Djokovic pays tribute to Kobe Bryant with a T-shirt after winning Grand Slam No. 24. “Kobe was a close friend, we talked a lot about the winning mentality when I was struggling with injuries and trying to make a comeback.” What happened a few years ago when he and his daughter died hurt me deeply. I thought: 24 is the jersey he wore when he became a legend of the Lakers and world basketball, so it could be a nice, symbolic thing to recognize him for all the things he did.”
