Excerpt from ‘Pau Gasol reflects on Lakers, Kobe Bryant ahead of number retirement ceremony’ article by David Villafranca:
Los Angeles, Feb 24 (EFE).- Spain’s Pau Gasol said in an interview with Efe ahead of his number retirement ceremony next month that it was a great privilege for him to have played a part in the storied history of the Los Angeles Lakers and to have formed a championship duo with one of basketball’s all-time greats, the late Kobe Bryant.
The 42-year-old former star forward/center, who spent seven seasons in Tinseltown, averaged 17.7 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 429 games and helped lead the Lakers to back-to-back NBA championships in the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 seasons, will be honored for his outstanding contributions to the franchise at Crypto.com Arena on March 7.
Gasol, who became just the 11th Lakers player to receive that honor, will have the distinction of being the first non-American to have his number retired by that franchise.
