When the discussion around the most prestigious franchise in American sports begins, a few obvious names make the list. Whether you select the New York Yankees or the Dallas Cowboys, the choices are pretty obvious. However, in the basketball world, no team became a country-wide sensation quite like the Los Angeles Lakers. As Paul Gasol finally made his way into the Hall of Fame, it was an auspicious day in La La Land.

As their most recent jersey retiree entered the prestigious group, fans caught an adorable moment between a current Laker and his children.

The Lakers brotherhood

41 members associated with the franchise have made it over to Springfield, Massachusetts. As the 42nd name joined the list, his induction feels earned, especially to Laker land. For years, the city and fans claimed that he was underrated. However, there could not be a better moment to personify the Spaniard than the one between GM Rob Pelinka and Pau Gasol’s child. Ever since his 2x Championship-winning-teammate Kobe Bryant‘s demise, Gasol has been a constant in the Black Mamba’s?kids’ life.

Always ready to lend support and cheer them on, Pau has been the epitome of a teammate and a friend. So, to see that love between the Laker faithful was a beautiful sight to see. As Gasol gave an instantly iconic speech, fans caught a cute exchange.

Cameras swiveled over to find Rob Pelinka, playing peek-a-boo with 2-year-old Elisabet Gianna Gasol. The moment was as heartfelt as it was genuine. One member of the Lakers fandom caught it on camera and shared it on Twitter.

Captioning it, “Rob Pelinka playing peek-a-boo with Pau Gasol?s child during Pau Gasol?s Hall of Fame speech,” it was beautiful to see Rob give the kid a moment of respite as his father turned emotional on stage.

The GM of the Lakers stays winning over fans, on and off the court.

Executive extraordinaire, Rob Pelinka

15 years after Pau Gasol was traded to the Lakers from the Memphis Grizzlies, Rob Pelinka has been just as brilliant in maneuvering the team. Just like that year, the team boasted a disgruntled star. However, just like before, the team came through.

In a litany of moves, Pelinka restructured the entire identity of the team. Now, they seem poised as a championship contender. One thing’s for certain, you can find one special guest on the seats of Crypto.com Arena when the season rolls by. Los Angeles Lakers great, and now Hall-of-Famer Pau Gasol.
