Chicago Bulls power forward and center Pau Gasol, 35, recently talked about the things he loves to do when playing basketball. This was after his team won the game against the Milwaukee Bucks 100-90 on March 7, Monday, night.
"I love moving the ball," NBA.com quoted the NBA star as saying. "I love finding my open teammates."
During the recent game against the Bucks, his teammates just keep passing to him. The game left his teammates Jimmy Butler, Aaron Brooks and Bobby Portis with injuries.
Gasol added that he loves making the right play. He said recently, he has been "more on the top of the floor being able to make those plays and those passes."
Joining Gasol, Butler, Brooks and Portis in the current roster of the Bulls are Cameron Bairstow, Mike Dunleavy, Jr., Cristiano Felicio, Taj Gibson, Justin Holiday, Doug McDermott, Nicola Mirotic, E'Twaun Moore, Joakim Noah, Derrick Rose and Tony Snell. Their head coach is Fred Hoiberg and their team manager is Gar Forman.
Recently, Gasol also talked about the offseason. He said he does not like talking about the future but pointed out that the Bulls remained his preferred option although he would opt for free agency.
"We'll see what happens," RealGM quoted Gasol as saying. He explained that the Bull's door is open because he will exercise his option contract and be a free agent and his current team will always be his first choice.
In addition, Gasol said he has no idea how hard the franchise may try to keep him. What he said he knows is that economically, he gave up a better deal to be on a team "with the chance to win a ring."
For the basketball star, money is not the most important thing as he also wants his game to be appreciated. He said he has to value other things if the situation does not take place.
Gasol has been playing for the Bulls since 2014. Prior to this, he played for FC Barcelona from 1998 to 2001, the Memphis Grizzlies from 2001 to 2008 and the Los Angeles Lakers from 2008 to 2014.
