Kobe Bryant's Wife Gives Birth to Couple's First Child
LOS ANGELES — Lakers star Kobe Bryant missed practice, but he had a good reason: his wife was giving birth to the couple's first child.
Trainer Gary Vitti said Bryant called him early yesterday to say his wife, Vanessa, had gone into labor. Daughter Natalia was born a few hours later.
Twenty-four year-old Bryant is still expected to play today at the Staples Center against the Clippers.
Teammate Shaquille O'Neal, already a father with another child on the way, said he thinks Bryant will do just fine as a father.
