During the interview, Claire revealed that Kobe always wanted to base a character off her daughter in the book.
“I love Vera… who’s not the main character or the secondary character. She’s just this amazing athlete who’s competitive. She just embodies pure athletic drive, but she’s also the kindest and the most reasonable and the person who doesn’t have to be told to be a good friend. It just comes naturally to her.
