And pau is still there for Vanessa and the Bryant kids. Wonderful guy. Touching video

Pau is the definition of a real one

Pau Gasol was Family to Kobe.

A good uncle to his daughters and a good brother to his wife... He got me there. Got goosebumps and something got in my eye...

I was about to cry. Then SAS's voice scared the emotion out of me

Kobe grew up in Europe with his dad playing in Italy, so he closer to his euro teammates. Two of the best

that teared me up. still cant get over my fav player of all time passing like that

Who chopping onions 😞

Hey ESPN, Whoever team made this - please give them a raise. This is the beautiful Content we like.

Huge respect to Pau. He was one of the few guys that had the personality and talent to play alongside Kobe.

For us, the Spanish people, Kobe will always have a place in our hearts. He won two championships with our Pau and, on the other hand, he led the Team USA against our national team in Beijing 2008 and London 2012. He defeated us but, at the end of the day, it was a situation what we felt proud of, for the greatness of the Spanish team and for the great rivalry with the States. Great memories, no doubts.

"I think the city of L.A. didn't really appreciate what he did and what we had." -Kobe Bryant

Rest In Peace to the Goat

it was more than just being teammates , they were brothers and they were there for each other kobe was there for him at the finals and now pau is there for him now

Heartbreaking still can't believe he gone 😥

If Kobe and Shaq had a Kobe and Pau relationship they woulda won 8 rings easily. Kobe and Pau is one of my favorite dous all time for on and off the court reasons

The best UNDERRATED duo’s of all time!

Kobe and Pau... Are the definition of brotherhood... And to step up the way Pau did for the Bryant family.... Is beyond words.... God bless them.... Kobe gone, but not forgotten... Lakers nation 4life ✌️

Kobe and Pau are my favorite duo ever.

Miss these two together!

Pau is a remarkable human being and I love that brotherhood they shared

🥺 R.I.P MAMBA...basketball will never be the same for me

Growing up Pau was my favorite player on the Lakers. He always seemed like a great and genuine guy, I’m glad he’s kept that up. If there’s is a heaven I hope Kobe is smiling down, because Pau is a real one and an amazing friend

Pau probably only one say and do. others just say no do's. Love this guy. really man/brother/friend to Kobe's family

Lakers should retire #16 and place it beside kobe's numbers

Yes pau big time saved Kobe’s legacy in game 7 against the Celtics. That was a great game. Coming from a Celtics fan.

Fun facts: Pau Gasol is Gianna Bryan’t s godfather. And has his daughter named after her. Respect for him😔 he deserves more respect

Kobe speaking multiple languages is such a flex

When two people have the same vision and refuse to quit until they get there, you see greatness - this duo's championship run is a clear example of this

Were naming our next child my wife is having THIS year after Kobe for the energy he gave me as young man who looked and looks up to his life as a motivator to be the best: person,dad,son,brother,uncle, friend, business owner I can be.

Friends hang sometimes, banner hang for ever... such a Kobe quote

We always think about Kobe, but Pau and Kobe were a real duo!! Love this...not even a Lakers fan, just a basketball fan.

Can't ask for a better teammate, brother and friend. Salute to you Pau, you really stepped up for your brother like old times.

Can't believe it has been a year. It's still heartbreaking 'til now 😭💔

Kobe is beyond basketball. Hes a person that wants nothing but the best for anyone. Im a celtic fan who lived on watching the 2 boston vs lakers finals. And even tho i wanted boston to win more tha anything. I couldnt help notice i admired and respected Kobe as a player and a human being. Hes just one of those people who leave an impact. I know Kobe and Gigi are in heaven watching over us. I pray for him and his family.

The chemistry these two had on the floor together was incredible. Two of the highest basketball iq’s working together in harmony. Kobe became his final form when he finally had trust in his teammates and pau sparked that.

This is why Pau is such an outstanding person. Look at his impact off the court. I love Pau.

My childhood 💜💛 mamba forever. and Pau is a legend

Remembering how they lost in the finals that same year they became teammates then Kobe went on to beat Pau in the Olympics and then immediately after the ceremony went and told him they were not losing again. We know what happens the next 2 years. Kobe & Pau became unstoppable. Truly brothers.

Whenever I take things for granted I think about Kobe. ♥️

Still feels like a nightmare that hasn’t ended. 😢😢

I remember my mom called me that day, & i could barely even speak words I was crying so hard. Kobe was my hero. I'll never forget you Kobe. & as my son ages I'll be sure he knew about you & how great you were on & off the court.

A bond forged in fierce competition. Such a beautiful thing.

The fact that Kobe only had one MVP is an embarrassment

It’s still hard not to shed a tear for Mamba! Gone to early but a legacy that will live on forever!

What a beautiful relationship it was that will definitely live forever. S/O to Pau, such an amazing person and human being. Very rare to find that kind of brother. Much love, Hermano!

Man, these guys were the reason I Became a Laker fan, their Chemistry was undeniable!

