Priyanka Chopra, who also etched Kobe’s jersey number on her nails before her visit to Grammy Awards 2020, shared a heartwarming tribute for the later NBA player. “Kobe Bryant was my first real introduction to the NBA. I was 13 living in Queens NYC, the same age as his sweet little girl, Gianna. He ignited my love for the sport, competition, and striving for excellence. He inspired an entire generation. His legacy is so much bigger than basketball. This heartbreaking accident also took the life of his young daughter, Gianna. I’m shook and so saddened,” read an excerpt from her long post.
