In the video, Kobe Bryant revealed that Gianna originally started out with soccer, but soon asked her father to teach her basketball. Bryant taught her ‘piece by piece’, which she started enjoying. Gianna had taken to playing basketball every day. He was proud to see her grow each day and glad he could be with her throughout the process.
