Kobe Bryant’s untimely death has brought to the forefront a great conversation about being a girl dad.
Elle Duncan from ESPN Sports Center gave an emotional commentary about meeting Bryant when she was eight months pregnant. He congratulated her and asked her what she was having. She told him she was having a girl, and he high-fived her and said, “Girls are the best!”
Later in the conversation, Bryant said that he and his wife had talked about having more children, but his wife was jokingly concerned: What if they had another girl? Duncan said, “Four girls. Are you joking? What would you think? How would you feel?”
Without hesitation, Bryant said, “I would have five more girls if I could. I’m a girl dad!”
Beyond his basketball legacy, Bryant will for sure be remembered for enthusiastically embracing being a girl dad.
