Za’Darius Smith, Davante Adams pay respects to Kobe Bryant during Pro Bowl

Both the Packers stars paid tribute to fallen NBA star Kobe Bryant during the 2020 Pro Bowl.

Outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith and receiver Davante Adams both paid tribute to fallen NBA legend Kobe Bryant during Sunday’s Pro Bowl in Orlando.

Bryant, a five-time NBA champion, died Sunday in a helicopter crash near Los Angeles.

Smith joined NFC teammates in a jump shot celebration after the Packers outside linebacker delivered a strip-sack of Deshaun Watson. Smith told ESPN’s Lisa Salters that it was a planned celebration after the team heard the tragic news in the locker room.

Later, Adams caught a touchdown pass and immediately held up a “2” and a “4” to honor Bryant, who wore the No. 24 with the Los Angeles Lakers. He then performed a 360 dunk on the goalpost.

“Kobe always meant something special to me,” Adams, a California native, told Salters.
