Meanwhile here in Spain, Marc Gasol is ready to play for Girona Basket in the 2nd National division, the same team he owns and runs as president, which is crazy. He's trying to get the team back in the ACB League before retiring. What a pair of legends.
Viva España coño 🇪🇦🇪🇦

@@barca29np I'm not gonna pretend to know anything about Spain but how does this country have so many parts of it that want to secede and be independent lol.
@@KingofNewark I'm not saying i want freedom from Spain rather exactly what our father blas infante wanted justice liberty and autonomy and agricultural fairness. Peace

The Gasol's were outstanding. Pau was a beast and a great player in Memphis, LA, Chicago, and the rest of his stops. Marc was a super beast and will be remembered as one of the best second-round picks in NBA history.
Truly I am going to miss the Gasol brothers NGL , just absolutely what an end of an era for these two
Yeah man grew up with that savage Memphis D
Easily the two greatest players in Memphis Grizzlies franchise history who will both be inducted into the Hall of Fame once there eligible
Facts but I think ja will pass them
@@ChiefOttoSo to early to say rn but ya if Ja keeps it up takes them deep into the playoffs ofc I love Ja he’s like KJ but more explosive and better shooter
@@ChiefOttoSo He can easily pass pau but he needs to do more in order to marc
@@ChiefOttoSo we don't know how long he'll play there
@@bosnian2339 yeah, nowadays players dont tend to stick to small market teams that long unless they have a good supporting cast, lets hope Jaren jackson can develop into an allstar level player
Pau was one of my all time favorite players. His play style down low in the paint was nice. He wasn’t a bruiser in the paint like Randolph or Duncan. He beat you with finesse. His mid range game was unstoppable. As for Marc he was the glue that held the grizzlies together. He was the heart and soul of those teams.
I'm a spurs fan and I remember the 2017 playoffs where the spurs battled with memphis and damn it was one of the best playoff matches I've watched
Did you say just Duncan was a bruiser lmao? Duncan was finesse most definitely not no bruiser…
@@LegendOfKhaos12 I paused there too. He's actually more similar to Duncan.
Kobe+Pau were such a great duo and Kobe was so happy with Pau.
Pau is underrated and wasn’t just a sidekick next to kobe
@@tj5180 Both Gasol brothers are underrated. But Kobe/Pau were just epitomy of two complimenting professionals.
I still remember the All Star game where they both are the Starters. Insane!
Do you remember the fold medal game vs the USA redeem team?
2015?
For us Spaniards they're a real inspiration, and we're so gratefull for what they've done and their legacy.
The Gasols are the best brothers in NBA history!
Lonzo And LaMelo Are the best wym
@@tracy4425 Lonzo is just average now Lamelo has great potential
@@tracy4425 How old are you bro?
Good thing Marc got a title before retirement
Nope. Its Michael Jordan and Deandre Jordan.
Pau's 2006 season is so underrated. He was playing on one of the three slowest teams ever (when you actually account for opponents possessions) and he was producing KG numbers. He was the ugly game version of Jokic where everyone moved around him and he'd deliver from the low post over and over again. The play style of the team was just not as flashy because hubie, despite being great, was still kinda old school in that aspect . He made the all star team on a grizzlies team not even the people in Memphis cared about (if you liked basketball, you watched the tigers)
As for him not being a bruiser, he had no center for most of his career there. TD or KG tended to have a center that would help them with the dirty work but Pau's best line ups on the team didn't have that. You're gonna look soft when you have to play as the point power forward on one end while having a brick defending you and then go to defend the other's best player on the other end
They both had great careers
I watched Marc Gasols go against the neighborhood kids when he first moved to the states when Pau was drafted in Memphis
Great video! However, you left aside a huge part of their legacy: they're amazing people outside the court. They'd take holidays off in Africa to help kids and stuff like that. Super down to earth, they've never been troublesome guys, more like the opposite. Great guys and great role models.
Marc Gasol is maybe the only player I loved to watch on defense bc he defended so intelligent. especially as he got older and less athletic, he was still a positive defender because of that
I don’t think anyone will forget that. Holding Embiid to 0? Legend.
Going to miss the Gasol brothers.
I don't think there will ever be 2 brothers that were as dominant
Same. I grew up watching Pau, and as a young adult both of them. My childhood gets another shot in the gut lol
@@sydguitar99 You forgot about the best brothers in the NBA. Caleb and Cody Martin
@@sydguitar99 Brook and Robin Lopez?
