It is very common to see retired NBA great Kobe Bryant take in a WNBA game—particularly at the Staples Center to see the Sparks.
In the above new ad, though, he’s not as much talking about his own fandom of the league as much as he’s mentioning that of his daughters.
My 11 year-old daughter, she has the WNBA app on her phone, and she’s constantly checking the scores, she’s looking at the box scores, she’s looking at the highlights.

Now as a girl, you grow up, you play basketball, you’re like, my goal, my ambition is to be a WNBA player. I want to be a champion like Coop, I want to be a champion like Diana.
Only fitting that the latest WNBA ad featuring a basketball luminary is by someone who knows a little bit about winning championships—particularly with the playoffs right around the corner.
