Kobe Bryant's Wife Shares Heartful Picture With Her Husband on Their 20th Anniversary

It's been a little more than a year since the NBA legend and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Maria-Onore, along with seven others, died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California. The crash left Bryant's three other daughters - Natalia, 17, Bianka, 3, and Capri, an infant, - without a father.
