“It was great,” said Bryant to Usa Today Sports to go to the training of Gianna and his team.
“You can see them grow and develop and improve. It is more important than the game itself that you understand that their confidence as young women grows enormously by playing sports and that you must be aware of it.
Vanessa’s birthday position in Gigi came after the wall in Los Angeles de Bryant with his second daughter was vandalized.
