Traagiliselt hukkunud legendaarse korvpalluri Kobe Bryanti surm raputas kõiki, nii korvpalli andunud fänne kui ka neid, kes spordist kuigi palju ei tea. Vaid loetud päevad enne oma surma jagas Bryant nostalgilist pilti päevast, mil oma tulevase abikaasa ja laste emaga esimest korda kohtus, vahendab Mirror. "Just sellel päeval, 20 aastat tagasi, kohtusin ma oma parima sõbra ja kuninganna Vanessa Bryantiga. Otsustasin ta täna Disneylandi kohtingule viia, et vanakooli stiilis tähistada (nagu enne meie nelja printsessi sündi). Armastan sind, mu mamacita," avaldas sportlane oma kallimale jäägitut armastust.

"Mu tüdrukud ja mina tahame tänada miljoneid inimesi, kes on avaldanud toetust ja armastust sellel kohutaval ajal. Aitäh nende kõigi palvete eest. Oleme täielikult laastatud," alustas Bryant pikka ja sügavat hüvastijättu. View this post on Instagram My girls and I want to thank the millions of people who’ve shown support and love during this horrific time. Thank you for all the prayers. We definitely need them. We are completely devastated by the sudden loss of my adoring husband, Kobe — the amazing father of our children; and my beautiful, sweet Gianna — a loving, thoughtful, and wonderful daughter, and amazing sister to Natalia, Bianka, and Capri. We are also devastated for the families who lost their loved ones on Sunday, and we share in their grief intimately. There aren’t enough words to describe our pain right now. I take comfort in knowing that Kobe and Gigi both knew that they were so deeply loved. We were so incredibly blessed to have them in our lives. I wish they were here with us forever. They were our beautiful blessings taken from us too soon. I’m not sure what our lives hold beyond today, and it’s impossible to imagine life without them. But we wake up each day, trying to keep pushing because Kobe, and our baby girl, Gigi, are shining on us to light the way. Our love for them is endless — and that’s to say, immeasurable. I just wish I could hug them, kiss them and bless them. Have them here with us, forever. Thank you for sharing your joy, your grief and your support with us. We ask that you grant us the respect and privacy we will need to navigate this new reality. To honor our Team Mamba family, the Mamba Sports Foundation has set up the MambaOnThree Fund to help support the other families affected by this tragedy. To donate, please go to MambaOnThree.org. To further Kobe and Gianna’s legacy in youth sports, please visit MambaSportsFoundation.org. Thank you so much for lifting us up in your prayers, and for loving Kobe, Gigi, Natalia, Bianka, Capri and me. #Mamba #Mambacita #GirlsDad #DaddysGirls #Family ❤️ A post shared by Vanessa Bryant ????
