Kobe Bryant's daughters paid tribute to him and Gigi when they watched the WNBA All-Star Game last Wednesday. Bianka Bryant and Capri Bryant sported special looks for the showpiece event in Las Vegas, Nevada, that pitted Team WNBA and Team USA.
Bianka, who is now four years old, wore her late father's famous Los Angeles Lakers jersey while two-year-old Capri rocked her late sister's No. 2 jersey from Kobe's Mamba Academy. Vanessa Bryant was a proud mom as she shared the photos of her girls on social media.

She wrote "Capri repping our Gigi #MAMBACITA at the @wnba All Star Game #2," in one of her posts that featured a snapshot of Capri at the game. Vanessa also posted a picture of daughter Bianka, with the caption "B.B. repping Daddy. #8#24 @wnba All Star Game."
Vanessa also shared a picture of herself with the young Bryant duo in the sports arena and a photo of Bianka and Capri hanging out with their older sister Natalia as they enjoyed the game.
WNBA superstar Sabrina Ionescu, a close friend of Kobe Bryant, was also seen hanging out with the Bryant girls as they took in the sights and sounds of the All-Star Game. The contest was a close affair, with Team WNBA pulling off a 93-85 victory over Team USA.
It was only fitting that Vanessa and her daughters watched the WNBA All-Star Game as Kobe and Gigi were huge fans of the women's game.

Vanessa still looking for justice 18 months after the crash
It is crazy to think that it has already been 18 months since Kobe and Gigi died in a tragic helicopter crash. On January 26, 2020, the NBA legend, his 13-year-old daughter, and seven other people were killed when the helicopter they were riding plunged into a steep hillside in Southern California.
Just last month, Vanessa Bryant and the family members of the other victims in the crash settled a wrongful death lawsuit against the charter company and the estate of the operating helicopter pilot responsible for the deaths.
The suit was initially filed a month after the crash. It alleged that pilot Ara Zobayan, who was also one of the nine victims, was "negligent" and failed "to use ordinary care in piloting the subject aircraft."
Vanessa Bryant was the driving force behind the suit as she wanted some form of payback for the lives lost in the crash. She alleged in the lawsuit that has now been settled that Zobayan failed to abort the flight even though the pilot knew of the cloudy conditions. The settlement ended the families' legal action against Zobayan's estate and Island Express Holding Corp. and Island Express Helicopters, which all denied responsibility for the unfortunate crash.
Vanessa's thirst for vengeance doesn't end there, however, as she also filed a lawsuit against Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva and his department back in September, claiming that his deputies took graphic photos of the helicopter crash on their cellphones.
