Neymar Jr. Pays Tribute to Kobe Bryant After Scoring Penalty in Last Night’s Win

in LifestyleWords By Fabian Gorsler

Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna were among those tragically killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California on Sunday. Among the outpouring of support — which has seen everyone from fans, celebrities, and fellow sports stars pay tribute to the late Lakers legend and his daughter — Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar Jr. honored the five-time NBA champion during his side’s game against Lille on Sunday night.

After scoring his second goal of the match, a penalty in the 52nd minute, Neymar Jr. celebrated by putting up two and four fingers on each hand in a nod to the Lakers star’s famous number 24 jersey. Watch below.

Neymar also scored PSG’s first goal in the 2-0 win against Lille, though reports suggest Neymar only found out about Bryant’s death at half-time, thus honoring him with his second celebration of the night.

Watch highlights from the match below.
