A picture of Capri Bryant, the 4-year-old daughter of the deceased Kobe Bryant, went trending after she was photographed glaring sternly toward the Atlanta Braves dugout during the latest MLB match. The picture was captured during a game between the Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
Her mother, Vanessa Bryant, shared a picture of the 4-year-old on Instagram, donning a white Nike t-shirt, with her hair styled as a pin-up afro. Her look was stern, so much so that netizens claimed she got that look from Mamba himself. Kobe’s fans are cognizant of how intimidating his stares are, and they wonder whether it is in their blood.

A fan said on X, “Nah man WNBA better watch out in the future because that’s that 81 look”, indicating her rigid gaze.
Some people on social media interpreted Capri’s look as a sign of disdain. On the other hand, there were even solicits for WNBA players to be vigilant of their facial expressions when competing against the Dodgers. Others said it was silly of them to point it out in such way, claiming that Capri’s look was simply a reaction to the game and that it was inappropriate to read too much into it.
