Vanessa Bryant sent a touching tribute to her 16-year-old daughter Gianna on her birthday.
The homage was created in collaboration with Nike and was narrated by Vanessa herself in a 60-second short fashioned after Kobe Bryant's Oscar-winning animated film Dear Basketball.
“From the first time you imagined winning a WNBA Championship, I knew one thing was real. You were special,” Vanessa says in the video. “You came from greatness, but it was never about what you inherited. It was about what you gave to others. When someone stands up for gender equality, I see you fighting alongside of them.”
She also posted a series of slides on Instagram, and Gianna’s older sister Natalia also shared a birthday message, along with a photo of them when they were younger. “Happy sweet sixteen my dearest gigi,” she wrote. “I love you to the moon and back forever & alway.”
