“8/24. Happy Kobe Bryant day💛💜I was never really into sports. Then I started watching the lakers games. I cheered more for Kobe than anyone else in my life.”

Then the singer & actress shared the story of the signed LA jersey she got from Bryant as a gift in return to a signed Gabriella – Hudgens’ character in ‘High School Musical’ – doll:
“Yearssss ago I got a call saying Kobe wanted a signed Gabriella doll for one of his daughters. Geeking out I said of course… I would also really love a signed jersey 😂#mambamentality #mambaforever @lakers”
