Pau Gasol in a two-time NBA champion and one of the best power forwards to play the game in a Los Angeles Lakers uniform.
Gasol is one of the best from Spain and as a six-time NBA All-Star, he didn’t hold back on getting snubbed from the 75 Greatest NBA Players list.
I don’t really care too much about lists,” Gasol told Fox Sports. “I think, to a certain degree, they’re very subjective. I’m really happy about how I played through my NBA career and the impact that I’ve had on my teams and teammates, and that’s what I care about. Lists, at the end of the day, are to create maybe a little controversy or a little talk here and there, and that’s OK. That’s part of the sport, and that’s how it should be. So I’m not offended by any means. And if I would’ve been on the list, I wouldn’t think that I’m better than some of the many other great players that are not on the list.”
If Gasol is considered a snub, imagine how Klay Thompson and Dwight Howard still feel about not making it themselves?
Regardless of the big man not making it, he’s won two NBA championships with the late Kobe Bryant who taught him greatness.
In the end, the NBA Hall of Fame exceeds the 75th list and Gasol could find himself one day giving his speech on his years in Vancouver, Memphis, Los Angeles and Chicago.
