You once called former Lakers teammate Pau Gasol your brother. He’s seventh on the all-time scoring list at the World Cup and can get into the top five if he plays anywhere near what he’s capable of in China. Kobe Bryant: It would be a huge honor. He’s so passionate about playing for his country, and like I said, he and his guys have been playing together for a very long time. They grew up together. Personally, I know it would mean the world to him. As his brother, as his friend, it would probably mean more to me. It would be a great accomplishment.
