"Class act showing respect to a legend's family" - WNBA Fans praise Caitlin Clark for sharing heartfelt moment with Kobe Bryant's daughters

Caitlin Clark had a heartfelt moment with Kobe Bryant's daughters at the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game. Vanessa Bryant and her daughters were at courtside to show their support to Team USA and Team WNBA. Before his death, Kobe was one of the biggest advocates for women's basketball.

In a post by WNBA on X, formerly known as Twitter, Clark shared a moment with Vanessa and her daughters Natalia, Bianka and Capri. The Indiana Fever star showed off her Nike Kobe 6 Protro "WNBA All-Star PE," which she received as a gift from the Bryant family.

Capri was also wearing the same pair of shoes with pink and green colorway. However, fans should be disappointed to know that the Nike Kobe 6 Protro "WNBA All-Star PE" won't be available for retail.

Here's the video of the interaction:

WNBA fans reacted to the heartwarming moment between Caitlin Clark and Kobe Bryant's family, who has been an advocate of the women's game for a long time. Some just love that they are still showing support to players and the league that has been gaining popularity this season.

"Class act showing respect to a legend's family," one fan wrote.

"Mamba would've loved CC so much man," another fan replied.

"The Queen V of L.A with the princess of WNBA. Very nice to see !!" a fan responded.

Caitlin Clark has been great for the WNBA, with attendance and ratings through the roof. Clark also made her first All-Star Game and should remain an ambassador for the sport just like the Kobe Bryant and his family.

"She is something special and so good for the WNBA," a fan claimed.

"Caitlin has really grown on me. She's a good role model. I really respect her drive and heart," one fan commented.

"This is pretty cool. I still think of Gigi and what her future would've been," another fan remarked.

Caitlin Clark makes history at 2024 WNBA All-Star Game

Caitlin Clark might be a rookie but that didn't stop her from making history in the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game. Clark struggled with her shot for the entire game and finished with just four points, but broke the rookie record for most assists in a WNBA All-Star Game with 10.

Clark was dishing out in the first half and already had nine midway through the third quarter. She was one assist away from tying the WNBA record held by Sue Bird, but Arike Ogunbowale was just on fire. It was an amazing display for the Dallas Wings star, who was named the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game MVP.

With the All-Star Weekend out of the way, Clark and the rest of the league will get about a month of rest and preparation for the second half of the season. Team USA will start their quest for another gold later this month at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
