Candace Parker already won the hearts of every WNBA fan with her excellent performance that led the Chicago Sky to a Championship. Some fans even gave her the title of being the greatest of all time in the WNBA. The former Los Angeles Sparks star shared stardom with Kobe Bryant for the longest time.
They both led the two Los Angeles franchises for a considerably long time. So it was natural that they would eventually get in touch with each other. And rightly so, Kobe mentored Parker and even helped her improve her footwork. Making the two share a special relationship as the crème de la crème of Basketball in Los Angeles.
Therefore, even after Kobe’s unfortunate death, Parker keeps in touch with the Bryant family. To this day, she spends time with Kobe’s daughters.
