Pau Gasol leaves Shaquille O’Neal off his top 10 list

He’s proud to stand alongside fellow Europeans and share this special moment with Nowitzki and Parker. “This class is an incredible accomplishment for European basketball and for international basketball as well. The game has grown so much since we first started playing in the NBA. We can be very proud of having taken the international game to a higher level and very proud of seeing how current players are taking it to the next level. It’s very special to share this moment with Dirk and Tony. It’s remarkable, something that was unthinkable not too long ago. It’s beautiful to share the message that things are possible, things do change and improve, things are exciting, and allow any kid, boy or girl, to dream that they can do it too. That’s the exciting part for me.” -via EuroHoops.net / August 12, 2023
