From Newsday’s Al Iannazzone: Playing for Spain in the European Championships, Hernangomez practiced with Pau and Marc Gasol every day. The Gasol brothers have [...]

In comparison to other NBA teams, the San Antonio Spurs don’t shoot a ton of three-pointers. They average 24 long-ball attempts per 100 possessions—24th in the league. They hit them at a high clip (39.5) percent, but they emphasize an older-school style dedicated to dictating the pace and operating in the half-court. And yet, Pau [...]

In two outings since returning from his 15-game absence, Pau Gasol has come off the San Antonio Spurs’ bench. While this is subject to change, head coach Gregg Popovich appears more inclined to roll with a LaMarcus Aldridge-Dewayne Dedmon frontcourt moving forward. And Gasol is totally cool with that, per the San Antonio Express-News’ Jeff McDonald: [...]

Kawhi Leonard has a fan in Pau Gasol. Per the Associated Press’ Greg Beacham: [tweet https://twitter.com/gregbeacham/status/835989397581389826] Knowing what we do now about Kobe Bryant’s play style in his prime, comparisons to Bean don’t hold the same cachet they once did. But this is still high praise. If anything, it’s a testament to Leonard’s work ethic. [...]

This offseason is supposed to be Kevin Durant or bust for the Golden State Warriors. Either they poach him from the Oklahoma City Thunder, or they run it back with their current core by re-signing restricted free agents Harrison Barnes and Festus Ezeli, while retaining the expiring contracts of Andrew Bogut, Shaun Livingston and Andre [...]

Pau Gasol is officially an unrestricted NBA free agent. Which means his time with the Chicago Bulls is officially over. Pau Gasol opted out of the final year of his deal on Monday, and per ESPN.com’s Nick Friedell, neither he nor the Bulls are planning a reunion: [tweet https://twitter.com/NickFriedell/status/747521357911564289] Makes sense. Gasol will turn 36 [...]

As I’m sure you’ve heard hundreds of times by now there are a number of real and legitimate concern many athletes are faced with as they consider participating in the summer Olympic games in Rio De Janeiro this summer, one of which is the Zika virus. This is a virus that is spread by the [...]

When Pau Gasol exercises his player option and explores free agency this summer, he will have an opportunity to ditch the Chicago Bulls in an effort to latch onto a championship contender. That championship contender could be the San Antonio Spurs. Or so says his brother, Marc Gasol. From John Martin of 92.9 ESPN in [...]

Pau Gasol’s roller coaster relationship with the Chicago Bulls is intact. First, he was trade fodder at the deadline. Then, he was a pivotal part of this team’s immediate future. Now, he’s not sure what he is to the Bulls, or what the Bulls are to him. From ESPN.com’s Nick Friedell: After the Bulls’ 106-98 [...]
