WNBA - English
Vanessa Bryant and her daughters added a touch of glamor and heartfelt fandom to the New York Liberty‘s dominant 85-66 win over the Chicago Sky.
With her family by her side, the 43-year-old widow of NBA icon Kobe Bryant made a rare public appearance to support Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu, Kobe’s protege and a close friend of the Bryant family.
Vanessa, dressed in a bold red outfit that turned heads and silenced recent social media speculation about pregnancy, was all smiles with daughters Natalia, Bianka, and Capri.
While the Liberty‘s 9-0 start has fans dreaming of another WNBA championship, it was the Bryant family’s courtside energy that drew just as much attention off the floor.
Natalia Bryant, now 22 and forging her own path in fashion and modeling, stood out during the night in her own right, posing for photos with reigning French Open champion Coco Gauff, who was also in attendance.
The crossover of sports icons from basketball to tennis highlighted the growing unity among elite women athletes and their supporters.
Reese towers over the moment in postgame photos
But one of the most talked-about moments came after the final buzzer, when 6-foot-3 Chicago Sky star Angel Reese joined the Bryant family for a postgame photo that instantly lit up social media.
Reese towered over both Vanessa, who stands at 5-foot-5, and Natalia, who at 5-foot-9 was a standout volleyball player in high school. Despite the Sky’s loss, Reese remained gracious and beamed while posing with the Bryant girls.
Vanessa, Natalia, and little Bianka and Capri also shared a touching reunion with Ionescu, who greeted the family warmly.
Smiles, hugs, and cameras captured the heartwarming interaction-a moment that celebrated more than just a basketball game.
It reflected the Bryant family’s continued support for women’s sports and their growing bond with the WNBA community.
Though Kobe may be gone, his presence still lingers around the league through Vanessa‘s unwavering commitment to uplifting the athletes he admired.
Tuesday night in Brooklyn was yet another reminder that the Mamba legacy lives on, not just through wins and highlights, but through family, friendship, and moments that transcend the court.

Pacers vs. Thunder NBA Finals: Alex Caruso has been giving OKC a little bit of everything — including a lot more minutes
OKLAHOMA CITY — Through the first seven and a half months of this NBA season, Alex Caruso had only topped 30 minutes in a game twice.The first: a late-March meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers, when injuries to Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren pressed him into duty in the Thunder’s starting lineup. The second: Game 4 of the 2024 Western Conference finals, when the veteran super-sub skittered all over the court, guarding Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert and every Timberwolf in between in a hard-fought 128-126 win that drew Oklahoma City within one win of the 2025 NBA Finals.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementNow that the Thunder are actually in the 2025 NBA Finals, though? Caruso has played 30-plus twice in four Finals games — the last two, now that you mention it.As the philosopher once said, “There are no coincidences.”That philosopher’s name? Alex Caruso.Oklahoma City […]

Roosevelt in 1945.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementShe apparently did so in defiance of the Dodgers' instructions, as she posted a TikTok following the performance showing an unidentified employee explicitly telling her the song should be in English."We are going to do the song in English today, so I don't know if that wasn't translated — er, communicated," the employee said.Nezza's caption: "Watch the Dodgers tell me I can't sing the Spanish Star Spangled Banner that Roosevelt literally commissioned in 1945 — so I did it anyway."
