Picture: Thuram’s tribute to Kobe Bryant as Inter win 21st Scudetto
Inter striker Marcus Thuram paid tribute to NBA legend Kobe Bryant on Instagram while celebrating the Nerazzurri’s Scudetto victory.
Inter star Thuram recreated one of Kobe Bryant’s iconic photos on social media while celebrating the club’s 21st Scudetto in the dressing room on Sunday.
Thuram had scored the opening goal in a 2-0 win over Parma, which allowed the Nerazzurri to win the Scudetto with three games to spare.
Right after the match, Thuram posted an Instagram picture showing him with two Scudetto trophies, those he won during his time at the Stadio Meazza.
It was an edited picture as Inter will only lift the 2025-26 Scudetto trophy after the final matchday, but his pose was a tribute to the iconic picture of NBA legend Kobe Bryant taken in June 2001 after the Los Angeles Lakers had beaten the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 5 in Philadelphia.
