5-Time NBA Champion Kobe Bryant Once Revealed His Daughters Ignored His Basketball Advice: “The Coach Said..”

Kobe Bryant was a legend inside the court and also had a great and peaceful life off the court. Bryant had 3 daughters, of which Gianna was the one who focused on basketball. After Bryant retired, he took to the business side, trying to learn how to invest and be a successful businessman.

Apart from all his revenue-generating industries, he loved watching her daughter play basketball. Gianna already had a mixtape of her own. Not only did she play exceptionally, but also played against older players. Her game prep and workouts were indeed taken care of by Kobe himself. He would teach his daughters all he could, as sometimes his advice won’t work.

Gigi wouldn’t listen to his father’s advice

Despite the 5-time champ’s advice, Gigi and Natalia would do their own thing. Kobe would try to tell Gianna what she should be doing mid-game. While anyone would respect Bryant’s advice and would do as asked, her daughters took things under their control.

“With both of my daughters, Natalia and Gianna when they started playing, you know I’m like, ‘Maybe you should like, shoot like this a little bit’ and they’re like ‘No I got this’ I’m like Dude! Seriously… seriously?”, said Bryant.

If Kobe would teach anyone how to shoot the basketball, no one would ignore his words. But her daughters weren’t as big of a fan of their father’s teachings.

Not only did they pay little attention to Kobe, but they would also do what their coach would tell them. “Hey when you get the rebound, you should do this and she’s like ‘But the coach said…’ I’m like oh god!”, added Kobe.

Kobe Bryant was a great student and an amazing teacher

When Bryant would have questions related to basketball, he would seek help from his friend and big brother, Michael Jordan. It was to a point where Bryant would call Jordan late at night and about 2 in the morning. After his retirement, he would go on to teach younger athletes to be the best player they could be.

Bryant also set up his basketball academy, naming it Mamba Academy. He also invited big-time NBA players and set up a camp for them.
