Inter vice president Javier Zanetti has taken to photo sharing social media platform Instagram to mourn the tragic loss of NBA basketball superstar Kobe Bryant.

Bryant, alongside eight others, including his teenage daughter Gianna, died in a helicopter accident in Calabasas, California, USA, over the weekend and Zanetti has become the latest sporting star to pay tribute to one of widely regarded best basketball players to have ever lived.

Inter players Romelu Lukaku and Diego Godin have both also paid tribute to the two time NBA MVP.

“Legends are forever,” Zanetti posted.
