It seems like New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu has been having a blast with the family of Kobe Bryant on TikTok. Ionescu took to her personal TikTok page to share some of the fun that she, Natalia Bryant, and Vanessa Bryant were having recently.

It's safe to say that viewers' hearts were warmed as they watch the Bryant family enjoy themselves after dealing with the devastating loss of NBA legend Kobe Bryant in January. Kobe Bryant and Ionescu had become close friends in only a short matter of time starting back in 2019 after Bryant had attended one of Ionescu's games when she was a member of Oregon women's basketball team.

Bryant began training Ionescu, who also had formed a close friendship with the late Gianna Bryant as well, making the loss of both Gigi and Kobe a heavy burden on the young guard.

Ionescu turned in a decent performance with the Liberty this season, though it was limited. She averaged 18.3 points along with 4.7 rebounds and four assists through three games before suffering an ankle injury.

Without question, Kobe Bryant continues to be a huge inspiration for Ionescu in her career.
