Candace Parker offered a touching tribute on behalf of late NBA legend Kobe Bryant and his late daughter, Gianna "Gigi" Bryant, after winning a WNBA title with the Chicago Sky.
Kobe's widow and Gigi's mother, Vanessa, is close with the 6-foot-4 WNBA superstar, who said the two spoke prior to Sunday's championship-clinching victory against the Phoenix Mercury.
"I think Kobe and Gigi have meant so much to our league, so the advice I got from Vanessa before the game was play Gigi's way, and I think we've done that," Parker said during the postgame press conference. "We've done that all playoffs, so I want to acknowledge his contribution."
