Vanessa Bryant wishes Kobe and Gigi were alive to see Lakers win
LA Lakers won the NBA championship on Sunday for the first time in a decade, and Vanessa Bryant wishes her late husband, Kobe Bryant, and daughter Gigi were alive to see it.
Sharing a
picture of Kobe and Lakers General Manager Rob Pelinka, Vanessa said: “Congratulations
Uncle P! Congratulations @lakers Kobe was right, RP! ‘Stay the course –
blockout the noise’,” she wrote.
“Go Lakers!
Wish Kobe and Gigi were here to see this.”
The last time
the Lakers won the NBA championship was in 2010 when Kobe was still part of the
team.
The Lakers
defeated Miami Heat 106-93 in game six of the NBA finals on Sunday to win their
17th title.
Pau Gasol,
Kobe’s former teammate, also honoured the Lakers legend Kobe following the win.
“This one is
for you brother, for you Gianna, for Vanessa, for Natalia, for Bianka and for
Capri,” Gasol said on Twitter.
Kobe and his
daughter Gianna died in January along with seven other people who were aboard a
helicopter that crashed in California.
