“Saddening moment for the world of sports. An inspiration, an icon, an everlasting winner you have been for so many athletes,” Mkhitaryan said in a Twitter post.
“We will miss you Kobe,” he added.
Kobe Bryant, the 18-time NBA All-Star who won five championships and became one of the greatest basketball players of his generation during a 20-year career spent entirely with the Los Angeles Lakers, died in a helicopter crash Sunday. He was 41.
