Kobe and Vanessa Bryant’s house may not be squeaky clean.
NBA housecleaning usually happens after the playoffs, but not for Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa Bryant. Their former housekeeper, 48-year-old Maria Jimenez, has sued them, claiming they harassed and humiliated her and failed to provide the health insurance they’d promised her. While everyone thinks of Vanessa as a victim of infidelity, Jimenez paints a different, stinkier picture. She alleges that Vanessa verbally abused and demeaned her, once ordering her to “put her hand in a bag of dog feces to retrieve the price tag for [a] blouse.” (Note: We’re left to wonder if this is what Kobe meant when he told Marc Ecko that he doesn’t like dog shit.)
Legal proceedings will determine if any of this is true or just a woman’s attempt to get paid to shut up, but it wouldn’t be the first time an athlete had a crazy wife. With this mess in mind, Complex presents the six craziest athlete wives. And for anyone who’s about to go ape shit when they don’t see Craig Hodges’s wife Carlita (doused him with gasoline and threw lit matches at him) or Nick Harper’s wife Daniell (attacked him with a knife), we’re talking non-domestic abuse crazy. We’ve learned you can’t throw punch lines at crazy violent women without getting arrested…

Well folks, we're in the heat of the NBA finals, and while all the sports reporters are analyzing why the Celtics are sonning the Lakers and what can be done to even up the series (YAWN), we'd like to delve into more important topics, like which squad pulls the badder chicks.
With the series heading back to L.A, the players’ significant others will be on full display to the Hollywood shutterbugs. And we must admit, the two teams stack up pretty well against each other on the female front. We decided to take a look at the confirmed wives and girlfriends of players like Kobe Bryant, Derek Fischer, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to see who’s really winning off the court. See the wifeys and vote on the winning team after the jump.

With a 124-101 thrashing of the Sacramento Kings Tuesday in their final regular season game, Kobe Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers (57-25) secured the number-one seed in the NBA's Western Conference Playoffs. A complete asshole might make a reference to Bryant's 2003 sexual assault charge and say he's back on top (but only a complete asshole). After the jump, we recount the saga of Kobe’s long, hard road back from the bottom.

The nostalgic sports-enthused cats over at No Mas hooked back up with Puma for an L.A version of their Lottery First Rounds. The shoe which garners inspiration from past NBA drafts that bred both big-time ballers and disappointing busts will be released in limited qualities. Magic-bound heads can get first crack when the shoes drop at Undefeated's Las Vegas location on February 13.
