On the second day of All-Star Weekend, Goodwin's family arrived early at Madison Square Garden. Today, it was not just Goodwin, one superstar, who had come to the arena—many of the NBA's other stars had also arrived with their families.
Even retired legendary stars Tim Duncan and Kobe Bryant appeared at the venue on the second day of the NBA All-Star Game with their families.
Kobe Bryant's wife, Vanessa, came to watch with their adorable children, including their eldest daughter Natalia and second daughter Gianna.
Their youngest daughter, Bianca Bella, was still too young and had been left at home, just like Grado.

At that moment, Alissa and Danielle were happily playing with Kobe Bryant's two daughters, the children's bell-like laughter echoing through the arena.
Goodwin, wearing a broad smile and looking a little smug, teased Kobe Bryant, "Hey, Kobe Bryant, look at your happy little family! But you'd better work harder—make sure the fourth one is a boy!"
In fact, because Kobe Bryant had chosen to retire two years earlier than in his previous life, that change had also brought the birth of his third daughter, Bianca Bella, forward by two years.
Originally, Goodwin and Kobe Bryant had been fellow sufferers, since both of them had first been blessed with two caring little daughters.
However, when Goodwin welcomed his third child, fate smiled upon him at last and granted him the son he had wished for.
That left Kobe Bryant alone to continue his difficult journey of trying for a son, while his third child was still an adorable little princess.
Hearing Goodwin's teasing, Kobe Bryant rolled his eyes at him irritably, but quickly regained his usual composure.
Then Kobe Bryant smiled and replied, "Hmph, don't be so quick to laugh at me, Goodwin.
