what a player Pau. As italian i can say that there is no way we are gonna have a player like that in Italy. He was sensational! Something you don't see anyore in today Nba. A real center, with superb post moves. A true legend
I remember staying up all night to see his debut. I was already a long time NBA fan and he's my age so watching him playing there was a true dream for me too. Now I don't even follow the results of the league.
1:36 the rule changes coz they want to make it more high scoring and fast pace game, late 90s early 2000s NBA became defensive game and slow pace u see some score 70pts, 80pts sometime teams just finished with only 60 plus pts in a game
Yup and 3:08 was not an offensive foul. But the officiating towards international players was horrible back in the day. It was so bias and it was disgusting. It still happens in the NBA and NHL but not as much as in the 90's.
Even in spain thats walking says the commentator 🤣🤣. In spain the walking is still walking not like in.nba where they distorsioned that concept to the bizarrism
Mejor jugador barcelonés de la historia. Mejor jugador de su barrio de la historia. Mejor jugador de su portal de la historia. Mejor jugador de su piso de la historia. Mejor jugador de su casa de la historia. Y después su hermano.

Why you don't follow?
Most underrated legend ever. The reason why Kobe has his 4th and 5th ring when he couldn't get out of the 1st round after Shaq left.
Okay relax
You mean Kobe being the reason why Gasol even have a ring
@@rockyboar7899stop it, kobe is so overrated
@@88pts i agree, just like lebron
@@rockyboar7899 lebron been that guy since middle school, way higher caliber than kobe
First play, first rebound, the beginning of something GREAT.
Refs did not understand footwork back then 😮
At the time I had serious doubts this franchise would make it to the end of the decade
02:44 awesome play with awesome jason williams assistance
Also the first game of the Grizzlies in Memphis!

slow decline of the league- the league got really good up until 2010 ish. then downhill.
They changed the rules to nerf Shaq.
Back then they used to call travelling.
0:55 REBRACA
@ 1:10 thats not a travel

I don't understand what the referees called on those plays, honestly
Memphis got White Chocolate and Spanish bread back then 😂😂😂

Refs definitely giving him the rookie treatment. 😅
he subbing for Stro show Stromile swift former 2000 no.2 pick 😆
big busto
😂like ALICE IN THE WONDERLAND😅😅
Donyell Marshall
In 2001 video quality still looking like videos quality from the 1940's 😂😂😂
Best era for sure though early 2000’s NBA was tough!
Best catalan player ever! Even better than the catalans Marc Gasol, Ricky Rubio, Navarro or Villacampa
