Different coaches have different schemes, so for me, it's about learning and being able to adjust and adapt to these coaches. It fills your toolbox.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
Where I'm from, we don't take shots over two guys. When someone is doubled, it's the next man's job to take the shot and make it.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
Nothing guarantees a championship. Nothing. Not having the best players, not practicing the most. Your best chance is if you do the right thing every day.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
I had the worst habits that you could imagine. Pizza, burgers, even a little bit of sweets.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
Just because it says 'zero calories' or 'sugar free' or 'fat free' doesn't mean it actually is good for you. It's a way to get you. Just make sure that you know. We think that we can put stuff in our body. Just know how it affects you.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
When I see somebody, I try to beat him on both ends of the floor. It's the game within the game that you've always got to win. That's always been my mindset. That's how I was taught how to play the game. That's how I learned. And that's what I enjoy.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
That's the only way I know how to play - dedicating yourself to the game, to the city, to the fans.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
I didn't care about the draft. I didn't want to do the workouts - they put you in two-on-two full-court drills with guards. That's not going to help me.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
When you see the floor and you understand the game and you're trying to break it down with what you have in front of you, you can do it offensively and defensively. And you try to take advantage of it both ways. You see where the offense's head is and you can kind of read what you want to do.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
I don't know how many Michelin stars Barcelona has, but you don't have to spend big money to eat great.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
A homegrown tomato, you're never going to taste anything like it. There is nothing close to it, the sweetness. And strawberries: The ones you get in the store are so hard; but you get a homegrown strawberry, it just melts, I'm telling you.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
As an athlete, if you train your body but don't fuel it the right way, that doesn't make much sense. Adopting a plant-based diet with the right amount of proteins that came from the right places was the way to go. I also just love gardening.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
It's never been about me... It's a team sport. It's basketball. It's not how good you are, it's how good your team is.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
I was a different kind of kid. Pau always knew what he wanted. He was really good at school, really responsible. I was more of a loose cannon, honestly. I was running around and outside, and getting into a little trouble more than anything. But always in a good way. It was never my fault. It was the other guy. I was just there.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
You have pretty much the same fan base in Memphis, year over year the same group. We watched teenagers in the stands become parents. You'd see little kids become young men and women. Those relationships mean much more than just basketball.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
I was just having fun because everybody was so much shorter than me. Honestly, my stats in high school were ridiculous. They made no sense.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
I think once I had my kids that kind of made it like, 'Look, you have to be the best you can be so they have a good example at home.' You want to give them the best food, what's best for them.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
You can't change what Memphis means to me, what Memphis has meant to me. It's a special place for me. There's no doubt.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
If you only take money in the bank and never put money in the bank, you'll go broke.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
The older you get the more you realize that life is more than just basketball. Your vision of the world gets much wider, and you're not the centre of it no more. You understand that you're a moving part and that you have other responsibilities.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
You just need to be happy, and once you're happy with yourself then you can do more things.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
Obviously, for my line of work, I cannot eat barbecue that often. It takes a little bit to digest and it's not the healthiest thing to eat.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
You really watch basketball and study basketball, the more you realize, the pass really is beautiful. I'm not just talking about the pass where you look away or anything. Just the right pass at the right time to get somebody open is just beautiful. There is nothing better than that. It's contagious - it makes everybody happy.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
Gardening does so much for your brain. You're learning how a process works, and how important it is to do everything right so that you can eventually enjoy a tomato three months later. I've always been patient, but gardening really helps you with that.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
For as much respect and love as we have for this game, there are other things things in our lives that are important to us, too.
Quote by -Marc Gasol
Homemade gazpacho tastes different than any gazpacho you can buy because you know exactly how much time it took for each plant to mature. That's why I would encourage buying at a farmers' market or at Whole Foods, because it comes straight from the source to your table.
