Candace Parker, a very good friend of the late Kobe Bryant, was seen coaching Kobe and Vanessa Bryant’s daughter, Bianka, on the basketball court. 

The WNBA star recently shared a photo of the moment on her Instagram story, captioning, "Look at the wrist loaded under the ball... On her toes... Basketball in her blood! #MiniMamba Aunty Candace is so proud of you BB and you too, COACH @vanessabryant."

Parker is known to be one of the greatest WNBA players ever. The Los Angeles Sparks selected her as the first overall pick in the 2008 WNBA draft. She spent 13 seasons with that team, two seasons with the Chicago Sky, and one season with the Las Vegas Aces, winning a championship with each. The 38-year-old retired last year.

In January 2020, Kobe, his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, and seven others died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.
