The Los Angeles Lakers started a new NBA campaign full of expectations after being crowned champions in the bubble back in October. The purple and gold made some good additions in the offseason, including Marc Gasol, Pau Gasol’s brother, to help them defend their title.
Well, Gasol’s presence on the team has been surrounded by some kind of mystic knowing how great his brother was for the Lakers. He will try to write his own history with the team but trying to have similar success with the franchise. Well, after a rough start to the season, the Lakers are getting things back on track and Gasol has improved his level.
That’s why LeBron James decided to demonstrate how excited he is to be teammates with Gasol. James found a pic where Pau and Kobe Bryant are high-fiving. He shared that pic on his IG stories but that wasn’t it. Below that pic, you could see another one of Marc doing the exact same thing with James. The similarities are incredible and everybody was in awe after watching them.

If Gasol picked the No. 15 to wear this season, he would have been using a number below than his brother (16), just like LeBron (23) and Kobe (24). This is a great coincidence, to be honest, and James doesn’t miss a chance to remember Kobe and demonstrate he’s trying to carry his legacy and take the Lakers to the promised land again.
