The last year showed us life can be unpredictable & fragile.
It’s been 1 year since the deaths of Kobe Bryant, Gianna & those on board with them.
Kobe was a champion of basketball, but also of women’s sports. He was the ultimate #GirlDad.
Thinking of his loved ones today. pic.twitter.com/e5Vq7ZDqE1
