Mambacita hoodie: NBA legend Allen Iverson becomes latest star to sport iconic wear

On late Gianna Bryant's would-be 15th birthday, Vanessa Bryant launched a clothing line, which celebrated and honoured her and Kobe Bryant's daughter. The product was a large success, the proceeds going to the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation. Along with several stars, Allen Iverson too chose to support the cause.

"God bless all the Mambacitas of the world," Iverson wrote on Twitter. He added the hashtag "PlayGigisWay", which has been used to honour Gigi. Fans replied under the tweet, happy that the Philadelphia 76ers legend was helping honour Gianna, who was working towards playing basketball professionally like her father. 

Among many more NBA players, the Golden State Warriors also paid tribute to Gianna, wearing the Mambacita hoodies before the game. Steph Curry and Draymond Green donned matching Mambacita hoodie warriors jumpsuits which were released. Curry also made a post on his Twitter account in memory of Gianna.

Gianna, Kobe Bryant and seven others were killed in a tragic helicopter crash on January 26, 2020. The crash occurred due to adverse weather, while the group was headed to Thousand Oaks for a basketball game. The hoodies, meant to honour Gianna's legacy, were inspired by her black and white uniform as well.
