Today is Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Bryant's 19th wedding anniversary, so Vanessa posted a moving tribute on Instagram which included a picture of her and the Lakers legend.

Vanessa's caption was the following statement:

My king, my heart, my best friend. Happy 19th wedding anniversary baby. I miss you so much. I wish you were here to hold me in your arms. I love you. ❤️

It still doesn't seem real that Kobe is no longer with us. The Lakers icon and his daughter Gigi are severely missed.

Bryant was named an NBA Hall of Famer a few weekends ago. As we all know, Kobe is the greatest player in Lakers franchise history and universally recognized as the second-best shooting guard in NBA history behind only his idol–Michael Jordan.

Kobe finished his Lakers career with five championships, two Finals MVPs and one regular-season MVP. The Black Mamba averaged 25.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 1,346 games with the Lakers.
