LeBron James recreates iconic Kobe-Pau Gasol picture with Marc

Four-time NBA champion, LeBron James shared an Instagram story of himself high-fiving his newest teammate, Marc Gasol, comparing it to an eerily similar picture of Kobe Bryant and Marc's bror, Pau Gasol. “SO 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥,” James wrote on story. Pau Gasol and Kobe were teammates on Lakers from 2008 to 2014 during which y won back-to-back championships in 2009 and 2010. Pau and Kobe's perfectly complementary relationship on court was a huge factor in Lakers' back-to-back wins in '09 and '10, and this new batch of Lakers will hope to recreate that magic this season.

Nearly six years after Pau Gasol's exit from team, his younger bror Marc will don Lakers jersey and hope to follow in his footsteps. Marc's two-year deal with team, worth his minimum w of 2.56 million dollars a year (10% of his salary from last year), will make Gasols first brors to play for Lakers and d a new fear in caps of duo, who are alrey kwn as best pair of brors to have played game.

Marc, who won his first NBA Championship title just one year ago with Toronto Raptors, will be on hunt for a second ring and if re was ever a team that could help him get it, it will be Lakers. A second Championship will also put Marc at equal standing with his bror, who won both his titles with Lakers. Also like Pau, Marc will get to enjoy his time at LA-side playing alongside one of  best players of game - ever.
