I'm a team guy, obviously. When a team needs me to be aggressive, I have to be aggressive.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
I still run into a lot of people from Memphis, all around the NBA. I feel like they're with me every game. I feel their love, their support, their pushing. I know they still cheer for me. They let me know they cheer for me. And there's a part of them with me in every game I play.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
Adjusting and evolving as a player and not being stuck in a certain way, I'm happy for those things.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
There have been few players that haven't been traded over the years in the NBA.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
My relationship with the Grizzlies might change, but my relationship with Memphis won't. What I feel inside and how I feel about Memphis and its people has nothing to do with a franchise or a temporary thing. It's not going to change.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
That makes you a better player, when you go through the process of seeing what other teams are doing to you.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
It's never just about one player. Together, you have to figure out other ways to score and get opportunities.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
I fell asleep during the draft, actually. I woke up, and I was picked No. 48. I didn't even know what number I was picked.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
As a tall guy, you always think the over-the-top pass is the easiest way out. But sometimes you can fake that, and throw it under their arms.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
People think that a good passer is a flashy passer. But that's not a good pass. It's just a flashy pass. A good passer is someone who's gonna hit the guy right on the hands, and the timing is correct. You pass late, and it's not a good pass. You pass too early, it's not a good pass, either. If it's off-target, it's not a good pass.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
There is no difference between the way we see basketball; the way we execute is a little bit different. The way he uses his right shoulder, drop-step to his left hand, is a thing of beauty. There is no doubt in my mind that Pau will be a Hall of Famer because of what he brought to the game, and there's no such players like him anymore.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
I was never insecure. A lot of people ask me that - especially, did you feel pressure being Pau's brother? No, because I saw success through him. And I felt it. Because we're so close of a family, when he got recognition, I felt happy for him. I felt genuinely happy for him.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
You read the play that's in front of you. You don't try to look back; you don't look forward. You deal with the game that you have in front of you.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
I'm somebody that really locks in to play, and it's not easy to say hello to all the ushers and all the people who work around the team and then try to execute the game plan and beat the other team.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
In the frenzy, roller coaster of the season, you can play up and play down. But if you're strong enough, you can change those habits and tendencies and make them into championship-type habits and tendencies. That doesn't guarantee you that you're going to win, but it gives you the best chance. That's all I can ask for. That's all I want.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
We gotta educate the kids. You've got to do your job as a citizen, but the same time, you have to also give the tools to the society to learn and create their habits so it's a seamless transition to become a better society.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
We gotta leave a better planet for our kids. And I would say we gotta leave better kids for our planet as well.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
Going through processes as a team and getting better each and every night, that's what you do it for - to eventually win games as a group.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
Once you work for your team-mates and help each other - thinking about them before you think about yourself - it always works out.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
It's not a lie that I'm a stronger guy than Pau. There's nothing wrong with that.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
I don't think the Lakers really knew me when they first drafted me. They just saw my name and my size and my stats. They just picked somebody because they had to.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
My grandma used to have a backyard and we put a hoop, a shaky hoop, up there. We used to just shoot at it. We shot at it so many times, we broke it. We had to get a better one, because that one wasn't good at all.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
People say, 'Well, you're not Pau's little brother anymore.' I'm always going to be Pau's younger brother and Adria's older brother.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
The architecture in Barcelona is very unique, and I think it's something to truly spend some time getting to know all the cool places.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
I think you could say that, a lot of players are insecure and sometimes we have this shield around us that we don't want to accept that we have problems sometimes or we don't know how to do things because we're these superheroes.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
I'm somebody that sets goals, enjoys the preparation and the planning to achieve those goals, and then really enjoys going through that plan really disciplined and achieving those goals... I enjoy the whole process. If you fail, you can backtrack and see, 'OK, that didn't go well, let's try something else and let's go that other route.'
Quote by -Marc Gasol
Before being an athlete, I'm a person, a human being, like the ones Open Arms are saving every day.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
When people know that you're going to give them the ball where they want it, then they're going to try to do the same thing for you. And then, they're going to play hard defensively.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
If you grow the food you eat, it tastes better. Seasonal vegetables are grown at the right time, and you can make sure everything matures on the plant or on the tree. It's as fresh as you can get.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
With years, you change. You're not as hardheaded or stubborn. You are more malleable.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
Everybody has goals, dreams, whatever you want to call it. But are you willing to pay? You have to be honest with yourself: What do I need to do every day to reach those goals and achieve the level that I want, not only for yourself but also for the team?
Quote by -Marc Gasol
When you accomplish something, or you don't accomplish something, automatically your brain goes to the next challenge. That's your next focus.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
When you grow tomatoes, you're going to get a lot of tomatoes. So you want to learn how to preserve.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
Pau has a game that's impossible to imitate. He's so finesse and so skilled, it's impossible to imitate. Honestly, I'm a big fan of the game. I've never seen a player his size who has so many moves, so many counters and it's impossible. His length, his size, his skills - I mean, you can't teach that.
