Kobe and Gianna Bryant's relationship was intertwined with their love for basketball. 🏀
"It's been fun!" he told ET at the time."We've been working together for a year and a half and they've improved tremendously in that time. I've got a group of great parents, a group of really, really intelligent, hardworking girls, and -- they're all seventh graders, they're all 12 years old -- but they've been playing so well!""I play 'em up now," he said.
"The best thing that happens is when I go out and fans will come up to me and say, 'You gotta have a boy, you and V [Vanessa Bryant]…you gotta have somebody to carry on your tradition and legacy, and she's like, 'I got this. No boy for that, I got this.'"Kobe talking about Gianna literally just broke my heart
