Kobe Bryant’s Love of Being A ‘Girl Dad’ Inspires Thousands of Men On Social Media (TWEETS)

Fathers across the globe are paying tribute to Kobe Bryant by celebrating their relationships with their daughters.

This was all brought about after ESPN’s Elle Duncan shared a moving story while she anchored “SportsCenter” on Monday night about how proud Bryant was of being a father to his daughters.

“I would have five more girls if I could,” Duncan recalled Bryant saying. “I’m a girl dad.”

Soon after, the hastag “Girl dad” started trending because fathers began posting photographs of themselves with their daughters as a way of remembering the 41-year-old NBA legend who died along with his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, and seven others in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California, on Sunday.
