After losing their wild card round playoff matchup to the Baltimore Ravens, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be watching the 2024 NFL Championship Games from the comfort of their homes. But football isn’t the only important occurrence on Jan. 26, as Sunday also happens to be the five-year anniversary of Kobe and Gigi Bryant’s tragic death. As a result, Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson shared a heartfelt tribute to them on social media.
Kobe and Gigi passed away after being involved in a helicopter accident on the way to one of her basketball games. Ever since then, an outpouring of support has come in for the Bryant family, and it still has not slowed down to this day. Wilson still feels their loss everyday, which resulted in him posting a tribute to them on Sunday.
“Kobe & Gigi Psalm 147:3 ‘He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds,’" Wilson said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
