One of Bryant’s closest friends and teammates, Pau Gasol, posted a heartfelt message on Instagram. Gasol's emotional caption explained how he named his newborn daughter after Gianna Bryant:

“I wish you could’ve met our little Elisabet Gianna. We will make sure she knows where her middle name comes from… how extraordinary, loving and inspiring her cousin Gigi and her uncle Kobe were… Today, we honor and celebrate both of you, you have left us with so much…, but even if it isn’t how we would like things to be, you are, and always will be, in our hearts.”

The basketball world and the Dallas Mavericks will continue to mourn and remember the legendary life of Kobe Bryant, who impacted so many.
