Along with the throwback pic of both of them having fun in the pool, La La praised her friend's strength and resilience, writing:

"On Kobe's birthday today, I celebrate you ...I know today is extra tough but your strength, love, & resilience is unmatched. I've never seen anything like it."

The New York Times best-selling author wrote, "Kobe and Gigi are smiling with you every step of the way. I got your back. NOW. FOREVER. & ALWAYS." She ended her caption with a birthday greeting for the late Kobe, letting Vanessa know she loves her as well.

Vanessa quickly took to the comment section to send her love to her girl writing "I love you" and some kissy-face emojis.

Nike commemorated the NBA star's posthumous birthday by releasing a unique ad, "Better|Mamba," featuring rap star Kendrick Lamar to launch their "Mamba Week."

The sweet post also garnered comments from well-known names like Khloe Kardashian, Adrian Balone, and DJ Nice who were not only full of admiration for the friendship but also praised La La.

Vanessa earlier shared a heart-melting tribute to her beloved husband of 19 years, whose death on January 26 left many deeply shaken. Bryant lost his life in a tragic helicopter crash in Calabasas, California, that also claimed the life of his 13-year-old daughter and seven others.

In honor of her 'baby', the 38-year old mother posted a video that included short clips of special moments of his life, along with a very touching message in which she spoke at length about how much she misses her husband.
