Fans are talking as they remember how Gigi Bryant was listening intently to what her dad, Kobe Bryant, said
We were and are always perplexed by the sudden demise of NBA and Los Angeles Lakers icon Kobe Bryant. After learning of the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant and eight other people, including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna “Gigi” Bryant, the world is still in a trance.
The father-daughter pair was spotted watching the Atlanta Hawks vs. Brooklyn Nets game on December 21 at Barclays Center as Kobe was teaching Gigi the rules of the game.
Bryant, one of the most endearing athletes of all time, has had a significant impact on a lot of NBA players right now, many of whom were motivated by him as youngsters.
Whom did Kobe Bryant inspire other than his daughter Gigi?
Kyrie Irving, who got along well with Bryant personally, departed Madison Square Garden before the Nets’ game against the New York Knicks for the same reason. During the Houston Rockets’ game against the Denver Nuggets, Tyson Chandler, a former teammate of Kobe’s, broke down in tears on the bench.
In front of the media before the LA Clippers’ game, coach Doc Rivers grieved. In honour of the legendary number sported by the late legend, the San Antonio Spurs and the Toronto Raptors each surrendered a 24-second shot clock violation. The intensity of feelings merely reflects the amount of people Kobe Bryant impacted, and tributes to him are flooding social media from all around the world.
Gianna “GiGi” Bryant was a well-known figure on her own. Sports enthusiasts also observed that Gianna’s perseverance and even some of her skill sets, such as her fadeaway and offensive, were similar to those of her father. Her father and admirers affectionately called her “Mambacita,” a pun on Kobe’s basketball nickname “Black Mamba.”
