Pau Gasol is done with NBA and returning to Spain! Before we jump into this topic, let’s here from him in a statement:
“I’m happy to return to the club where I began, and I’m excited about this new opportunity: I hope to contribute to the first team very soon. I want to thank Barça and its technical staff for making it possible to join them.”
The 40-year-old is signing back with Spain’s team, Barcelona. Barcelona was his original team before going to the NBA and winning The Rookie of The Year Award when he was with Memphis.
This past Saturday, the Spanish Media Reports tried getting a scoop on Gasol and going back to Barcelona. Gasol did not want to comment on that at the time and said that he is just “focused on my recovery and I am not ready to get back to competing just yet.”
However, he made up his mind today. Only four days later. Wow fast turnaround but here we are; Gasol has won two NBA Championships, a 6-time All-Star, plus played with several teams. Of course his draft-team, the Grizzlies. He did play for the Spurs, Bucks, and Bulls. Gasol has averaged 17 points and 9 rebounds per game for his entire career.
