One time on the Bulls beat we were on the road in Portland and I was at the Nike employee store the same time as Pau and Niko. Said hi, kept it moving. 20 minutes later Pau and I bumped into each other and he asked if I was finding everything OK. Like he was an employee 😂 – 11:50 AM

Dejounte on Jock’s passing ability:
“I played with Pau Gasol, and Pau Gasol was a great passer who could read the game really well. I’m not saying Jock is Pau Gasol, but he’s a great passer who understands the game. We can trust him with the ball in his hands.” – 11:39 PM

More on this storyline
Eurohoops: Pau Gasol: I want to make a special mention to Kobe Bryant. I’d very much like him to be here but life is sometimes very unfair. He taught me how to be a better leader, better competitor, what it meant to be a winner. -via Twitter @Eurohoopsnet / October 5, 2021
Eurohoops: Pau Gasol made a huge effort to recover from injury and return to playing last season with Barcelona. The reason? His baby daughter Elisabet Gianna. “I wanted to fight for the improbable. I had the dream of playing in front of my [baby] girl and we fought for that” -via Twitter @Eurohoopsnet / October 5, 2021
Pau Gasol: ‘I am here to announce that I am retiring from professional basketball. It is a difficult and thoughtful decision. I wanted to end up playing basketball and enjoying it, not with crutches. I’m very grateful for having been able to do it at FC Barcelona and for being able to play my fifth Olympic Games with the National Team”. -via Marca.com / October 5, 2021
