André posts a throwback picture of him and his dad and jabs a few jokes in.

 

|| today is the birthday of this AWESOME guy! Happy birthday dad! You really are my superman. I really wish I was back home to spend this special day with you. We've been through so much and I'm so grateful that we're still standing tall. I miss you so much and I love you! Again happy birthday pops! || ???????????? ||

Kobe's greeting was a bit more sentimental because of his distance from his father, but you know what they say, "Distance makes the heart grow fonder."
