Vanessa Bryant Commemorates 24th Anniversary with Kobe, Receives Support from Pau Gasol

Vanessa Bryant commemorated her 24th wedding anniversary with the late Kobe Bryant by sharing a heartfelt tribute on social media, marking both their enduring love and Kobe’s iconic No. 24 jersey number. The day was made more special by a touching gesture from Kobe’s former teammate, Pau Gasol, and his family, who sent Vanessa a large bouquet of roses and a loving card, highlighting the continued close bond between the families. Vanessa and her daughters have remained active in the basketball community, attending events like the 2024 Paris Olympics and supporting women’s basketball, with Vanessa sharing moments with WNBA stars and celebrating Candace Parker’s 39th birthday. The Bryant family continues to honor the memories of Kobe and Gianna, with Vanessa announcing an upcoming book chronicling murals dedicated to their legacy and sharing tributes during significant milestones, such as UConn's women's basketball championship, which was deeply meaningful given Gianna’s dream of playing for the Huskies. These ongoing tributes and public support from friends underscore the resilience and unity of the Bryant family and their extended basketball community.
