Vanessa Bryant, the wife of late NBA legend and one of the best basketball players ever, Kobe Bryant, has shared a heartfelt tribute on the day of her husband’s retirement four years ago.

Kobe Bryant played his last NBA game against the Utah Jazz on April 13, 2016. That day has since been refereed to as “Mamba Day”, celebrating Kobe’s retirement and his famous nickname “Black Mamba”.

Less than four years later, he was tragically killed alongside his second-oldest daughter Gianna Bryant in a horrible helicopter crash. Vanessa has therefore been left to take care of her other three daughters, Natalia, 17, Bianka, 3, and Capri, who is just 9 months old.
