The legendary basketballer and others in the NBA saw much of the father’s spark and determination in Gianna.

She was quick to remind people that Kobe did not need a son to continue the family's basketball legacy, as she was going to represent them.

At the time of their death, the two were heading to Mamba Sports Academy as Gianna and her teammates were scheduled to play at an amateur tournament.

They were among nine lives that were lost in the heartbreaking accident in Calabasas, California.

After years of hard work in school to obtain a certificate as a tertiary graduate, Mubarhiq had hoped that he could share his remarkable accomplishment with his mother.

However, the young graduate noted in a tweet that his mother could not travel from Tamale in the Norther region to witness one of the important days of his life to capture moments and history together.
