A number of Twitter users started the day off by sharing heartwarming videos of Gigi playing with her basketball star dad, Kobe. As many know, Gigi was hoping to carry on her father’s basketball legacy before the two sadly passed away in a helicopter crash back in January. It was well known that Gigi aka “Mambacita” wanted to be a University of Connecticut Husky, and her great skills would’ve definitely taken her there.
Twitter users also highlighted the young basketball star’s talent by acknowledging the WNBA’s latest move of making her and fellow Mamba Academy teammates Alyssa Altobelli and Payton Chester the first three honorary 2020 draft picks last month. Gigi was also remembered as the loving sister to Natalia, Bianka, and Capri and of course, her mother Vanessa’s little angel

“The biggest mistake we make in life is thinking we have time.”

With that being said, let’s all make the most of the time we have on this earth. Cherish every moment and never take anything for granted.
RIP Kobe & Gigi Bryant 🕊💕
