It is still undigestable news for the fans and sports lovers around the world, the loss of legendary basketball player, Kobe Bryant. He died in the deadly crash alongside his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, and seven other passengers.

The horrific incident happened in Calabasas, California and the authorities received a 911 call reporting the crash at 9:47 a.m.

His second child, Gianna, too had immense aspirations to play for WNBA when she grows up. In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel in 2018, Kobe said that she’s not only “hellbent” on playing for the University of Connecticut, but she “for sure” wanted to make it to the WNBA.

“The best thing that happens is we’ll go out, and fans will come up to me and she’ll be standing next to me,” the athlete told the host, 52, at the time. “And they’ll be like, ‘Hey, you gotta have a boy. You and Vanessa gotta have a boy to carry on the tradition, the legacy. And she is like, ‘Oy, I got this. You don’t need a boy for that, I got this.’ I’m like, ‘That’s right, you got this.’”

RIP Kobe and Gianna!

Brian McKnight Shares That Kobe Bryant Had All Talents To Become a Rapper!

The prominent singer and record producer Brian McKnight just released his latest album ‘EXODUS’ and during its promotion, he spoke about late basketball legend Kobe Bryant’s unbelievable music talent and he also said that he told Bryant to pursue hip hop.

It sounds sensible as Brian can envision people’s talent!

Well, with so much experience he can definitely bring the best out of one as he has worked with prominent pop icons like Mariah Carey, Boys II Men, and Celine Dion and so on.

When Brian was asked during his interview if Kobe Bryant would have been a good rapper he immediately said: ‘Oh for sure. For sure. But knowing Kobe the way that we had gotten to know him, anything that he puts his mind to that he’s really passionate about, he’s going to give it 1000 percent. He was completely locked in and he was doing his thing.’

Sadly all that Brian said couldn’t become true as he met with a tragic incident in January this year.

The accident took Kobe and his 13 yr old girl Gianna as well along with seven other people while they were on a helicopter for the girl’s junior team match.

“I’ve been reluctant to put my feelings into words. My brain refuses to accept that both Kobe and Gigi are gone. I can’t process both at the same time,” Bryant wrote in an Instagram caption alongside a video of Gianna playing basketball. “It’s like I’m trying to process Kobe being gone but my body refuses to accept my Gigi will never come back to me. It feels wrong.”

“I know what I’m feeling is normal. It’s part of the grieving process,” Bryant added. “I just wanted to share in case there’s anyone out there that’s experienced a loss like this. God, I wish they were here and this nightmare would be over. Praying for all of the victims of this horrible tragedy. Please continue to pray for all.”
