Bryant tragically died in a helicopter crash last weekend alongside his 13-year-old daughter GiGi and seven others.
On the night of the incident PSG were playing Lille in the league, and after Neymar converted a penalty he paid tribute to the LA Lakers legend while celebrating.
Since then the 27-year-old has decided to dye his hair pink.
Fans were left stunned with the drastic switch in colour, but it is the latest in a long line of questionable haircuts Neymar has shown off.
The Brazilian has scored in seven consecutive Ligue 1 matches, netting nine times during the run.
Despite rumours he was pursuing a move back to Barcelona – who sold the attacker to PSG for a record £198million in 2017 – it is claimed Neymar is not settled in the French capital again.
And the superstar revealed he wants to win the Champions League with PSG, pouring cold water on suggestions he is ready to walk out on the French champions.
Neymar said: “We know we have quality and we hope we can be amongst the finalists.
“My objective is to win everything I can with Paris Saint Germain and the Brazilian national team.
“To get to the Champions League final, win the Copa America and look for new challenges”.
