Recently, former NBA player Paul Gasol said in an interview: "Kobe Bryant means a lot to me, after he died, I couldn't sleep peacefully for a long time, every night I kept crying, very painful!" ”。
According to previous reports, Gasol has been very concerned about Vanessa's mother and daughter after Kobe's death, and a few days ago, the media also exposed the photos of gasol's family and Kobe's wife and daughter going to Disney together, it can be seen that Kobe Bryant and Gasol's brotherhood is definitely much better than we think.
In fact, when the Lakers first introduced Gasol in 2008, many fans were not optimistic about the prospects of him and Kobe Bryant, after all, Gasol at that time had been labeled as "weak" and "powerless", and compared to the previous interior superstar who cooperated with Kobe, Shaquille O'Neal, the existence of Gasol was even more insignificant.
But fortunately, Bryant does understand basketball more than ninety-nine percent of the world's professional athletes, and from the first day of joining forces with Gasol, he knew how strongly this seemingly weak European big man could help him on the court.
Even at the time, Bryant gave Gasol such a comment directly: "He is such a good person, polite, gentlemanly, easy-going, and good at shooting, passing, defending, and fast, he is already the best athlete in the world!" ”。
To make Kobe Bryant so proud to say such an evaluation in person, it can be seen that Gasol does have a strong shining point in Kobe's eyes, and this man from Spain has not lived up to the high expectations that Kobe and fans have placed on him!
In the 7 years that Gasol and Kobe have joined forces, he can average 18+10+3 all-round data per game, although compared with the super giants such as Garnett and Duncan, Gasol is much worse, but from a second-in-command point of view, Gasol has achieved the extreme he can achieve!
3 times on the stage of the Finals, 2 times to win the championship trophy, this is gasol after giving everything, dedicated to Kobe Bryant's trust in return, and correspondingly, Gasol himself has become another legend in the history of the Lakers, and most importantly, his and Kobe's duo, is also recognized as one of the greatest combinations in the history of the NBA!
Time flies, now Kobe Bryant is no longer with us, leaving only vanessa and the widow of several daughters, continuing to continue the blood of black mamba in this world, and the former "sister-in-law" is already a retired veteran with a blessed body, but the touch they once brought to us will always exist in the hearts of every fan, and has always taken root...
