Kobe Bryant hasn't always been the perfect husband, but he's given his wife, Vanessa Bryant, some amazing bling throughout the years.
As the five-time NBA champion wades through the final season of his career, a dreadful one for the Lakers, his wife is in a nostalgic mood. Los Angeles lost its third straight game Wednesday, 91-81 to the Clippers, meaning the "Black Mamba" only has four games left in his career.
On Wednesday, Vanessa took to Instagram to share her husband's five rings, which she says he gave to her after each NBA title. Bryant won the NBA championship with the Lakers in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009 and 2010.

Los Angeles enters Thursday dead last in the Western Conference with a 16-62 overall mark, reaching the third straight season in which they set a new low for franchise losses.
The Lakers have games left against the Pelicans, Rockets, Thunder and Jazz before Kobe calls it a career.
It seems Kobe helped make up for his tumultuous past by allowing his wife to keep his bling.
In 2011, Vanessa discovered that her husband had affairs with multiple women, and filed for divorce. The two were eventually able to work things out. Part of the infidelities included a rape accusation against Kobe, which was eventually settled in civil court in 2003.
Though Vanessa was able to forgive her husband, her friend, singer Monica, recently revealed that it's the wife who makes all the decisions in the marriage now -- especially when it comes to her husband possibly coaching.
"You have to ask Vanessa," Monica told TMZ. "The head lady in charge has to make that decision because it puts you right back at games, it puts you right back in your seat, cheering, screaming [and] going crazy and it puts you back to having to make everything better after a loss."
Now, it appears Kobe and Vanessa will enjoy his final four games together before celebrating a new life in retirement.
