Kobe Bryant is making $21.2 million from the L.A. Lakers this season and about an additional $16 million from endorsements, but apparently it's not enough. The Laker recently re-launched his website, KB24.com and the folks at BlackWeb2.0 let us know that with it comes a fee to join. It'll cost a fan $49.99 to subscribe to the website. But what do you get?
- An exclusive KB24 T-Shirt
- Access to exclusive content including videos, audio and photos
- Members-only access to exclusive contests.
- Access to exclusive KB24 events
- Access to member only message boards, blogs, social network
- Exclusive access to KB24 events (chat/blogs/live video/listening party, meet & greets etc).
- Much More.
If you don't sign up, you'll still be able to access some news, videos and photos, but if you want to access the community or the contests, you'll have to put up some cash. So is it worth it?

nah, not worth it. #1 i'm not a fan. #2 why should fans have to pay to be a fan? that's total BS, sorry. I wouldn't pay for something like that, even for celebs I actually am a fan of.

if you are a big enough fan its worth it, if you count how much stuff you get for joining its not that bad...but i'm guessing the access to events doesn't mean you get in for free...

I am a huge Kobe fan and I personally think its ridiculous. I totally agree, why should you pay to be a fan, he should feel honored that he has so many fans. Usually I am there with him, but this is quite dis-appointing. I still think he is Mr. Basketball, but there are children who love this basketball player and where would they get the funds. He needs to re-think this one.

That is what happens when money makes your head bigger than what it already is!! As our economy declines I honestly don't understand how a man that has so much can ask for money from his fans? How appreciative!!

I guess he is still paying his exorbitant legal fees for that rape charge; and oh yeah, that hunker of a ring he had to buy his wife for her forgiveness set him back a pretty penny.

I guess it takes a lot of money to keep a ego running as big as his. I'm sure his fans have already paid enough, but this is just really fu-ked up. I wouldn't pay a penny to see anything dealing with him, can't stand the man.
