Vanessa Bryant has had to endure the pain of losing Kobe and Gianna Bryant for over a year, and while she has remained strong publicly it is clear from her posts on social media that she is still mourning their loss.
Their tragic passing sometimes still does not feel real, and for most it will be a reality that they can never accept. Despite Bryant no longer being here, his presence and influence is as strong as ever, especially on the current Los Angeles Lakers team that is favored to win the 2021 NBA championship.
Bryant’s basketball résumé speaks for itself and it was a no-brainer that he would be inducted into the Hall of Fame shortly after he retired.
