The tragedy struck even harder as his daughter Gianna Bryant and seven others in the helicopter didn’t survive the crash either. In fact, it is news nobody can fathom to date. However, people have found a way to celebrate his legacy instead of mourning his death. And this is not just limited to NBA players, but other athletes as well, including football star Neymar Jr.

Everybody knows that Paris Saint-Germain striker Neymar Jr. is a tattoo fanatic. He is known for his intriguing choices, including the likes of superheroes like Superman, Batman, and Goku. However, last year in December, Neymar got something to remember Kobe by. The quote that he got etched on his right thigh was one of Kobe’s most famous quotes.

In a bold and huge font, the tattoo reads, “People don’t understand how obsessed I am with winning.” It was probably something that the star footballer relates to as well. And once again, he took to Instagram to flaunt what was a tribute to Bryant.
