Pau was huge differences when he joined the Lakers in 2008. Alongside him and Kobe, they went to three straight finals and won back to back titles. I got a little emotional when he talk about Kobe. Him and Kobe had such a great relationship as teammates and friends that he wished Kobe could be there when he was inducted in the hall of fame tonight. We miss you Kobe!! Congrats, Pau!!

[@datsapaddlin]

Kobe and Pau speaking Spanish running plays had folks confused asf 😂

[@lphjustin]

LOL that's why they were such a great duo, cuz nobody understood what they were saying to each other and trying to do

[@michaelguerrero3684]

​@lphjustin it was their secret rule to success. Pau was more about the team. Lakers wouldn't win without Pau.

[@ultraego1892]

lechock 0 ring without team hopping and super team. kobe won more with less and better than lebron for sure. @@michaelguerrero3684

Kobe the rapist

[@MaccTonight]

kobe bryant is a wife cheater. stop talking about him. he died. he’s done. he will never play again.

[@noahx.classic]

@@MaccTonight See a counselor man those insecurities will catch up to you eventually. Especially when you get older.

[@horseyytmyg1363]

@@MaccTonightwhy you hating on someone that was a part of changing basketball history? His documentaries made a huge impact on many players of the game, including me. So quit talking bad about someone who died and think about what they did before you say something

[@liftingturtle1055]

​@@MaccTonightYou sir dont know that the Black Mamba TRAINED multiple players who became an All star and Superstar before he rested i piece

Kobe and Pau really were brothers RIP to the mamba

[@Juan_nicolas4]

Very special moment. Kobe would be so proud of you. Congrats Pau♾️🎉

[@LokiAndLoiDontGiveADamn]

Paul had to rush through the part towards the end because he knows if he tries to put any slightly more emotion into the speech he will simply burst into tears 😢

[@redpillfreedom6692]

Unlike Scottie Pippen, Pau Gasol is a sidekick who is grateful for what he got.

[@mommygarcia9137]

I was sobbing while he was talking about Kobe ! I miss you so much Kobe ! Congratulations Pau ! You deserve this honor !!

[@drayz9655]

so sad really

[@achimwitcoustic9585]

This class is full of class acts. Dirk, Wade, Pau, Parker and maybe the best coach in history of the game. Damn what a class.

[@thaboy_j]

calling Tony Parker a class act is a bit of a stretch don't ya think?😂😂

[@dywing]

Tony Parker? You gotta be kidding me

[@doggface7008]

Pau was hella dope…I loved when he got traded to the lakers…..But I truly feel he was Kobe’s true friend besides MJ

When other people have moved on with Kobe's death, Pau still talks about him. He must had truly loved him.

[@user-nt4sl5hp5m]

congrats pau, kobe would definitely be proud 💛💜

[@robertrios7648]

Dame i got alot of love for pau gasol. He was tough and he never gave up. Even when kobe would get on him he'd just come back strong. Great game for a 7 footer. Mid range post up solid on d wouldn't be afraid to sacrifice his body. Rebounded and was a great passer. Congratulations pau kobe would be proud to call you a brother, a friend,a teammate, and a CHAMPION! 🎉 WELL DESERVED

[@jfree672]

Jesus christ. no one says kobe wasn't a great leader off the court who inspired his teammates. on the court it took time for him to realize that you have to trust your teammates and make them better. kobe admitted that himself

[@123rockstar2010]

I cant, I am emotionally unstable right now Pau. Congratulations! You deserve this, and we love you too!

[@ibzanarroyo704]

If he didn’t get traded to the lakers mid 2008 season, he’ll stay in the middle not winning championships nor in a rebuilding effort with Memphis. One could only wonder how long he would have stayed with the losing of Memphis.
