The friendship between NBA legend Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol is unlike any other. Their bond had grown even stronger as the dynamic duo sailed their way to the NBA championship twice. Their friendship also brought their families closer. Recently, both families were seen together in Barcelona, Spain for a special ceremony.

The tragic death of Kobe, his daughter Gianna Bryant and the seven others in a helicopter crash left the fans and their families heartbroken. So when Gasol’s daughter was born, he and his wife, Catherine Mcdonnell, decided to pay homage to the legend and his daughter. The couple decided ‘Gianna’ as their daughter’s middle name. Recently, little Elisabet got baptized and Vanessa was named as her godmother. She and her family were also present at the Baptism ceremony.

Pau Gasol’s sweet relationship with Kobe’s daughters

Two-times NBA champion Gasol bonded with Kobi’s daughters just like their father would have wanted. The Spanish player is the godfather of Kobe’s children and they share a great relationship with each other. The painful days and heartache after the NBA legend and his daughter’s death have brought the families much closer.

Before the unfortunate incident, the Black Mamba had asked his friend to teach things about culture to his daughters. And the player seems to fulfill his friend’s request for the girls with all his heart.
