Pau Gasol, Kobe Bryant and the bond of brothers

Posted Jan 26, 2021
Kobe Bryant liked to tell people that he didn't have time for friends. Not in the conventional way most people have friends in which they talk regularly or grab a meal when they're in the same part of town. Ever on brand, Bryant even trademarked the slogan, "Friends hang sometimes, banners hang forever." Pau Gasol heard him say that all the time. (ESPN.com)
