Paul Gasol says he still refuses to believe it. I still feel it as a nightmare I can't wait to wake up ... But if this nightmare continues, I'll do what I can to keep your legacy and your lessons, present in everything I do. " , published Gasol, who recalled one of Kobe's most famous phrases:
"The most important thing is to try to inspire people so they can be great at what they want to do."
The Spanish player acknowledges that he will be "disconsolate for a long time, but I will always be grateful for having shared so much together. You inspired me and pushed me to be a better version of myself every day. As you have done with many others." Gasol ended his message thread wishing that all those killed in the accident rest in peace.