Next will be Lavar and LaMelo Ball and probably LiAngelo.
EDIT: And also the Curry brothers.
Love from Spain. Pau is one of the few athletes that made me feel special things when watching them. What a legend.
pau in the nba was pretty good but ppl dont know this that he is considered the best at international level
Marc and pau are the best sibling players ever
Pau is in my top 5 all time favorite players (2009-2010 lakers fans know how great this man is)
I’m a magic fan,those years were devastating for me,but Kobe and pau were just to perfect together. During that time pau still was one of my favorite players! Kobe was the Lakers leader,but he never had to lead pau,he already knew what needed to be done. One of the best duo’s in nba history. Period.
Pau is a legend, top 10 power forwards of the history and very underrated 2008-2012 he was the best power forward and with 35 years old in chicago ,he was the best power forward with anthony davis, hof and very underrated and marc for 4 years he was the best pivot in the nba
One was an offensive juggernaut, a great second option to a championship team and a great icon to an entire fanbase.
The other was the co-driver of a team's unique system in the era of the three pointer, a juggernaut defender and the final piece to another championship team.
Good luck to both of them!
Pau Gasol is underrated watching him play was fun to watch
Why Jalen Green will be the next Kobe Bryant???
Love Andy Saturday’s!!!!
Dude, you just made yourself 40 million of fans. As you see in the comments, we Spaniards are so proud of Pau and Marc, two Legends and HoF. Thanks for this
First Pau is the best of the Gasol brothers period he was a big part of the Lakers championship run.
@@Laszlo_Vasko maybe prime Marc could have helped won chips for that Lakers squad im just biased towards Pau because I’m a Lakers fan lol
@@MaxAndersonn your not lying pau is a is better he got 2 chips and was the 2nd option next to the greatest laker and 2nd best player ever kobe only behind mj.
great video for great legend of the nba and the spanish team.
Pau Gasol arguably was probably one of the best of the two and he was an integral part of the Lakers 2 championship runs
6X All Star
All-NBA second and third team 2X
NBA ROTY
2X NBA Champion
Pau was obviously far better, he should be a borderline Hall of Famer but if you’ve got Chris Bosh in there then Pau will get in too. I can’t see how anyone thinks of Marc Gasol as a Hall of Famer. Good career, not great. A couple all-star and all-nba selections, one time all-defense and DPOY. Career 14pts 7rebs, that’s not a HOF resume by any stretch.
@@logicaldude3611 Ohhh you forgot a ring. And DpOY is meh? That's half off the game dude.
@@logicaldude3611 not just nba career is taken into account for the hall of fame
Yeah but mark dominated the west for years as the best player on the team, they got robbed of 2 wcf appearances because Randolph got suspended and mark peak was better he was close to pau in scoring, better three by miles, better shooter, one of the best passers of all time and defensive player of all time yeah Marc is better
@@logicaldude3611 because of his peak lmao Marc is better than Bosh or pau don’t let accolades fool you and honestly I’d take one first team all nba over 3 2nd and 3rd teams like pau especially considering the year he was first team the center position was finally starting to get back loaded
Great video
I had always hoped that Mark and Pau would team up on one team together either in LA or Memphis… Sadly won’t get to see that but it was great seeing them play over the years in their prime.
the notion that european players are soft is such a smooth-brain misconception... even now euroleague players have shown that they can be amazing in the NBA... and FIBA teams have kicked team USA in the teeth from time to time...
american "experts" talk like they have a monopoly over the opinion of how players are or should be...
That notion in NBA perspective was before the league went all floppy and soft. Back when the league actually plays defense they are actually the tougher players. Now unfortunately the league prefers offense than defense which resulted in players becoming too whiny and soft.
@@Railgun003 i agree... after all, high scoring games means higher ratings and more revenue...
I feel that stigma has been gone for over decade but bust after bust the 2 decades before that earned the stigma.
Yeah, perception has changed. But there were a string of Euro busts and the NBA was far more physical then than it is now. Team USA's bigs now are all finesse guys instead of the bruising types, so it's a challenge for the US to win the battle of the boards in international play.
I'm going to miss Pau and Marc. It's an honour and privilege to watch both of them battle it out in an NBA court.
Andy the mf-ing goat, love the gasol appreciation, you're archiving history for the future man
I still think they’re a little underrated. I was hoping Marc would’ve came to the Spurs the year they signed Aldridge, and I also was hoping Pau would come sooner than he did.
