Tragically separated by the blow of fate on January 26, 2020, Kobe and Vanessa Bryant formed a close couple in the last years of their lives. The Mamba himself had also revealed the brilliant punchline of his sweetness towards a fan. This contrasts with the polished image of Vanessa!
When we think of Kobe Bryant, hard not to think of Vanessa and her daughters, his little tribe that he oversees so closely. Today amputated from Mamba and Gianna, the clan continues to rebuild itself and to honor the memory of the deceased as well as possible. One thing is certain: no one will forget the imprint of Vanessa on the career of her husband, she who married the Lakers star when she was still very young.
If the tears have flowed a lot for two and a half years, the tragic end should not make us forget the smiles and the laughter. Thus, Kobe told in 2013 during an interview with ESPN a rather tasty anecdote. At that time, the rear was still an NBA player, a true living legend in Los Angeles… but down to earth all the same.
Vanessa Bryant’s punchline as Kobe pumps gas
Journalist: When was the last time you put in gasoline yourself?
Kobe Bryant: Yesterday. I do all the daily tasks of my life myself. The other day my wife and I stopped at 7-Eleven and I started putting gas in the car. She went inside to buy something and was in line at the checkout. The guy in front of her saw me outside, but didn’t see her. He says, “Wow, there’s Kobe Bryant putting on his essence himself!” My wife replies, “He wipes his own ass too!” »
She got back in the car and we had a good laugh about it. We have the same sense of humor about this sort of thing. But otherwise yes, I do the same things as the others.
This fan must have long remembered Vanessa’s totally unexpected remark, which he didn’t even know was there. We would have paid a lot to see the sequence…
To stay on the theme of smiling, after having cried so much, we offer you the video below to close the article:
Vanessa Bryant was capable of anything, including devastating humorous outings. After all, trash-talking was necessarily part of this cult couple given Kobe’s personality!
