Kobe Bryant holding daughter celebrating Eagles Super Bowl will give you chills

The Los Angeles Lakers legend was a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan growing up in Lower Merion. It's heartbreaking and heartwarming to see him giddy as a fan.

It's heartwarming and heartbreaking to see vintage videos of Kobe Bryant with his daughters.

The Los Angeles Lakers and NBA legend lives on through his widow Vanessa Bryant and daughters Natalia, 21, Bianka, 8, and Capri, 5. Gianna tragically passed away with her father in a helicopter crash when she was 13 years old.

One of those classic moments resurfaced on social media, when an exuberant Kobe, holding Bianka in his arms, watched at home like any diehard Philadelphia Eagles when the miracle Nick Foles-led underdogs beat Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and the New England Patriots, 41-33, to win the franchise's first ever Super Bowl on February 4, 2018.

"Oh thank god," Bryant exhales as Brady's Hail Mary falls incomplete. "Oh my god, yes bro. We won the f**king Super Bowl. That's it. That's it. That's it. We won the f**king Super Bowl."

Bryant, holding Bianka, then goes on to do what can only be described as a happy dance, ecstatically screaming at the end, with Vanessa filming all of it laughing with delight for her husband.

Only a couple of months prior, Bryand had both of his numbers, 8 and 24, retired by the Lakers, so it was a special time for Kobe and his family.

Only a couple of years later, the unimaginable happened.

It's great to have these amazing memories of Kobe with his daughters, with Vanessa and his daughters doing an outstanding job having his spirit live on for generations to come.
