Al side of his ‘brother’ Kobe Bryant. Pau Gasol has already removed his number 16 Los Angeles Lakers jersey at the Crypto.com Arena in the Californian city, the old Staples. The place where he became legendary with two championship rings and where the love of the fans will never end. An emotional ceremony at half-time placed the player from Sant Boi as a legend of the sport. A place where he will belong forever.
After a first part of the game against the Memphis Grizzlies in which they reminded him of his best moments, Pau received the deserved tribute. The ’16’ hanging from the ceiling, next to the 17 NBA champion flags. Almost nothing to the device.
Don’t miss a thing with NBA League Pass!
Partners, family, the Bryants, even a Phil Jackson sitting in one of the boxes in the pavilion. Nobody wanted to miss the great tribute to the one and only Pau Gasol. “Without him nothing would be the same,” they repeat in Los Angeles. From Kobe, at that Oscar ceremony, to figures like Jackson himself.
