Vanessa Bryant, her family, and the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation are carrying on Kobe and Gigi Bryant’s legacy.
The dude liked it so he’s about to put a ring on it, with a little help from the guy who’s won four NBA title rings himself.
As people in Atlanta and around the world are still in mourning and honoring the lives of the shooting victims (according to BBC), “with fears of anti-Asian bias” reportedly against the victims according to the New York Times, Steph Curry is hoping to show his love and stand in solidarity with the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community by raising awareness and money.
“Disgust, horror and outright anger at why any violence keeps happening in our country,” Curry told The Undefeated. “After all we have been through this past year, let alone in the history of our country, people still deal with unnecessary tragedy and are afraid for their lives. We have to do better.”
In what was a trying time for so many last year, the Bryant family also suffered much pain. Through all the adversity and trauma, the Bryant’s have some good news this year to share. Vanessa Bryant excitedly shared her daughter is going to USC!
Lonnie got some laughs from a tweet about his wrist injury. See what he retweeted here!
More love. Less hate. As an Flipino-American, here’s my perspective on the racism and vitriol that’s happening towards the incredibly resilient, strong, humble, loving Asian-American Pacific Islander community. “We are TIRED of our pain being overlooked #StopAsianHate,” Jeremy Lin said in a Tweet.
“Elgin Baylor set the course for the modern NBA as one of the league’s first superstar players,” Adam Silver said in a statement. “An 11-time All-Star during his Hall of Fame career with the Lakers, Elgin produced remarkable results with his athleticism and groundbreaking style of play, including setting an NBA Finals record with 61 points in Game 5 of the 1962 championship series – a performance made all the more extraordinary by the fact that he had spent part of that season away from his team while on active duty in the Army.”
In court documents that Vanessa Bryant recently shared on Instagram, one of the pages reads as follows: “According to the (Los Angeles County) Sheriff’s Department’s subsequent investigatory report, one deputy in particular took between 25 and 100 photos of the crash scene on his personal cell phone, many of which had no conceivable investigatory purpose and were focused directly on the victims’ remains”.
“Nothing angers and saddens me more than not being available to and for my teammates!” James said in a Tweet. “I’m hurt inside and out right now…The road back from recovery begins now. Back soon like I never left. #ThekidfromAKRON”.
“Same haters we got now are gonna be the same ones we have when I put that ring on her finger…” Karl-Anthony Towns said in a Tweet.
