clutch posted a recent article stating that 70% of all black men are unmarried. These numbers don’t add up.
@yep
“Clutch posted a recent article stating that 70% of all black men are unmarried”
I could put on my “black erkel” nerd hat on and blow Clutch’s statistics out of the water because their sampling is biased beyond belief. In geek talk, Clutch does not take into account independent and dependent variables in most of their studies.
In plain English, this means If I take all black men between the ages of 18 and 25 from certain socioeconomic demographics then I could say that 70% of black men have never been married. But wouldn’t that be a limited sample?
@sad good point. Your number is accurate. Most black men are with and prefer black women.
I thought it was hilarious. She was just being slick & gave a sarcastic reason as to why she would never be linked to him.
I do think she was throwing all the wrong shade, everyone jumps to conclusions as to what Kobe likes, excluding that he did date someone darker than Sanaa herself years ago. Still funny though.
Should I also be surprised at the type of posters this article also attracted?
@esmagnifique (So we are all humans now?) This question alone is ignorant and baffling to see that some people still don’t understand words and phrases. That question that you responded with is actually a statement insinuating that I painted a picture with my responses that black women are not human. What animal known to mankind is bitter and racist? I date Black women,but I just don’t date narcissistic,bitter,racist,black women. It is very easy to debate women,because you guys get so emotional to the point that you can’t think straight or rational.
So Kobe had a Black girlfriend in High School and dated Brandy afterwards and married a Latina–yeah he does have a type WoC, and for white man-chasing Sanaa to even go there is stunning but that’s the nuttiness of some Black women.
Sanaa tried to get at Kobe and he showed her zero love… Which is why she threw a completely unnecessary jab at Kobe on twitter by saying she is not his type cause she’s black…. When she made herself available to him and he didn’t want her she told herself he didn’t want her cause she is black in order to keep her confidence… But is obvious that it bothered her that he didn’t want her cause she has no reason to try and clown Kobe he did nothing to her…. Girls are so emotional!
This was a really classy way of saying, you know he don’t like black girls.
