Inter centre back Diego Godin has taken to photo sharing social media platform Instagram to pay tribute to late basketball superstar Kobe Bryant.

Bryant, who is widely regarded as one of the best basketball players of all time, tragically lost his life in a helicopter crash at the weekend.

Bryant spent his entire career with the Los Angeles Lakers and won two MVP awards, was a five time NBA champion and an 18 time NBA all star.

“Very shocked by the death of a sports legend like Kobe Bryant, his daughter and the other people travelling in the helicopter. Terrible tragedy RIP,” he posted.
