Vanessa Bryant reveals Kobe’s unseen gift in 23rd anniversary homage with rare photo
Though he is no longer with us, Kobe Bryant’s legacy in the NBA and the Los Angeles Lakers lives on in the hearts and minds of countless people. And in the mind of his widow, Vanessa Bryant, he is particularly present.
The two would have commemorated their 23rd wedding anniversary on Thursday. Vanessa posted sweet old pictures of them together on their last anniversary, which she had to spend alone for the fourth time.

In reality, their daughter Natalia Bryant posted the photo. Kobe is seen in the picture sporting one of his very first pairs of Adidas signature sneakers. Thus, we can infer that the image most likely dates from the early 2000s.
