At the end of January 2020, Kobe Bryant and his daughter left us. Died in a tragic helicopter crash, they left an indelible mark on the history of the league. As a father, Draymond Green imagined what the Black Mamba had done to reassure little Gianna on the day they died…
More than three years ago now, NBA fans learned what was probably the saddest news in their history. Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna died after a horrific helicopter crash and left a gaping hole in the hearts of the basketball community. The Black Mamba had always shown that he was a close father to his children and to “GiGi” in particular, who was talented with the ball in hand.
Throughout the education of his four daughters, the former Lakers had been protective and loving. Shortly after that cursed January 26, 2020, Draymond Green then spoke at the microphone of The Athletic and tried to imagine what Kobe had done to reassure his 13-year-old daughter when they were in the chopper. As a father, the Warriors player understood the desire not to show any concern…
Draymond Green imagines the terrible moment of the death of Kobe and his daughter
When my children are sick, we behave like the doctor. My daughter came to see me at the end of last week. She woke up twice in the middle of the night, saying, “Daddy, my stomach hurts.” “Alright, come on, let me lay you down.” You lay her down, you soothe her, and she’s fine. She goes back to sleep. Then she comes back a few hours later. At that time, I just massaged her belly, and she fell asleep…

Everything your child is going through, you make sure to tackle this problem. So, for me, as a father, I think of Kobe in this situation. Especially to the man that was Kobe. Kobe would have moved mountains and no one in the world could have told him he couldn’t do it, he would have pushed him out of his way. You think of him in this situation, he is there with his daughter.
He’s probably telling her it’s okay. And in his mind, he knows that’s not the case. But as a father, you can’t even show your daughter that you don’t think everything is okay. So I just think about that. And from the bottom of my heart, really, when I know I was far from that helicopter, but I know how it happened.
He had to hug his daughter tight and told her everything was going to be okay. It hurts me a lot because I know what it is, just being a father. And then you think of his three daughters and his wife. There is no one left to tell them that everything is going to be fine. That’s kinda what hurts me.
If he was an admirer of Kobe, the strong winger is above all a father who cherishes his children. This tragic death then awakened in him the fear of losing them and the emotion is certainly still strong years later…
When Kobe Bryant left us, millions of people were affected. Draymond Green forgot basketball for a few minutes and above all spoke with the heart of a father who imagines the pain that must be the fact of seeing himself die with his daughter…
