Vanessa Bryant Renames Mamba Sports Foundation In Honor Of Kobe And Gianna

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Kobe Bryant’s Mamba Sports Foundation will now be known as the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation, to carry on the legacy of both the NBA legend and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, who died in a helicopter crash last month. “Because there is no #24 without #2, we have updated the Mamba Sports Foundation to now be called the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation,” she wrote on Instagram, referring to Kobe and Gianna’s jersey numbers. Just weeks before they died, Kobe Bryant, whose nickname was “Black Mamba” due to his ferocity on the basketball court, filed to trademark the name “Mambacita” for his daughter, who aspired to play in the WNBA. The organization has been flooded with donations in the weeks since Kobe and Gianna’s deaths, and Vanessa Bryant thanked contributors for their outpouring of support.
