Pau Gasol recalled Thursday Kobe Bryant, who died recently after a helicopter accident, promising that he will do “what he can to keep in mind” the “legacy” and also the “lessons” of his former partner “in everything he does” from From now.

“I still refuse to believe it … I still feel it as a nightmare from which I cannot wait to wake up … But if this nightmare continues, I will do what I can to keep in mind your legacy and your lessons in everything I do“, commented Gasol from his official Twitter profile.

Likewise, Gasol recalled a clever phrase from Bryant. “The most important thing is to try and inspire people so they can be great at what they want to do,” said the Catalan player, who shared a great friendship with Bryant since his arrival in Los Angeles Lakers in February 2008.

“Being disconsolate for a long time, but always being grateful for having shared so much together. You inspired me and pushed me to be a better version of myself every day. As you have done with many others,” concluded Gasol, who was fellow Bryant for six years and that conquered next to the two rings of champion of the NBA, in the years 2009 and 2010.
