Future basketball Hall of Famer Pau Gasol had fans around the world smiling as he shared a special moment with Kobe Bryant's children during the all-star weekend.
This weekend sees the NBA's best of the best meet in the three-day festivities with the rookie and celebrity game being held on Friday, dunk contest on the Saturday and the main all-star game on the Sunday. Throughout the weekend, NBA legends regularly return to witness the contests and reunite with team-mates and former rivals.
But none will be as heart-warming as Gasol being reunited with Bryant's children, the family he had been close to while being team-mates with Bryant.