I'm crying dawg man I miss bean 😢

I’m glad that history is respecting the duo that Kobe and Pau were. I’ll be honest as a Laker fan before Pau came to the Lakers in the 07-08 season I hadn’t watched a lot of games with him but man once he became a Laker he became one of my favorite players of all time. you could tell the difference he made on the team and the difference that he meant to Kobe almost instantly. I really wish looking back that we could’ve got him on the Lakers two years earlier because I believe that those two guys could have won three championships together giving Pau three rings and Kobe six rings. Man after they beat the Celtics in 2010 I just knew they were going to three peat the next season. That whole season I had already in my mind watched the Lakers beat LeBron James and Miami Heat to finish off that three peat and when it didn’t happen as a Laker fan it crushed me. but I am very thankful that those two guys got to play together because I have re-watched those two finals probably more than any other NBA finals. I remember where I was both times that they won those two championships. That was definitely a special team. I’m not going to say that it’s the best lineup ever but it’s probably my favorite lineup ever.

Que bonito.dos seres extraordinarios. Una amistad bonita y pura .Pau siempre estará ahí para ellas .se me saltaron las lágrimas.

I'm a Boston woman born and raised and I am sitting here crying like a baby missing Kobe.....legend! #8 #24 #2 ❤❤

Beautiful Pao, simply beautiful. May you and your family forever be blessed for your loving kindness to your friends' loved ones.

Cried so much last year, I did not want to revisit this..

30 seconds in I'm moving from my livingroom into my bedroom so I can peacefully get teary eyed watching this.

Every person wishes to have a friend like "Pau"... amazing storytelling!!! We, Kobe fans owe Pau, his love and support shhhh the world. Truth always speaks for itself.

I’m not crying, you are :( .. love you Kobe !

They had a wonderful “black swan, white swan” connection, as one became more of a black swan and the other more of a white swan. Truly beautiful to witness and sad at the same time that it lasted only so long.

When you think about the perfect duo, Kobe & Pau complemented each other beautifully and it’s no surprise that they were able to win back-to-back titles. When those two were clicking, the Lakers were unbeatable and that connection was special. 👏

It’s these type of bonds you from on the court and off. Un hermano de guerra y paz. Loved watching these guy play together and against each other in international play. No matter what it reassembled playing basketball with your brother

Still hurts everytime i see a video of Kobe..R.I.P to all that were lost..

Pau is the definition of what a good man is.

IT'S A CRIME THAT PAUS JERSEY ISN'T HANGING IN THE STAPLES CENTER RIGHT NEXT TO KOBE'S!!!!

Tears 😢 I love they brotherhood, continue rest n heaven my goat

Still can’t believe and it’s really heartbreaking💔 !but we still need to keep growing. This is what I learn from Kobe. Mamba Mentality never ends. Hope Kobe and Gigi are all good in the heaven.Pau will help you take care of your family. Rest easy Kobe&Gigi #8#24#2💜💛

Kobe and pau had instant chemistry on and off the court....you could see it from the first game together...their games meshed like it was meant to be and they fed off each other

It's rlly sad how before Kobe died everyone was saying he 5 or top 3 but since he died people saying he not even top 10. It's sad how people switch up like that but I always been and will be a Kobe fan 🐐

Absolutely amazing. So emotional it’s hard to watch. Pau completed Kobe

After Kobe retired. My love for the NBA was never the same . He will always be my goat

RESPECT! THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR!

As a Greek basketball fan I always hated Pau for destroying my national team every year but his game commands respect. He was so great for so long

Crying!! My fav duo! I miss Kobe so much!

God bless Pau Gasol. Heart of pure gold

Pau is such an amazing human being

Kobe was a great mind of this generation..a motivation and determination that can't be taught.. 💔Both genuine loyal people

That is so touching. I'm a bigger fan of Pau now more than ever.

Awww so Emotional 😭 love them both Atleast Paul is there for them ♥️♥️

“Pau... you ready?” Chills bruh...

Man this video got me choked up 💛💜 Miss the mamba and Gigi

Almost one year dear Kobe, Recently, the posture of you holding the ball in both hands and moving one foot while standing has appeared in my mind often. I think everyone knows the power of your posture. Miss you MVP！

Pau was always my fav and this made me cry a little

We love you kobe you are the legend of basketball ❤️

Friends is such beautiful word yet so hard to find someone who can live up to its meaning Pau is that meaning of FRIENDS

Miss him so much! I still tear up.

Sooooo fcking heartbreaking that those lives tragically taken. Kobe truly one of a kind! So touching that relationship he had with his hermano Pau. 💜💛💜💛💜💛

Congratulations Pau on your retired Lakers jersey. Kobe would be proud 🥲

I miss you Kobe :c

Pau exudes Goodness! You could see hes a GENUINE guy💯

Man. I wish every person will have a true friend like gasol.

I wish Pau would have gotten the chance to speak at Kobe's Memorial.

Rest in the end, not in the middle. - Kobe’s high school English teacher
