    I don’t know if I can handle reading this right now. Or ever.

    Pau is a real brother. So glad he was a Lakers.

    I am glad that article came out and I read it. I always knew the bond between Kobe and Pau was very strong, but always wondered what exactly made that bond between the two of them so strong over everyone else he ever played with.

    Pau and his wife are solid gold human beings. It really makes those seasons way back when way more important than just winning and getting hardware.

    It’s easy to forget these players… they’re human too.

    Pau is truly one of the good guys & Kobe would be very proud! I miss those two together 😥

    Everyone needs a friend like Pau

  9. For so many reasons both on and off the court Pau is an all time great Laker & human 💜💛

    I remember when Pau jersey retirement was announced and I immediately thought of that video of Kobe saying how much Pau deserved it.
    When they played that … broke me.
    They say you shouldn’t allow sports to get too emotionally interconnected with your life especially as a fan but in LA not loving the lakers is almost impossible.
