Over the weekend Vanessa Bryant and her family celebrated Kobe being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame! Her daughter with Kobe Natalia actually accepted the Jacket and Kobe would have received, it was a very special moment! Well afterwards Vanessa talked about how Natalia's prom was the next day. She also noticed that her and Natalia had something in common with their Proms and it involves Kobe.
"Natalia almost missed her senior prom last night. When I was a senior in high school, Kobe and I were engaged and he had a playoff game the night of my prom. Kobe didn’t want me going to prom without him and I didn’t want to go without him. When we heard Natalia’s prom night and Kobe’s Hall of Fame night were on the same night, I looked at Natalia and said,” well if it’s any consolation, daddy kept me from going to my prom, so it’s only right that he tried to keep you from going to yours.” 😃 Of course we laughed because even in heaven, he’s still trying to make moves and keep the boys away. Natalia’s experienced so much loss, I couldn’t let her miss out on her once in a lifetime opportunity to go to her senior prom. Thank you for flying out to accept daddy’s Hall of Fame jacket and fly home the next morning."
