In US news and current events today, Kobe & Gianna Bryant had the ultimate father-daughter relationship. The NBA star shared his love of the game with 13-year-old Gianna, who he also called GiGi and Mambacita. The latter was a play on his own nickname, Black Mamba.
Bryant coached Gigi’s AAU basketball team and they could be spotted breaking down the game together or watching his old team.
Gigi had plans to play at the University of Connecticut,
which has the country's most successful women’s basketball program. She dreamed of one day playing in the WNBA.
Kobe & his wife Vanessa had no sons, but it didn’t matter. In this interview with Jimmy Kimmel, the late NBA star explains why Gigi was proud to carry on her dad's legacy. Industry leaders praised Bryant’s unwavering support of women’s basketball.
Kobe and Gianna were mid-flight to a basketball game on Jan 26, 2020, when their helicopter crashed near Calabasas, California. All 8 passengers and the pilot were confirmed dead.
RIP Kobe and Gianna Bryant.

Imagine being a middle school basketballer, and your coach is your team mates dad, and he is Kobe.
Neither of them could live without each other, so they left together :(

It’s so strange to be heartbroken over the deaths of people I didn’t even know. Rest easy Kobe, young Gigi and the other 7 onboard. Even two weeks later, I’m struggling to accept this happened and is real
They had a bond so strong they even left this earth together along with their friends :(
Kobe has been doing his role as a supportive father to his daughter til death.
RIP MAMBA 🐍 24/8 forever 💛💜, RIP GIGI 🙏🏽
I STILL CANNOT BRING MYSELF TO BELIEVE THIS IS ALL TRUE !!!! 😭😭😭😭
ALL I CAN IMAGINE RIGHT NOW IS KOBE HOLDING HIS DAUGHTER GIANNA'S HAND, COMFORTING HER AND TELLING HER THAT HE LOVES HER AS THEY ARE BOTH CRYING AND AS THE HELICOPTER WAS GOING DOWN !!!! 😭😭😭😭

This is so sad man I’m a father of 2 girls and can’t even imagine!! RIP mamba
She was Kobe little twin. This is was horrible for all the families involved.
It is one thing to lose your husband but it is a lot more to lose your child that you raised and you made that child..... RIP I lived you guys so much because he was the man who motivated me into playing basketball
Weird , I’m a kobe fan not just for his NBA talents.. I’ve never shed a tear for anyone I’ve never met or even seen in person before, but the newS he died got me choke up.. R.I.P LEGEND

No, they're not heartless; they probably disliked the video because they hated hearing about the deaths of Kobe, Gigi, their 6 other friends, and the pilot, and FYI, there are now 117 dislikes.
She was so beautiful and talented Gianna
sometimes i wish the daughter survived to carry own in legacy. Continue resting in peace Kobe and Gigi

Some people have said that when they were found after the crash Kobe was found holding Gianna trying to protect her. 😭😭 Rest In Peace beautiful souls

What an awesome relationship they had! Kobe had such a great work ethic and he passed that on to his daughter. We need more people in this world like him! RIP!
Kobe and Gigi are the people that got me into basketball and i am going to keep on and like Gigi going to be the most successful woman basketball player ever
I’m so heartbroken. I don’t think I’ll get over it. I’ve been crying today whilst playing the song See You Again. It just hurts so much thinking about Kobe, her daughter, and all the others. Imagine Vanessa, when she finally comes to terms with her husband and daughter being gone, when she finally accepts, imagine her saying “Until I see you again my babies”. Every time I think about what she’s going through and what she’ll be going through, how I wish I can carry some of the weight in her heart. I know it wouldn’t do much but I just feel so sorry for them. I’m a big basketball fan. Now, I know I can’t watch another basketball game without feeling a little sadness.
RIP Kobe

The happiest father I've ever seen💗rest well💗
What a beautiful men He was very refined . Loving father .
So sad Rest In Peace legend of NBA
It's just tragic. All of it. I grew up 5 minutes from where the crash happened too so I know this area, I know that mountain. I've driven past it countless times. And it's unfortunately all too easy for me to picture it happening and the thought of a larger than life legend like Kobe, his precious daughter with a bright future ahead of her, and the other parents and children crashing like that just haunts me.
he was so proud of her 🥺🥺🥺
RIP ❤️ Kobe and Gianna Bryant
God always take good people fast. That's how I feel.
Miss you Kobe and gigi
Duck this man this is way too heartbroking of course she got everything. May god bless you my legend
Rest In Peace Kobe Bryant And His Daughter
This actually breaks my heart
Im going to cry in the corner
Beautiful video. I wish the families and loved ones of all victims a lot of strength and love. ♡
I'm from south Africa and I've been crying since the day the news was announced its just so so sad. Feels like I lost a dad and a sister 💔💔💔
Rip they crossed the tunnel to the light together
RIP both loving daddy and daughter! Hope you all have a happy life in the next world!
Miss u so much😢😢😢😭😭😭😭
Nowards😔My Heart broken💔 lovely & Adorable ,father & his daughter getting cry😭God Almighty bless their soul happy in heaven👐🌺
I miss Kobe Bryant and Gannia Bryant so much
She wanted to follow on daddy's foot steps,now heaven is brighter with 2 brighter stars
I cannot even imagine their last moments together 😢
l still can't believe one of our legend has left us...but going to say we had another legend in the making that was his daughter Gigi....Rip my two angels we love you both🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
no words can explain it.
While on my way to a Dr. appt. a song came on the radio Luther if I could dance with my father one more time, I thought I would loose it. I could visualize her and her father at the father daughter dance, tears, started to over flow , Lord I pray for crash victims it hurts really bad. The song says what the world needs now is love
Still breaks my heart
RIP Kobe😢
I just pray they didn't have time to see it coming. That their last moments weren't spent in fear, but happiness and anticipation for the future... A future they won't ever have, but rather a legacy that will live forever. As they do, in all our hearts.
I have never been a Basketball fan but the only thing I remember about Kobe is a commercial where he said "Questa è la mia casa", and that was lit.
Gigi. I am nicknamed Gigi, too. You know I'm having severe depression for days, amd its worst as of now. But. I promise you girl, with God, I got this, baby! 😭😭😭😭😭
