Bryant was asked on an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in 2018 whether he thought his daughter would want to play in the NBA. Without hesitation, Bryant responded.

“She does for sure. This kid, man... The best thing that happens is when we go out and fans come up to me, and she’ll be standing next to me they’ll be like ‘Hey you gotta have a boy. You and V [Vanessa Bryant] gotta have a boy. You gotta have someone to carry on your tradition, the legacy’ and she’ll be like ‘oy, I got this.’”

Bryant was 41. Gianna was 13.
