In January 2020, Beckham penned a moving tribute following Kobe's death. He praised the NBA icon for his incomparable sportsmanship, which allowed him to play through the pain of injury. Beckham said it made him want to be a better athlete.
The soccer star also noted the devastation of Gianna having also lost her life, adding that Kobe often spoke with pride about his family. Beckham struggled to share his emotions as he explained through his caption:
“It’s taken me hours to work out what to write and still my words won’t ever be enough to describe how I am feeling after the tragic loss of Kobe.”
Fans of basketball, athletes, and world leaders were left heartbroken following the announcement of Kobe's death in January 2020. Kobe, his daughter Gianni, and 7 other passengers perished in a helicopter crash just outside Calabasas, California.
Kobe was celebrated and considered one of the most distinguished players of the NBA game in history, as noted by the stream of tributes that flooded multiple social media platforms following his demise.
Soccer greats including Barcelona's Lionel Messi, Paris Saint-Germain's Neymar da Silva Santos, and Juventus' Cristiano Ronaldo were among the athletes who paid their respects to Kobe.
