Just a two days after Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, tragically died in a helicopter crash late last month, the term “girl dad” became a thing. It was born out of a tribute from ESPN anchor Elle Duncan in which she shared a personal story of meeting Kobe. At the time she was eight months pregnant, and the story goes that Kobe showed interest in how she was doing and asked what she was having. After telling him it would be a girl, Duncan said, Kobe was beaming and raved about being the father of four girls and declared, “I am a girl dad.” After Duncan’s telling of that story aired on “SportsCenter,” #GirlDad went viral , with athletes and celebrities sharing photos of themselves with their daughters to honor Kobe and Gianna
