The Los Angeles Lakers honored Kobe Bryant\u2019s daughter Gigi with Mambacita gear before their game on Sunday. It would have been Gianna Bryant\u2019s 15th birthday on Saturday. Her mom, Vanessa Bryant, decided to honor her by releasing the Mambacita apparel for the special occasion. Anthony Davis and other Lakers joined in this tribute by wearing the apparel before the game.<\/p>\n

In a year with a lot of loss in 2020, the helicopter crash in January was a tragedy. The crash killed nine people including Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna. It\u2019s already been 15 months since the crash and it is still hard to think about for Lakers fans and everyone else in the NBA.
\nGianna Bryant was motivated like her father and was on her way to the WNBA. The Lakers have been honoring both of them since the accident including winning a championship for them.
\nLakers superstar LeBron James said this about honoring Kobe back in September: \u201cAt the end of the day, we just hope we make him and his family proud.\u201d
\nKobe and Gianna\u2019s legacy is something that will continue to live on. Lakers fans will always remember everything Kobe did for them and also how great of a father he was. Gianna strived to carry on Kobe\u2019s legacy and was well on her way to doing that.
\nLeBron James had a very emotional speech in the Lakers\u2019 first game back after the tragedy last season.
\nHe closed his speech by saying, \u201cIn the words of Kobe Bryant, \u2018Mamba Out,\u2019 but in the words of us, not forgotten \u2014 live on brother.\u201d
\nKobe and Gianna may be gone, but their legacy will live on forever. The 2020 playoffs provided a poignant backdrop to the grief LeBron, Anthony Davis, and the rest of the Laker family were still processing. That remembrance continues into 2021 and the upcoming playoffs.<\/p>\n
