    This Day In Lakers History: Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum Power L.A. To Playoff Win Over Oklahoma City Thunder

    The Los Angeles Lakers added yet another NBA championship to their trophy case in 2010, eventually defeated their arch-rival Boston Celtics in a seven-game series that will long be celebrated by the legion of fans. With a young core featuring rising stars like Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden and Serge Ibaka, the eighth-seeded Thunder had the potential to give the Lakers, who finished first in the West, plenty of trouble.

    Hall of Famer Pau Gasol excited to watch Spurs' Wembanyama's NBA career unfold

    From 2016-19, the San Antonio Spurs had in uniform one of the greatest foreign big men to ever grace the basketball hardwood: Pau Gasol. The NBA veteran's best days may have been behind him, but he represented how big men in the future NBA would play. At 7-1, he could stretch the floor, pass, score, defend, and demonstrate a high basketball IQ and a team-first mentality throughout his basketball career, making him a newly-minted Basketball Hall of Famer. Fast forward to the 2023-24 season, and the Spurs find themselves boasting another overseas import with the makings of becoming the next international sensation, perhaps seeing his name in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame with Gasol.
