Tennis star Nick Kyrgios honored two NBA greats with some new ink.
Kyrgios, who's a big basketball fan, took to Instagram this week to show off his tattoo sleeve and tributes to Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.
"I definitely wanted to get something in memory of (Bryant)," Kyrgios said in an Instagram video. "Obviously, me being an athlete, we can never really emulate what he did, but there can be moments where we try."
Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, died along with seven others in a helicopter crash on Jan. 26.
