SPANISH basketball star Pau Gasol has been a rock for the grieving family of his close friend and fellow player Kobe Bryant, who lost his life in a helicopter crash on January 26, as did his daughter Gianna, 13.
Kobe's widow, Vanessa Bryant, has recently shared a photo of 'Uncle Pau' carrying one of their little girls whilst on a day out on a boat – both the Spaniard and the child are shown grinning from ear to ear.
Pau himself retweeted the picture, which he captioned, 'Family'.
He and his brother Marc, both NBA stars, were left reeling by the loss of the friend they called 'Big Brother Kobe', and Pau in particular has become even closer to his wife and children since the tragedy.
Photos of 'Uncle Pau' with Kobe's kids have been cropping up frequently in the past few weeks on social media and swiftly going viral.
The above picture, posted by Vanessa Bryant on Instagram (@vanessabryant) and tweeted by Pau (@paugasol), has already notched up 234,900 'likes' and 21,600 comments in under 24 hours.
