There have been some dynamic duos to grace the big stage of the NBA. However, some are in a league of themselves. In terms of success and their chemistry, Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol made a big name for themselves as a duo. Both complimented each others’ game perfectly and helped the Los Angeles Lakers add two more championships up in the banner.

Even off the court, they remained close as family. After the sad passing of Kobe Bryant, Pau was one of the first people to reach out to Vanessa. Being close friends off the court, he did everything to support the Bryant family who lost Kobe and Gianna. Gasol considered Kobe an elder brother and even spent Halloween with his family after Kobe’s passing.

Recently, he made an appearance on a show to promote his new docuseries. However, Gasol also revealed how he honored Kobe’s daughter, Gianna Bryant, through his youngest daughter.

Pau Gasol honors Kobe Bryant in the best way

Gasol made an appearance on The Real Daytime show to speak about his new docuseries, ‘Pau Gasol: It’s About the Journey’. However, he also took the time to share some memories of his dear friend, Kobe Bryant. Gasol also explained how he honored Kobe by naming his youngest daughter after Gianna Bryant, who also sadly passed away with Kobe Bryant and others.

Pau said: “It was a way to have him and her present in our lives forever. It was probably for us the biggest way that we could actually honor him and her into our lives. And now having Vanessa as the godmother of our baby, Ellie Gianna. You know, that’s life, we’re a family, we love each other and we’re going to be there all the way.”

This is a great gesture from Pau Gasol to honor Kobe and Gianna. Moreover, having Vanessa as the godmother sure provides comfort after suffering the loss of her child, along with her husband. Pau has always been supportive of the Bryant family since the passing of the ‘Mamba’ and taking such a big step only shows how much he truly cares.
