Bryant often accompanied her father, sitting with him at the 2008 NBA Finals press conference[2] and playing on the court during warm-ups at the 2016 All-Star Game.

[7] USA Today noted, in June 2018, that, having just turned 12, she was already taller than her mother, and speculated that, by the time she was grown, she might be close to the height of her father.

They stated, "That size with Bryant's skill is an absolutely terrifying combination for a young dynamo who clearly has the ability to dominate the flow of a game on the court.

"[8] On December 30, 2019, Bryant's father Kobe made a trademark application for "Mambacita", her sports nickname (derived from his, "The Black Mamba")[9] on her behalf.

[11] On February 7, Bryant and her father were buried in a private funeral in Pacific View Memorial Park in the Corona del Mar neighborhood of Newport Beach, California.

[12] A public memorial service was held on February 24 (2/24, marking both Kobe's and Gianna's jersey numbers) at the Staples Center with Jimmy Kimmel hosting.

It was black and white, meant to "symbolize[s] Gigi Bryant's impact on basketball and her goal to build a better, more inclusive future for the game," Nike said.

[31] On the second anniversary of their death, January 26, 2022, a 160 lb (73 kg) bronze statue of Gianna and her father was placed for one day at the site of the crash.
