Kobe Bryant’s teammate Pau Gasol had to go through a long road to retirement. Bryant’s sudden death two years back saddened the Spaniard greatly. Gasol was very close to the “Black Mamba” and his family. Gasol recently celebrated his birthday and got wishes from everyone including Kobe’s elder daughter, Natalia. He visited their house recently and got ballet lessons from Kobe’s daughter Bianka Bryant.
The Spanish star tried to replicate Bianka’s moves but was no match for the 5-year-old. He may be a two-time NBA Champion but he is no ballet dancer compared to the little one. Gasol might need a few more lessons from his young mentor. Specifically, the twirls and the pointing of the toes need to be perfected.
