Shit, it doesn't matter, you know you're my daughter before you're a basketball player and it's important that she knows that's how I feel and those aren't words, you have to behave that way, you have to show it to her after a tough game. You get in the car and you forget not only that, but Kobe's love of telling stories and writing was also sparked by his daughters, he told the Showtime basketball podcast that he started writing because there didn't seem to be anything out there that his the children could identify, she explained, I don't mean only from the point of view of diversity like color, but from the fact that they are athletes and there is no story that speaks to the athletes, they are all princesses, right, you A great idea happens, but if the idea lacks substance lack of originality lack of innovation you're not going to get anywhere Kobe also emphasized thatwanted to teach them how to work for their success as kobe and vanessa continue to find success in their marriage the nba star shared the secret to his happiness when he sat down with Showtime Basketball in January 2020, he talked about how they made it all work after almost 20 years of marriage, just commitment and competitiveness, we are going to be successful and he went on to say that we have seen couples that have been like 85. years and you look and say, oh man, such a sweet old couple and I would go talk to them because I want to know when a guy goes, yeah it's cool, but she kicked me out of bed last night.