These 2 a definitely FAN FAVORITE!!!!!!
True! Well said.
love that Air song in your intro
Great players coming from Spain 2 the NBA both have spots in the HOF someday
It’s funny how Rubio plays like Steph Curry when he’s in Spain 🇪🇸
People though Rubio was the next nash
Ricky is awesome in Fiba. Not so much in NBA given his lack of athleticism
As an spanish, the Gasol brothers changed the basketball in Spain, and It became so popular, Two Hall of famers.
Didn’t like Marc’s game at 1st but definitely grew on me glad he got a ring but yea I’m not thinking of a better brother duo
Really good!!!!
Awsome video
I wish Pau joined the Spurs earlier instead of going to the Bulls. Would have loved seeing him play with Tim Duncan and that poetry in motion offense Pop run in 2014
It would've been amazing to watch for sure
That pic of Marc with the Larry O goes pretty hard 🏆
The Gasols are what we view the Antetokounmpos now (imo). Brothers who were great in their respective fields, though one obviously shines more than the other/s it doesn't mean their worse - they are simply a family that's gifted to play in the basketball world's 1% which is the NBA.
Very uneducated take. While Giannis is clearly superior to Pau, he still has to beat his accolades. Thanassis is a towel waver while Marc was a defensive player of the year and several times all star. Getting his number retired and when he won a title he was a key piece of that team not waving towels.
I'm surprised that you barely mentioned their Olympic runs. Yea they won silver, but that was against two of the best Team USAs ever, and they made those games competitive and close. 2008 required late game heroics from Kobe and Wade to close out.
Those Spanish teams were beast.
Hearing about the Spanish team in 2008 was the first time I ever thought, "Wait, there's another country that can go toe to toe with all the USA talent?" The Gasol Bros have a special place in my heart for that. And Pau rescuing Kobe and the Lakers like a superhero.
Also, both extended their range later in their career to 3 point land, which is aweseome.
Dude I love the early Pau footage. I wish it wasn't so zoomed in.
Basketball IQ is an over used term. But it applies to both of these guys in spades. They knew their role. Played it well. The "piece" alot of teams could benefit from. They got it done.
They were great players. Hall of famers, 1st ballot.
Marc Gasol doesn’t have a HoF resume by any stretch of the imagination. Pau kind of does and will get in because you’ve got people like Bosh in there now.
I gotta watch this just off title, hits play.
I love both Gasoline brothers! Beast mode Pau between 2009 & 10 was unstoppable! IIRC, Marc was in early MVP conversation back in 2017. Anyway, I thought Marc got hosed in LA, and I am a Lakers fan… I thought he was utilized properly.
By the way, could you do a video on Horace Grant? Was he just another piece on a championship team, or was he somewhat a star PF the Orlando Magic made him to be?
The 2 years Pau played in Chicago were superlative. They have been overlooked because they didn't win the title but I watched almost every game in that 2 years and Pau was a giant.
At one point It was a toss up between who was better between Marc and boogie in like the mid to late 2010s. I can’t remember the exact season.
Marc play high school in america. In Memphis TN. While pau was on Grizzlies
Lakers had no championship chances without pau,he deserves more credit than people give him for his time with the lakers. It must have been a dream for kobe playing with a guy who gives 110% every night,has zero selfishness,and was committed to being a champion.
Thank you and God bless
Do you believe they belong to the hall of fame?? I d say yes!
idk about Marc but Pau is a lock for the HOF
Pau is a lock imo, but Marc should make it somewhere down the road too.
@@aelfwine4anarhin The Hall of Fame also includes the contribution to the game in general, not only for NBA. Both have also been great contributors to the Spanish national team.
@@thekububeach Pau is a HOF just from his FIBA accolades alone but Idk if Marc gets in even with the international awards
@@aelfwine4anarhin Marc Gasol has achieved more than Yao Ming so that's the standard I used to say that he deserves it. Marc Gasol even has achieved more than Pau if we look at the Spanish National Team. He has won 2 gold medals at the World Cup while Gasol only won 1.
Crazy enough we are doing a project about famous Spanish people and I’m doing Marc gasol
Both Gasols are versatile, in their primes in Memphis both were the best players in the team and the best centers in the nba.
Im INTERESTED to see Pau after basketball and if he goes into Medical Field like he once planned..it will be interesting if he does
Very underrated
"How good was Anthony Mason actually" video please. This was a great one!
