The sports world is mourning Kobe Bryant as well as his 13-year-old daugher Gianna, who were among the nine victims of a helicopter crash in Calabasas. The two are survived by Kobe’s wife Vanessa, as well as their three other daughters.
As people pay their respects to Kobe and GiGi, a 2018 clip from Jimmy Kimmel Live! is recirculating on the internet. Kobe, who coached GiGi's team in his retirement and was frequently spotted with her at WNBA games, told Kimmel that she would carry on his basketball legacy.
GiGi, Kobe’s second eldest daughter, had dreams of playing in the WNBA, and her highlights were frequently seen on websites that followed youth basketball. Her loss is a tragedy, and our thoughts are with the Bryant family on this difficult day.
