In the caption, Vanessa wrote:
"My baby ❤️Gigi ❤️?#mambacita"
Kobe has previously discussed Gianna being the one to carry on his legacy for the family in the future.
He recently mentioned that she intends to play basketball for Geno Auriemma at UConn, as noted by Courant. The NBA star has been excited and proud of her as she gradually grows into her person.
It was reported by PEOPLE that Kobe's family welcomed their fourth girl, Capri Kobe Bryant, in January.
Nonetheless, that isn't what is most important to Kobe. While speaking to SLAM for their cover story, Kobe cleared the air that he wishes to achieve more off the court than on it.
He hopes to accumulate more wealth and awards than he did hooping, Slam disclosed.
His goal is to leave behind a legacy that motivates youngsters to dare to dream and accomplish. Hence, the absence of many basketball keepsakes in his office.
The NBA Legend went on to say:
“A friend asked me the other day, ‘Does it bother you that when Bianka [his 30-month-old daughter] grows up she will know you as a creator and producer and not a basketball player?’”
He continued saying:
“I thought about it for a bit and said, Yeah, that’s true. She won’t know that part of my life, but that doesn’t bother me at all. In fact, it excites me.”
