Kobe Bryant & Pau Gasol

Congrats #PauGasol on your well-deserved Lakers jersey retirement.

“I don’t win those championships without Pau. We know that, everybody knows that.” - Kobe Bryant

Kobe saying he’s forever going to be my brother in Spanish and than pau at the end saying he’s going to be a good uncle to Kobe’s daughters speaks volumes man

Kobe always gave flowers to those that deserved them and respected those who came prior to him, pure class

[Cloudson]

"First play, I'm running through Pau's f***in' chest." All because Kobe wanted to give Pau the utmost respect by playing at his best, but since it's Kobe he did it in his own way. Pure savagry, but it's all love. Thanks to Kobe for all the good times and memories you've given all of us, taken way too soon.

It was an absolute pleasure to finally see a teammate match Kobe's work ethic.

Kobe Bryant was the NBA. And the game will never be the same.

Pau at the end there gave me goosebumps. #Wholesome

One of the greatest duos in NBA history. Rip mamba and gigi ❤️

[briansampson]

Everyone talks about Kobe and Shaq who was amazing, which won 3 rings but Kobe and Gasol is probably the most underrated one two punch in not just Lakers history, but in NBA history as well. They won 2 in a row and went to 3 or 4 finals

Kobe was truly tough on Gasol but he really loved and admired him for being the few to have the heart and to have the grit necessary to be a champion. He made pau see his true potential and take it to the next level.

Finding out he named his daughter after Gianna literally brought tears to my eyes

[MeezyTubee]

"He's just a great person" Kobe appreciated Pau more as a friend than anything. ❤

[CaliVibes]

[hockster]

Wow thats so cool. Total respect from Kobe to Pau Gasol, and from Pau back to Kobe. Giannas name is the ultimate respect to Kobe and his legacy. Total respect alround. And my respect level for Pau has skyrocketed .. ARE U WATCHNG THIS PIPPEN??? Its all about RESPECT.

[wickedlefty]

Damn, I'm still so sad about Kobe & the amazing person we lost.

[Colin_Robinson_EV]

[jaredhardman]

Gasol was so underrated... he was excellent

[violenthippo]

Not only a Kobe Tribute, also Pau‘s, but damn propably one of the Top 5 Kobe Shorts ever 🔥 Good Job, Sir 🤝🫡♥️

Him saying he named his Daughter after Gianna to honor her and her father, thats elite 🥺

[Twin_shawn]

Wow I didn't know paul named his daughter after kobe daughter 😢❤

[tylersawyer]

I really miss Kobe….he was the most influential person in my life I’ve never actually met…

[Wookienpals]

Pau was the perfect compliment to Kobe Bryant’s personality. He understood the task and he was utterly professional about it. Kobe almost made a second 3 peat happen because of Pau. I genuinely think people forget that….
