Before his death in January of 2020, Kobe Bean Bryant was achieving great success in his post-basketball life.
He was spending with his family, enjoying the NBA as a spectator, and even won an Oscar for his animated short film, “Dear Basketball.”
And while we never got the chance to see what else Kobe could do with so much free time, his legacy and habit of success has been succeeded by his kids and, most recently, Natalia, who just graduated from Sage Hill High School.

To commemorate the occasion, Natalia had her graduation cap stitched with a quote from her late father:
“Everything negative ― pressures, challenges ― is all an opportunity for me to rise.”

The Bryant family has shown extraordinary strength since the passing of Kobe and Gigi, and it’s good to see them succeed in spite of all the hardships they’ve had to deal with.
No doubt, it will be awesome to see how else Natalia and the rest of the family are able to impact the world over the next few years and decades.
