At school she offered the boy's basketball coaches to help give the boys' basketball team some pointers, like the triangle offense. She loved helping and teaching other people things. Gigi was confident but not in an arrogant way. She loved to swim, dance, do cartwheels and do jumps into our swimming pool. She was great at gymnastics, soccer, softball, dance, and basketball. She had Kobe's ability to listen to a song and have all the lyrics memorized after listening to the song a couple of times it was their secret talent. Kobe and Gianna naturally gravitated towards each other. She had my fire, my personality and sarcasm, and she was tender and loving on the inside. Her smile took up her entire face, like mine. Gigi was very competitive like her daddy, but she had a sweet grace about her. She also loved watching Disney movies with her sisters. She loved watching cooking shows and "Cupcake Wars" with me, and she loved watching "Survivor" and "NBA on TNT" with her daddy. She made the best chocolate chip cookies.
Kobe's birthday cake looked like it was professionally decorated. Last August she made a beautiful birthday cake for her daddy, and it had fondant and looked like it had blue agate crystals.
She loved putting a smile on everyone's face. She was daddy's girl, but I know she loved her mama, and she would always show me and tell me that she loved me.
You were asleep and I didn't want to wake you." She knew how much her morning and evening kisses meant to me, and she was so thoughtful to remember to kiss me every day. I text and say, "No kiss?" And Gianna would reply with, "Mama, I kissed you. There were a few occasions where I was absolutely tired from being up with Bianka and Capri, and i thought she had left to school without saying goodbye. She was very thoughtful and always kissed me good night and kissed me good morning. Gianna Bryant is an amazingly sweet and gentle soul.
I'd like to talk about both Kobe and Gigi, but I'll start with my baby girl first. The outpouring of love and support that my family has felt from around the world has been so uplifting. Love you too.įirst I'd like to thank everyone for coming today. Read the full transcript of her speech below.
