    His mother was a doctor and his father a nurse....and he's only a few credit hrs away from being a doctor himself...so what inspired him as a kid?

    I have a new found respect for Gasol. I did't know Magic was his childhood hero. You are now officially forgiven for your performance last year Gasol...officially forgiven. What a heart this kid had...

    Like millions of other children around the world, the 11-year-old boy watched the television in horror as Magic Johnson announced he had HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.


    Unlike most others his age, the boy vowed to do something about it. He would become a doctor and seek a cure.
    His name was Pau Gasol.


    It didn’t matter to the boy that Johnson, the married Lakers star, announced on Nov. 7, 1991, that he had a virus associated with unsafe sex and intravenous drug use.


    “My perception didn’t change when I heard the news,” Gasol said of his childhood hero in an email recently from Barcelona. “It was just sad to hear that he was retiring from basketball and that his life was in serious risk.”

    Haha, "a few credit hours from becoming a doctor." It takes a little more than that to be an MD.

    Judging by the increased intensity of Giuseppe's posts in this thread, I'd say it was a win

    Hmm...16? The LOS ANGELES Lakers have 16? They played in 2 cities, so 16/2 = 8 rings. Not too bad tho, but Boston has you doubled


    thats it and thats all
