NBA Hall Of Fame Ceremony... Gasso Emotionally Thanks Little Bupac For Making Fun Of Duncan

The NBA Hall of Fame award ceremony was held on the 13th, and Spanish legend Pau Gasol once again mentioned the late comrade-in-arms Brian (Kobe Bryant) when accepting the award, expressing his gratitude to the good friend.

Gaso and Brian won two championships while playing for the Lakers, and the two are also very close personally. In 2020, Brian and his daughter Gianna tragically died in a helicopter crash, and Gasso immediately returned to the United States to be with Brian's family.

Gaso accepted the award and recalled how Brian helped him after he was traded to the Lakers. "He taught me how to win at the highest level. He showed me how hard it takes to be a good player, what it takes to have the mentality, the commitment and what it means to be a leader."

"I wouldn't be here without you, bro. I wish more than anything that you and Gianna were here with us today. I miss you and love you, thank you," Gasso said emotionally.

In addition, the Spurs "French little sports car" Tony Parker (Tony Parker) at the award ceremony to make an old comrade Tim Duncan (Tim Duncan) joke, so that the atmosphere is quite happy.

"I think everybody knows this, but I want to say it again," Parker said in his acceptance speech. "Duncan didn't talk to me when I was a rookie, and when I said this, some people thought I was crazy, but Duncan really didn't like the French people, didn't like my French accent. He didn't say anything until I fought Gary Payton."

Parker also mentioned that Duncan's eyes have superpowers, "He never had to talk the way to ask for the ball, he just looked at me, when you're 19 years old, from France, Duncan looks at you like that, it's a very scary thing."

Dirk Nowitzki, the "German tank", shared that he has played with many star players in his career, but his best teammate is another Hall of Famer Steve Nash. At the Hall of Fame ceremony, Nowitzki also paid special tribute to his longtime friend, saying that he cherished the time spent together and was grateful to Nash for taking his game to another level.
