Beijing time March 7, today is the Lakers famous O'Neill 50th birthday, the Lakers official update social media for O'Neal to celebrate the birthday, and Kobe's widow Vanessa also has a new dynamic, then I will take you to understand the specific situation. Vanessa retweeted the Lakers' update to send her best wishes to O'Neill: I was 17 years old and attended your birthday party!
I believe that everyone is no stranger to the "OK combination", Kobe Bryant and O'Neal, the "OK combination" has helped the Lakers win three consecutive championships and create a Lakers dynasty. Although the "OK group" was broken up shortly after winning the triple crown, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal also won a brilliant career, and the two sides were often in contact after retiring.
Kobe Bryant and O'Neal have participated in talk shows together, and the scene where Kobe Bryant jokes that he has one more championship than O'Neal has become a classic picture. Unfortunately, when O'Neill celebrated his 50th birthday, Kobe Bryant was unable to celebrate O'Neill's birthday in person. However, Kobe's widow Vanessa did not forget Kobe's friend, and she sent birthday wishes to O'Neill this time.
Vanessa updated her personal social media, and she retweeted the Lakers' birthday celebrations for O'Neill with the caption, "Happy Birthday, O'Neill." I remember when I was 17 years old, I went to the club with Kobe Bryant for your birthday party. Time flies so fast and Happy 50th Birthday! ”
Vanessa's words instantly pulled the fans' memories back to 22 years ago. After all, Vanessa said she had attended O'Neill's birthday party when she was 17, and Vanessa is now 39 (won't turn 40 until May), which means that Vanessa attended O'Neill's birthday party 22 years ago, 2000.
Kobe Bryant and Vanessa were not yet married, and Kobe and O'Neal also won their first championship that year. Bryant took Vanessa, who was only 17 years old, to O'Neill's birthday party, which was also an acknowledgement of Vanessa's identity to everyone. For Vanessa, O'Neill's birthday party in 2000 must have had extraordinary significance.
But Vanessa was able to celebrate O'Neill's birthday not only because O'Neill was Kobe's friend, but more importantly, after Kobe's accident, O'Neill called Vanessa at the first time, saying that no matter what difficulties she encountered with the children, she only needed to call him, then he would do everything he could to help them.
As the so-called "suffering sees the truth", O'Neill's warm heart-warming move not only won the praise of the fans, but also made Vanessa, who was isolated and helpless at the time, feel warm. Now Vanessa is sending birthday wishes to O'Neill, and especially talking about her 17-year-old and Kobe Bryant's birthday party at O'Neill, such a harmonious atmosphere really moved many fans!
