Moments from Kobe and Gianna Bryant’s Memorial

Late NBA Star, Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna ‘s memorial took place today at the Staple Centre, Los Angeles.

In emotional remarks, Vanessa Bryant recalled their 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, as someone who always made sure to kiss her good night and good morning, someone who was “sunshine” and “one of my very best friends.” “Gianna Bryant is an amazing sweet and gentle soul,” Vanessa Bryant said. Vanessa cried as she noted that she’d never be able to teach her daughter how to drive, or walk down the aisle at her wedding, or dance with her daddy. And, she predicted, Gianna “would have become the best player in the WNBA” and “would have changed women’s sports.”

Michael Jordan, Kim Kardashian, Jlo, Kanye West were among the celebrities that graced the event.
