“Gianna’s death was a tragedy, and it touched many people’s lives.” Many people have suffered from this tragedy, but they have done their best to stay strong. G. Bryant had a great dad and family, yet the helicopter crash was an incident in which she went to go play basketball. 

“Gianna had an impact on female ballers as Kobe’s daughter.” She had inspired female ballers to be the best, and that is because she strived for greatness as a girl in a male dominant industry. She had played hard and told everyone she was the next Bryant.

“Gianna was a part of Kobe’s legacy, so to see her go hurts.” G. Bryant was next in line to become the greatest and carry on the legacy of her father. G. Bryant played the game that her dad loved, and wanted to become the next person to do the crazy things he did.
