NBA legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna, lost their lives nearly two-and-a-half years ago in tragic helicopter crash. The crash took the lives of seven other passengers. It was a news that washed over the league with disbelieve and heart breaks.
On the day of Gianna’s birthday, Vanessa took to Instagram and posted a one minute video of black and white sketches overlayed with black texts on the images. In the video, there is a feminine voice, presumably Vanessa’s, that reads the text in the video. The video ends with,’ every time someone plays her hardest, I know thats you on the court. Love you always, Basketball’. Vanessa captioned the post, ”Love you always! Happy Birthday, Gianna. #Mambacita”.
Nike too has extended its gratitude to the legend and her daughter by launching an exclusive pair of shoes. The Kobe 6 Protro ‘Mambacita Sweet 16 shoes are a symbol that honors both Kobe and Gianna’s legacy. The shoes will first be launched to exclusive members on May 1st in honor of her birthday.
In a previous interview with People, Vanessa Bryant had mentioned her family helps her to keep going. She said, “I guess the best way to describe it is that Kobe and Gigi motivate me to keep going. They inspire me to try harder and be better every day. Their love is unconditional and they motivate me in so many different ways.” Vanessa now stays with her three daughters.
The video is truly tough to watch, but beautiful and poignant at the same time. One can feel the feelings that a mother is trying to put forth. Our hearts go out to Vanessa and the Bryant family on what has to be a very difficult day.
