Los Angeles Lakers legend Pau Gasol has been playing the uncle role with Kobe Bryant's kids since Bryant passed away.

As expected, the image of Gasol hanging out with the Bryants is adorable.

Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol were brothers. With that said, it shouldn't surprise anyone that Gasol is putting in the effort to be with the Bryant family during this hard time.

Bryant and Gasol won two titles on the Lakers in 2009 and 2010. The Lakers beat the Orlando Magic in 2009 and the Boston Celtics in 2010. Bryant won Finals MVP both times, but Gasol's play was crucial as well.

In 2021, Bryant will be inducted into the Hall of Fame along with Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan. It's possible Gasol could be involved in the speech since he was so close to Bryant.
