How Nick Kyrgios Paid Tribute To Kobe Bryant
As you can see in the twitter post, Nick Kyrgios got a tattoo. This tattoo is of the Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant and is Kyrgiosâ way of paying tribute to one of the greatest basketballers of all time. An absolutely amazing way to do it.
While Nick got a tattoo of Kobe Bryant, he also got a tattoo for another player. Coincidentally, he also plays for the Los Angeles Lakers. You guessed it â it is LeBron James. Just like the Kobe Bryant tattoo, this one also looks amazing.

This tattoo was not the only tribute Kyrgios gave to Kobe Bryant. In the photo above, you can see Nick wearing Kobe Bryantâs jersey at the Australian Open 2020. He wore it in his 4th round match against Rafael Nadal when he was warming up.
While many people dislike Nick Kyrgiosâ demeanor, nobody can deny that his tributes to Kobe Bryant were absolutely amazing. In fact, I believe we are seeing a change in Nick Kyrgios from the controversial player he once was. We saw this change at the 2020 Australian Open.
Many players like Rafael Nadal praised him for this change. And this change will allow him to become the best player he can be and will enable him to win some big titles. I am sure Nick wants to win those titles.

Unfortunately, he will have to wait as the ATP tour has been suspended. When the tour resumes in July, hopefully, we will see the reformed Nick Kyrgios chasing the biggest titles in tennis.
