NBA Legend Kobe Bryant Says His Daughter Is 'Hellbent' On Playing For UConn

"Miller was trying to convince Bryant to send his daughter to UCLA, even grabbing the Lakers legend and shouting “UCLA” when Bryant said, “She is hellbent on UConn. Really.”

“Come on, you don’t want her to go that far,” Miller said.

“Her momma don’t want her to go that far,” Bryant responded before the two laughed."

If a small portion Memory still exists didn't Kobe go to HS and live midway in NJ, seems it was near Philly. So the bit about being far from "home" may not take into account the extended NJ family.

She's 12 years old. Nobody knows if the 17 year olds are good enough yet.

or if Uconn is still good enough in 5 years for her to be interested in.

Kobe spent a lot of time in Europe, but he played at Lower Merion High School on the Main Line in the Pennsylvania suburbs. One of my son’s friends was on Kobe’s rookie card, being posterized. To say that Kobe dominated the Central League was an understatement.

Hellbent on UConn is great at any age!

Gianna has the look of a player.

Sad to see all the pressure being put on this kid because of who her father is . Smh

Gianna has the look of a player.

When a child takes up the sport of a parent who was exceptional in that sport people have hopes/expectations. There also is Gene's and attributes of the parent passed down as well as the (sometimes) training, education, in that field. EDD had a BB trainer from a very early age that didn't seem to her her much.

A selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor may be just the thing.

Kobe grew up in Italy.

See Milfords post above. Thank you. He went to the NBA out of a NJ hs. Thanks

Poor thing - so disadvantaged...

Seriously though, she's being encouraged to go to UCLA but she's "hellbent on UConn." Sounds like she has a mind of her own. High expectations of herself, but not necessarily unhealthy pressure.

 

[sno-cat]

Maybe her father will follow her to UConn as the post Geno coach????

Kobe was born in Philly, where his father, Joe "Jelly Bean" Bryant, played for the Sixers. At age 6, the family moved to Italy, where Joe continued his career. They moved back to the U.S., and Kobe played high school ball in the Pennsylvania (not New Jersey) suburbs of Philly.

I believe Kobe's older daughter doesnt play basketball, but Volleyball. I dont think he forces any of his kids to play, they just love too.

She wants to play for Geno (and Chris). That sound like an oppressed girl to you?

The WNBA logo is most definitely Sue Bird. Not bad for UConn.

I believe the WNBA logo is Jennifer Azzi.

a 12 year old beliveing Geno & Chris will be around to coach them in 5 to 7 years seems farfetched .
