Christyn's Excellent LA Adventure

Phee watching

I have a feeling that Kobe is going to be around the UConn program an awful lot over the next 10 years.

 

[oldude]

Was Gianna also watching?

 

[UConnCat]

Liv there too!

Uh oh, is UConn gonna get dinged with recruiting violations again? I hope no one wearing Orange sees these pics!

Wow, that’s great. School was in. You know Liv and Christyn were dry sponges, soaking up everything Kobe was teaching/showing them. No doubt in addition to the physical approach to the game, he also touched on the mental approach they need to adopt to be successful.

Who better to learn “Momba mentality” from than the Momba himself? Getting that instruction from Kobe is different than getting it from Geno. Same lessons, different instructor.

Speaking of Liv, did you notice that she appears to be almost as tall as Kobe in one picture? I understand that you have to make adjustments for camera angles. Kobe is listed at 6’6”.

Someone asked recently if Liv was growing. Well from that camera angle, it sure looks like she is. Looking at the group picture, they’re standing next to each other. Kobe appears to have her by no more than an inch. If you include her hair bun, she’s got him.

Perhaps they watched some video together and Kobi was as brutal with his critique as he was with Lou? One can hope.

To those questioning if Liv is working out or not

Using the G-stick, she is up to about the bottom of Christyn's nose, the bottom of Phee's chin, and at least 5" short of Liv's chin. Liv is 6'5" or maybe 6'6".

Can Geno take Kobe with him on recruiting trips? Lol

How about if Geno wears a T-shirt with a pic of Kobe wearing a UConn T-shirt?

Tough love (or honest critique) never hurt anyone.

Oh don’t do that...

We’re Doomed!

Did not see it is a slide show (2 pics)

Like this one

Dad, Come on. Stop hogging all the fun.

Maybe if we hire him as an assistant coach.

Maybe if we hire him as an assistant coach.

Ah, an opening to repeat my theory (stated elsewhere ) that Kobe is the best possibility to ultimately replace Geno and keep UConn at the level of UConn. Especially since Gianna would come to sweeten the pot for Kobe. I know he has denied any interest in coaching but that is NBA, MCBB but the chance to coach his daughter and perpetuate a program that he greatly admires deserves at least a look. And Kobe will have had time to exhaust his interests outside of BB.

We're "doomed" because I think Bryant's daughter Gianna is going to end up at UConn?

If I'm not mistaken McGuff did just that? I heard it was only a 4 year contract.

No "we're doomed" if you talk about it like it's a sure thing. It offends the mojo.

The facility they are at is the California State University at Northridge (CSUN) gym, about 20 miles northwest of downtown L.A.

So TIL that Alex and Napheesa are dating. Carry on.
