Kobe among his 4 daughters was more fond of Gigi and the two got close after she started playing basketball. Gigi started accompanying her father to almost every NBA game. He would also accompany her to all of her games at the Mamba Sports Academy in Newbury Park. As a teenager, Gigi started playing competitive basketball in the AAU basketball team in 2011. Following this, she and her team were coached by Kobe in his Mamba Sports Academy training facility in Thousand Oaks, California.
Apart from her father, Gigi’s favorite player was Luka Doncic. In an interview, Kobe said that after retiring from basketball it was because of Gigi that he started watching the game. Further, he also revealed that Gigi was quite a dominant player like him. It would have been quite admiring for us to watch Kobe’s daughter Gigi continue his legacy if it wasn’t for their untimely demise.
What did Kobe and Gianna Bryant’s autopsy reports indicate?
After the incident, three years later, the autopsy reports were released for both Kobe and Gigi. According to sources, it was shared by county fire and sheriff’s department employees that were considered quite irrelevant to the investigation. Photos of the crash site and other classified pictures went public. According to the reports, the legs were severed from the body as well as the right hand. Apart from this, there were multiple fractures and bones throughout the body and injuries in the skull. Also, the organs were disemboweled with plenty of burns on the skin.

Following this, on the second day of the testimony when those images were being discussed, Vanessa Bryant walked out of court. According to sources, she got emotional when Victor Gutierrez, a bartender, described what he saw in those photos in detail. But later she returned to hear Guitierrez’s testimony before leaving the courtroom.
Thus, one can only think of how horrifying it would have been for Vanessa to hear such things. However, it was quite a private affair for the Bryant family that should not have been done publicly.
