Kobe Bryant’s daughter Bianka, who is only 7 years old, recently hit the court with none other than WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu. And get this – Sabrina was mentored by the late Lakers legend himself, Kobe Bryant.
It’s heartwarming to see the next generation of basketball talent coming together like this. Bianka may only be a little girl, but she’s already showing off some impressive skills on the court. And who is better to learn from than Sabrina, who has been making waves in the WNBA with her incredible talent and work ethic?
It’s clear that Kobe’s influence on the game of basketball will continue to live on through players like Sabrina and moments like this, where a young player like Bianka gets the chance to learn from the best. This just goes to show that the love for the game runs deep in the Bryant family and will undoubtedly be passed down through the generations.
The New York Liberty player, who spent time with Vanessa Bryant and her two youngest children over the weekend, was seen shooting hoops with the seven-year-old.
‘Had a fun time in NYC w/my babies this weekend,’ Vanessa captioned an Instagram post Monday. ‘So glad we got to see “Beana” @sabrina_i.’
The WNBA star commented, ‘Shooting definitely runs in the family.’
In the clip, the athlete was seen chatting to the youngster while she dribbled the ball and put up a few shots at an indoor court.
Ionescu, who was mentored by the five-time NBA champion, eulogized him at his celebration of life ceremony in February 2020.
‘”You have too much to give to stay silent.” That’s what he said. That’s what he believed. That’s what he lived. Through Gigi, through me, through his investment in women’s basketball. That was his next great act, a girl dad,’ Ionescu said during her speech.
She went on, ‘Today may feel like darkness. He was, in so many ways, a sun beaming, radiating, fixed in the sky. I ask each of you, every girl dad, every human here with a voice, a platform and a heart to not let this sun set.’
So here’s to Bianka, Sabrina, and the legacy of Kobe Bryant!
