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.
