Every wonder the ethnicity of the commanding bearded Laker, Pau Gasol i Sáez (pronounced IPA [ˈpaʊ̯ gəˈzɔɫ] in Catalan). Bborn July 6, 1980 in Barcelona, Spain is the Spanish professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was born to Marisa Sáez and Agustí Gasol, and he spent his childhood in Spain. Gasol was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in the 2001 NBA Draft, but his rights were traded to the Memphis Grizzlies, with whom he won the NBA Rookie of the Year Award.

 

He currently holds the Memphis Grizzlies franchise records for career games played, minutes played, field goals made and attempted, free throws made and attempted, offensive, defensive, and total rebounds, blocked shots, turnovers, and points. After seven seasons with the team, Gasol was traded to the Lakers on February 1, 2008.

Could there be a sweet to fellow Laker Ron Artest.  See Video of Artest