The intro just sums up the video
Always liked the gasols, Pau will be in the HoF sooner than later, Marc might take a few attempts but he'll get there
Great players!
andy hoops🔥
Both brothers are beast.. I saw Pau dominate Yao Ming and KG, in a few of there match ups, he was not soft like the EU stereotype. Marc was a baller, high bball IQ and defender. Best bros to play in the NBA, better than Steph and Seth, and LaMelo and Lonzo.
Underrated players , going to miss watching them play
I personally don't think they are underrated but it's just that there are so many players in the position that they play that are better than them.
They were both good enough to have their own video
Eurobasket 2015, Spain-France. with a 36 years old Pau. That game sum up his career. Marc was allways a bit behind. Pau is a Legend in Spain, and trully a gentlemen and a figure to respect. i Grew up with them and the golden generation of Spain basket. they will be missed
36 y/o Pau demolished a French team full of NBA talents, including Tony Parker in his prime, Gobert, Fournier, Batum, Diaw, De Colo, Gelabale... he did it *in France*, with 40 points, 11 rebounds, 3 blocks and completely dominating both in the paint and from three. The final against Lithuania was almost a parade. The semi was the real final. That was one of the most impactful individual performances in international basketball ever. Every basketball fan should go see that whole match replayed on youtube.
Pau is one of the reasons I became a Memphis Grizzlies fan and Marc was just as good as his brother
Spain legends 👌😭
Pau was not traded to Bulls, he signed there as a free agent summer of 2014
I had a chance to meet them both this summer on a training they had with the Spain basketball team and not only were they awesome players also awesome people. Los mejores hermanos de la historia de la NBA sin duda!!!
Do you have a facebook page, Andy?
Happy that they both won a ring
It’s crazy to think that they were traded for each other and both players and franchises benefited from that also I make videos as well
Can you comment without self promoting?
@@jak5714 at least they are not spamming links in every comment
I remember Andy had 40k+ sub. Now he has over 400k xD
Pau was the best big man in the pick and roll that I've ever seen. Even better than Karl Malone. When the Lakers had Dwight Howard for a season, and when D'antonni started running PNR with Pau as the screener instead of Dwight, they had the most unstoppable play I've ever seen. Pau would set a screen and move to the pick and pop spot-the guard would pass the ball to Pau- if the defender stayed at home on Dwight, Pau would knock down the 18 footer-if Dwight's defender came out to challenge the shot, Pau would throw a lob to Dwight.
@4:05 no help? Jason Williams(white chocolate) Mike miller( champ) Shane battier(champ) james posey(champ) Lorenzon wright(R.i.p) and others. Pau had help and oh yeah im from memphis btw. Go Grizz!! 🐻
A first ballot hall of famer and a perennial top tier player.
I don’t want to hear any of you kids in the comment section say they were underrated when they never were. These 2 both had great careers and played big roles on championship teams. Us real basketball fans know what impact they had on the league. Just a shame they’ll get called underrated by these casuals these days
Pau vs Kg 2010 finals 🔥🔥🔥
very good
Both Gasol brothers are future HOFers.
I just realized why isn't Pau Mentioned as the top best PF when he is an Olympian and All-star and a 2time NBA champ
Marc was a great player and tbh he's underrated its just sad that he had to retire pau should had more all stars if he didn't have bad stats but he's getting old so basically he deserved to the retire
Wow I remember him going to Chicago but I don’t remember him being there two years or doing that well statistically. Weird
FEEL the trumpets!!
Pau was really good, people forget really quick
Andy Hoops to say Pau had no help? Starters Jason Williams and james Posey traded to Heat won nba titles in 2006 Shane Battier and Mike Miller 2012,2013 Memphis didnt draft well after Gasol did have good role players
I like both brothers but I'm a raptors fan so I love Marc the most lol
the vesely image at the end jajaja
Who’s your fav Gasol brother? Pau was my favorite.
You had to include the national spain team part
Those two were like the Klitschko brothers of the nba. They kicked ass and had awesome careers.
They made those Spanish teams true contenders on the world stage. I wouldn’t have been surprised if they took a gold medal unfortunately for them it didn’t work out.
Make a video on how good was alonzo mourning
Pau did get bully in the finals by KG so he went to work in the off-season and improved his game and had a great finals on 09 and 10
You cannot believe how much influential the Gasol brothers have been for this sport in Spain. It's thanks to them that a whole generation has become a fan of basketball.
