Center Pau Gasol’s resume speaks for itself. He has accomplished everything there is to accomplish in the game of basketball and has a first-class ticket to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
There’s a bizarre occurrence surrounding Pau Gasol that has followed him throughout his career. This aura about him that triggers a tendency from teams and fans to under-value the Spaniard everywhere he goes.
They under-appreciated him in Memphis. Although the term could be argued, they traded him for a soda and a bag of chips.
Alright, they did gain the draft rights to his brother Marc, but the rest of the trade…
Pau asked to be traded, so it’s not like the Grizzlies had been placed in the best of situations, but still, they went ahead with the trade for players not worth mentioning in this piece.
