Back when his third-oldest Bianka was just over a year, Elle spoke with Kobe "one time, backstage at an event for ESPN in New York. And I saw him, and I thought, 'Oh my gosh, that's Kobe. I gotta get a picture for the 'gram.'"
"Got the picture," she noted, "[but] I didn't get it for a few minutes because, as I approached him, he immediately commented on my rather large, eight-month pregnant belly." Duncan said Bryant was instantly more interested in talking about her pregnancy than anything else. He wanted to know how she was feeling, when she was due and if she was expecting a son or daughter. "'A girl,' I said, and then he high-fived me: 'Girls are the best,'" she recalled.
"When it came to sports, he said that his oldest daughter [Natalia] was an accomplished volleyball player and that the youngest was a toddler, so TBD. But that middle one," she went on, fighting back tears. "He said, 'That middle one was a monster. She's a beast. She's better than I was at her age. She's got it.' That middle one, of course, was Gigi."
In fact, Kobe, Gigi and seven other passengers, including some of her teammates and coaches, were headed to Bryant's Mamba Academy in Thousand Oaks, where the girls were set to compete in a basketball tournament. They never made it.
