Sabrina Ionescu's Emotional Encounter With The Bryant Family Captures Hearts Amidst Gold Medal Win

It was a defensive slugfest on the basketball court, but the United States came out victorious after defeating France 67-66, claiming their 8th straight gold medal. One of the greatest Olympic teams and dynasties of all time.

However, the moment that was captured after the victory was one that stood out. Right when the buzzer struck and the clock hit triple zero's, USA guard Sabrina Ionescu ran over to share a moment with Vanessa and the entire Bryant family.

Ionescu has had a great relationship with the late Kobe Bryant and all of his girls, dating back to her time at Oregon. That core moment is one that will be remembered for a long time. Especially with it being her first gold medal.

She finished the game with three assists and two rebounds, coming off the bench. A'ja Wilson led all scorers with 21 points. She also added 13 rebounds, which was a game high.

An historic moment for Team USA to cap off an incredible run and continue their Olympic dominance. Although the moments afterwards are those core values you never forget, and Ionescu shared one with the Bryant's.
