Gigi Bryant (Kobe's daughter)

[EricLA]

Apparently her team is pretty good. Coached by Kobe and Sabrina Ionescu, Gigi's team of 11-13 year olds was beating teams older than them recently. I LOVE that Kobe loves UCONN so much, and it appears so does Gigi. Would love to land her when she's ready for college...

Kobe has stated several times that UConn is Gigi's favorite team, and I'm pretty sure Katie Lou is/was her favorite player.

LA Sparks do not have any UCONN players on their team (good thing in my book - not sure how I could ever root for a team with the primadonna on it), but at least Kobe can take her to Sparks games when teams with UCONN alums (and/or Lou's team) come to town...!

Why/how is Sabrina involved?

Huh? Don't get the "primadonna" bit?

Why/how is Sabrina involved?

That puzzled me too. If you read Sabrina's 'I'm staying' essay, she gushes over Kobe breaking down her game on ESPN+. It seems like just a few weeks ago they didn't know each other. Perhaps Kobe reached out to her after that? Didn't he do that after Arike mentioned Mamba mentality?

I'm sure most of the long time UConn fans know who the prima donna is. Think of something faded orange.

let's wait until someone is 5 feet tall and 15 years old before we talk about recruiting them

EricLA- - - Right on! Using the old line on Reggie Jackson, "there's not enough mustard around to cover that Hot Dog!"

Well, I've been a UConn fan since the early 90s and it wasn't clear to me who he was talking about. I get it now!

“My daughter loves Gabby Williams, absolutely loves Gabby” Bryant told The Courant

Remember Mo'ne Davis ???

The prima donna reference was obvious.

Walz has a 4-foot tall and 12 yr.old cut off point. Shouldn't we try to stay ahead of him?

The prima donna reference was obvious.

Yes, it should have been, but for some reason I didn't get it. So what's it to you? I asked for clarification, got it and acknowledged my oversight.
