Naomi Osaka, who recently won a three-time Grand Slam tournament, has an affinity for American basketball. At the press conference after her 1: 6, 6: 3, 6: 3 against Victoria Azarenka in the final of the US Open 2020, the Japanese appeared in the jersey of Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash earlier this year. The basketball world was ripping off - and at least two of the most prominent representatives of the NBA - past and present - sent warm congratulations to Osaka. And of course the tennis scene didn't stop there either.
