During his college days, Grasu showcased his talent with the Oregon Ducks and earned the honor of being named First Team All-American in both 2013 and 2014. He was also a three-time First-Team All-Pac from 2012 to 2014.

Sabrina Ionescu and her personal relationship with Kobe and Gigi Bryant
Sabrina Ionescu has a special bond with the Bryant family and she even had one-on-one training sessions with Kobe. During the untimely death of the five-time NBA champion and his daughter, Ionescu delivered a memorable speech at their memorial, highlighting their impact on her life and basketball journey.
“He was giving me the blueprint. He was giving Gigi the same blueprint. He united us. He made it so that the outsiders who outworked everyone else, who were driven to be just a little bit different every single day to make those around them, behind them and above them a little bit better every single day. And they weren’t the exception. They were the rule.” Ionescu said in 2021.
When Ionescu announced her engagement with Hroniss Grasu, Vanessa Bryant was the first to react. Up to now, the two-time WNBA All-Star still finds ways to honor Kobe and Gigi during her games.
