SNL host JJ Watt honored Kobe Bryant during the show's goodbyes, and it was incredibly sweet.
While the tragedy wasn't directly addressed, host J.J. Watt and some of the show's cast members used the closing credits to memorialize the late icon.
While sharing his thanks to the cast and crew, Watt rocked a Los Angeles Lakers jersey featuring Bryant's number, 24. He also crumpled up a note card and tossed it like a free throw. Meanwhile, cast members Melissa Villaseñor and Chris Redd followed his cue. Villaseñor donned Lakers sweater while Redd wore a t-shirt featuring Bryant's image.
It was a sweet, unintrusive way to pay respects in a manner that felt honest and genuine, and many fans took notice of the sweet moment.
