    So beautiful to hear Pau express how he felt about Kobe and what each meant to the other. Their bond transcends sports - it was about the genuine human connection which really translates to love of the highest order. I remember when Pau was being interviewed after his first game as a Laker, and Kobe came by shouting, "A mi me gusta mucho!" The appreciation was there from the start. We miss Kobe, but at least we have Pau keeping his memory alive.

I know the Kobe and Shaq era was more dominant but I can’t explain why, but I really loved watching Kobe and Pau work together and have that great three-year run they had from 2008 to 2010. Kobe has said it many times that he would not have had the success in the second part of his career without Pau Gasol. Once he joined Kobe, Kobe won the league MVP that year and they went to the finals three years in a row and won back to back championships. I really hope they retire Gasol’s jersey as well because he so deserves it. Great video and My heart goes out to Pau, The rest of Kobe‘s former teammates and friends and especially Vanessa and her children. Rest in peace Kobe and Gigi.

      Are you kidding me? ? When he was playing with Shaq, Shaq carried him around like a baby on his back and they were calling one another brother's They were hugging one another, I'm not trying to diminish what you're saying. But Kobe just like you and I have had plenty of friends in our lives that we've called Brothers. but let's not make this seem like he was the only thing to Kobe and nobody else was because that's not true.

      You know I also want to say this it's nice to talk to somebody civilly and not be going back and forth with one another, you have an opinion and I have one and I do appreciate you're just like I appreciate mine and that's basically all they are our opinions, but I just don't want us to diminish the fact that Kobe had great relationship with a lot of guys in the league and outside the league.

    This was a life-changing existential event. It is hard to describe how impacting it is even for strangers. I have to make myself skip over videos and articles. There is a collective sadness about this. The family is in my prayers, as well as the other passengers on the helicopter.
    Mr. Gasol....what an excellent friend you are. Prayers and blessings for you too.

    Listening to pau feels so comforting since he was Kobe’s right hand man and they both had an amazing relationship. Wow, I haven’t even finished watching the entire video of pau and I can say that he is a very loyal and wonderful friend to have. He is one hell of a good support systems and definitely a mentor. Much love gasol
