Vanessa Bryant reacts after Kobe Bryant's video celebrating Eagles' Super Bowl triumph with daughter resurfaces

Kobe Bryant was born and raised in Philadelphia and was a big fan of the city's NFL team. He was delighted when the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl in 2018, and a video of his celebrations resurfaced on X.

Basketball fan page Hoops Central shared a throwback video of Bryant celebrating the win at home with his family.

The video showed the former Laker giddy with excitement as his favorite football team won its first-ever championship. Bryant carried his daughter Bianka in his arms.

Kobe Bryant's widow, Vanessa Bryant, re-shared the throwback video in her Instagram stories.

"When Kobe celebrated his Eagles winning the Super Bowl in 2018," she captioned the post.

The Philadelphia Eagles waited almost 60 years for their first-ever Super Bowl though they won three championships before the merger of the NFL and AFL.

Speaking to ESPN a few days after the Eagles' win, Bryant explained his reaction.

"The spirit of the Eagle took a hold of me and I just could not contain myself, but I had to because I was holding a little one-year-old," Bryant said.

Five years later, the Eagles won their second ring, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs. Jalen Hurts was named Super Bowl MVP.

Kobe Bryant once gave a pep talk to the Eagles

During a West Coast road trip in December 2017, the Philadelphia Eagles received a visit from Kobe Bryant during one of their practices. The five-time NBA champion gave the team a pep talk in an attempt to help them gather momentum heading into the final weeks of the season.

"Focus on the detail and the small little things, how to execute, execute, execute," Bryant said, according to Sports Illustrated. "Go over those things so much, and download them so much in your mind, that when you step out on the field to perform you can forget about them, because they’re just naturally there. That was the big message."

Bryant was not the only NBA player who supported the Eagles. Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and Kyle Lowry are all fans of the NFL franchise.
