Another Terrible Loss For The Bryant Family, Sending Prayers

The widow of Kobe, Vanessa Bryant, posted on Instagram Tuesday, “Sending our condolences upon hearing the news of my father-in-law’s passing.” “We wished things were different. Despite our little interactions, he was always kind. Kobe deeply loved him.”

La Salle star Joe Bryant averaged 20.8 points per game for two seasons. He became a professional player in the US and internationally. The Golden State Warriors drafted him in the first round of 1975, but the Philadelphia 76ers took him.
