Setting the bar high for aspiring players.

In January 2020, they were traveling to attend a youth basketball tournament when the whole incident occurred. The incident happened so quickly that processing it was difficult. Even though Bryant has left us at this point, Vanessa always keeps everyone updated on the charities and work Bryant has left.
