The squad paid their respects to the NBA star, his daughter Gianna and those that died on Sunday

Before starting training on Tuesday, Barcelona's squad held a minute's silence in memory of the basketball legend Kobe Bryant, who passed away on Sunday. 

Bryant, 41, died in a helicopter crash on Sunday in California. One of his four daughters also died in the incident, along with a number of other people on the helicopter. There were no survivors. 

The Barça players also paid their respects to Bryant's daughter, Gianna, and the other people that died in the crash in Calabasas (California).

Bryant had declared himself a Barcelona fan on several occasions in the past thanks to Ronaldinho and, later, Lionel Messi. He visited the squad on a recent tour to the United States.
