NBA star Pau Gasol honored Kobe Bryant’s family by naming his newborn daughter in honor of Gianna Bryant.
In a social media post on Sunday (Monday in the Philippines), the former Los Angeles Lakers great man shared the news with a family photo of himself, his wife Catherine McDonnell and their first-born Elisabet Gianna.
“Our little one has finally arrived !! The delivery went very well and we couldn’t be happier !! Elisabet Gianna Gasol, a very significant name for our super beautiful daughter !! #girldad, ”Gasol wrote.
His daughter’s middle name is a tribute to the late Kobe Bryant’s daughter, Gianna, who was also killed in the helicopter crash in January.
Bryant’s widow, Vanessa, is the newborn’s godmother.
Gasol and Bryant have been teammates with the Lakers from 2008 to 2014, winning two championships. Their friendship remained even after Gasol’s transfer to other teams.
