“Mambacita is forever a Husky,” the team wrote alongside the photo, using Gianna’s nickname, for which Kobe filed a trademark just one month before their deaths, according to People.

According to the Hartford Courant, Kobe said in 2018 that Gianna was “hellbent on UConn.”

“My daughter loves Gabby Williams, absolutely loves Gabby, loves [all of them]. She watches their interviews, watches how they play and learns—not just in wins, but in tough losses, how they conduct themselves. It’s great, as a parent, to be able to see my daughter pull inspiration from them.”

On Sunday, the night of the crash, the Huskies shared their grief over Kobe and Gianna’s deaths on Twitter saying, “Kobe and Gianna meant a lot to our program. Our thoughts are with the Bryant family,” the team tweeted along with a photo of the father and daughter wearing matching UConn apparel. “Mamba Mentality will live on forever, but they are deeply missed.”

On Monday, Paulo Coelho, the author of The Alchemist, joined in on honoring Kobe and his family by deleting the draft of a children’s book he was writing with Kobe.

“I deleted the draft because it didn’t make any sense to publish without him,” Coelho told the Associated Press. “It wouldn’t add anything relevant to him or his family.”

“That doesn’t stop me from writing someday about things I learned from Kobe and how much of a larger than life person he was,” Coelho said. “But the children’s book did not make sense anymore.”

Kobe Bryant’s death, along with his daughter Gianna’s, remains a hard pill for the world to swallow. It can be difficult finding the right way to memorialize them in a way that is respectful and honors the people they were in life. It warms the heart to see all that is being done and I hope it continues.
