The advice Vanessa Bryant gave the 6-foot-4 standout seemed to work. The Sky clinched the league championship 80-74, and Parker contributed 16 points, 13 rebounds, five assists and four steals.
This is Parker’s second WNBA title. Her first came in 2016 when she was a member of the Los Angeles Sparks.
Kobe Bryant’s “Mamba Mentality” is a legendary aspect of his legacy. It has inspired many people, not just basketball players or other athletes, but also people from all walks of life to perform their best under pressure.
After retiring in 2016, Kobe Bryant became a big advocate for WNBA players and women’s sports in general. He was also a proud father of four daughters and loved to call himself a “girl dad.”
