Anthony Davis has led the Los Angeles Lakers to a championship alongside LeBron James, putting him in the same category as Lakers legends like Kobe Bryant.
Like many players in his generation, Davis deeply admired Kobe, and he recently shared the story of his favorite memory involving the Black Mamba.
“Yeah, Kob, that’s my boy man, I have so many man,” Anthony Davis said. “My favorite Kobe memory is when I have a video of it, I was at his gym Mamba Academy and I just had my daughter. I was working out and he was there that day, she was maybe 7 months.
“And he grabbed her. She never really wants anybody but she just had so much joy and she was so happy, smiling, laughing, with him. And that was just so dope for me to see, someone who has all girls and Mambacitas, you know, basketball-wise. He was able to make her smile, make her laugh, she was just in a joyful space.”
"I just had my daughter. Going to the gym, I was working out and he was there… he grabbed her. She never really wants anybody… but she was so happy smiling, laughing with him."

This is a beautiful story that Anthony Davis shared, and it goes to show what a gentle soul Kobe Bryant was. He had five daughters, one of whom, Gianna, tragically passed away in the same helicopter crash as him.
Kobe Bryant will always be remembered for his NBA achievements, but he was a family man and a big supporter of women in sports. Anthony Davis’ daughter, Nala, may not remember this interaction, but she will surely cherish it when she grows up enough to watch the video and understand it.
Anthony Davis And Kobe Bryant Shared A Unique Relationship
Kobe Bryant wasn’t able to watch Anthony Davis win it all with the Lakers, but he always believed in him. In 2014, he said that Davis had what it took to become one of the greatest power forwards ever. But they also had a friendly relationship, like the time Kobe roasted Davis about his unibrow.
Davis has tried to follow in Kobe’s footsteps with the Lakers, and he recently became the first Laker since Kobe to have back-to-back 40-point games. This memory will surely live long with Davis and his family, and he hopes to continue doing Kobe proud by achieving more success with the Lakers.
