Former Lakers great Pau Gasol retires after 18 NBA seasons
LA TimesPau Gasol, who had a tight bond with Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant while they won two NBA titles, has announced his retirement from professional basketball. But I just think the size that they played with, you had to deal with Kobe, then you had Bynum and Pau out there too.” It’s not dissimilar to the Lakers’ approach in 2020, when Vogel led the team to its first championship since Bryant and Gasol won in 2010. Big men Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum embrace in the middle of the Lakers’ celebration after a Game 7 win over the Celtics in the 2010 NBA Finals. A two-time NBA champion, six-time NBA All-Star, three-time Olympic medalist and world champion, Pau inspired countless fans through his remarkable skill and passion for the game,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement.
