Pau Gasol

[Fusternino]

Just scored 11 points off the bench for Barcelona, winning the Spanish league championship.

He's a winner today.

Way to go big bird!

[Mr. Body]

Senior circuit, right?

Is this guy ever going to retire??!!

Apparently you don't need feet to play in Spain.

[daslicer]

I think in Spain they play 30-40 games a year. That allows him more rest time to recover and be effective.

Why should he if he 1. doesnt want to and 2. there's still someone willing to pay for his services?

No way in the world arm-chair, keyboard GMs should criticize any professional athlete for not retiring. If there's work for them and they want to work, it's their call, hombre.

Oh I agree. I think he should play forever. Why not???


I remember Wilt Chamberlain propping up on creaky knees to play in exhibition events for a few bucks back in the day. You'd see the 60 year old version of him out there pushing up shots over 6'2" white guys, a shell of the former Wilt, but people would come out to see the show. And it paid the rent. Totally on board. Gasol should milk it. He's a f'king legend. I'd say eventually just give him a walker and let him stand near the paint when he's older. I think this guy can contribute to a team until he's 80, or maybe even after he's dead. Preserve his corpse well enough and folks might show up to see that too.
