SportsCenter’s Elle Duncan offered a tearful tribute to Kobe Bryant: 'The only small source of comfort for me is knowing that he died doing what he loved the most: being a dad. Being a girl dad.'
As NBA fans, Angelenos, and people around the world mourn the loss of legendary L.A. Laker Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna in a fatal helicopter crash on Sunday morning, many are sharing tributes to the man he was on and off the court. ESPN announced that they will re-air his final game, as a tribute.
Without hesitation, he said: “I would have five more girls if I could. I’m a girl dad.” When it came to sports, he said that his oldest daughter was an accomplished volleyball player, and that the youngest was a toddler so TBD. But that middle one, he said that middle one was “a monster, she’s a beast. She’s better than I was at her age. She’s got it.” That middle one, of course, was Gigi.
Duncan adds, reflecting on the tragedy, that “the only small source of comfort for me is knowing that he died doing what he loved the most: being a dad. Being a girl dad.”
