Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant formed one of the most iconic and effective duos in NBA history. The man from Sant Boi and the North American won two coveted championship rings for the Los Angeles Lakers in 2009 and 2010, as well as competing fiercely in international duels and becoming great friends. The loss of the forward was a severe emotional impact, but Kobe is always in the memory, even in the most relaxed moments.
In addition to attending the baptism of the children of Pau and his wife Cat McDonell at the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, ??the family of the eternal number 24 has been on a tourist trip through Spain, which has had the pivot as a guest guide. His wife Vanessa Bryant and his daughters, Natalia Diamante, Bianka Bella and Capri Kobe; They have spent the last few days in Barcelona, ??as well as discovering several iconic locations with the help of the former Barcelona Football Club player.
Bryant and his daughters began their journey through Spain enjoying the beaches of Marbella, with the mother posting several photos of the group on the Malaga coast. The four of them stayed at the well-known Marbella Club hotel and strolled along the sidewalks of Puerto Banús. During this stay in the south of the country, Vanessa took the opportunity to take a picture with the young women. All of them appear in one of the promenades of the Marbella hotel, with a small caption of text: “June/July”.
After this stop, the cuartero landed in Barcelona to attend the baptism of the children of Pau and Cat McDonell. In addition to participating in the party held at the Basilica of the Sagrada Família, the former Lakers player served as guide and showed the American family some of the most iconic places in the city. Together they went to Casa Batlló, Antoni Gaudí’s great work on Passeig de Gràcia; they visited Tibidabo, the Barcelona Aquarium and toured the best luxury shops in the city.
Kobe Bryant’s family was not the only acquaintance invited to the baptism. They were not the only exceptional guests at the ceremony. After Elisabet Gianna and Maxwell Vincent received the baptismal waters, there was a photo booth where the family and guests were able to take several pictures with the little ones. The appearance of another former Barça player, “La Bomba” Juan Carlos Navarro, in the company of his two daughters, Lucía and Elsa, stands out in these images.
The ceremony was simple, but with details that were noted even in the invitations. Gasol and McDonell sent white cards with gold lettering and written in English for the best possible memory of the event.
For the subsequent celebration, the family moved their guests to the outskirts of Barcelona, ??with great views of the Ciudad Condal. During sunset, the parents of the baptized organized an outdoor dinner around a large table, adorned with flower arrangements in the center and candles.
