Glad he gave props to Toni Kukoč. Euro Legends who paved the way for guys like Pau to be successful on the level they were. It wouldn't be possible without guys like Kukoč, Petrović, Divac, Schrempf, Marčiulionis ...all whom breaked the ice stepping into NBA from Europe, dealing with prejudices that European players can't ball on American (NBA) level. I remember how Petrović was treated. One of the brightest talents and hard workers ever from Europe. It took years of bench and garbage time to finally shine in the Nets uniform after a trade from Blazers. Made All NBA team . I believe the first European to do so and would got only better if it weren't for the tragic car accident. It's crazy to see how the NBA changed completely 30 years with European players leading the way amongst all talent with guys like Luka, Jokić, Giannis being the brightest stars.
Without Magic Johnson and Bird, especially Magic, I doubt we would see the type of skilled bigs coming from Europe like Gasol. Congrats on a well-deserved award for your career. I hope you do not forget that Memphis and Hesley gave you the opportunity in Memphis first in your HOF speech. However, even if you do forget, you are still one of the best bigs I've seen.
What a hooper. America may forget him eventually. It's possible. As long as Kobe is brought up, Pau is mentioned right there too. And in Europe, especially Spain, he's essentially the GOAT FIBA player, haha!
Pau put fear in lebron when they faced each other LeFraud’s career: 07: Meltdown 08: 35 FG% vs Celtics 09: 1 Point in crucial 4th Q 10: Gave up 11: Bigger meltdown 12: Baby Thunder 13: Ray Allen 14: Clamped by Kawhi 15: 39 FG% vs Warriors 16: Green+Bogut+Kyrie 17: Cooked by KD 18: Gave up/Bullied by Kd 19: Playoff Mode 20: Mickey Mouse Ring 21: Fake Injury/1st Round Exit 22: Miss Entire Play In with 5 Hofers Ad is playing 1 on 5 out there Lebron should have retired after his Poland spring bottle ring in 2020
@@cc-ec1if I just didn't think he would get there..I didn't think they would recognize his career as Hall of Fame worthy. Why does my basketball knowledge have to come into question?? If any body knows Pau it's me. I've been a Laker fan since Magic Johnson..
So did Dwight Howard, Rondo, Melo, Wade, DRose, Aldridge, Kobe, and every other superstar that didn't shoot 35% from 3 by 2015. And if you actually watch games, you'll know he did adapt with the Spurs except he was too old by then. Next time maybe link us a video of "how easy it is to change your playstyle in the NBA" then.

Everytime I see Pau I think of Kobe. I kno times like these are tough on him cuz he kno his brother woulda been there for all these events for him.
Man he is so humble. Have to respect Pau
Wow Each Players and coach inducted from the Heat, Lakers, Mavericks, and Spurs?? boutaa be a packed house and a great night!
Wish Kobe was here to see this. He’s looking down with a smile on pau.
Repping the Lakers the right way. LA loves Pau and Kobe
It’s a shame Kobe won’t be there for the induction!
The great Pau Gasol 👑
What a class act this man is a gentlemen!!
Top 75 player!!!!
Well earned Pau Gasol congratulations
Congratulations! You deserve it 😊
What a career!
San Antonio Spurs Pau Gasol was the best! 😁
Without Magic Johnson and Bird, especially Magic, I doubt we would see the type of skilled bigs coming from Europe like Gasol. Congrats on a well-deserved award for your career. I hope you do not forget that Memphis and Hesley gave you the opportunity in Memphis first in your HOF speech. However, even if you do forget, you are still one of the best bigs I've seen.
Sanonis for sure

2 slivers means alot when you don't play for USA
Congrats Pau.. I have to be honest..I didn't think they would let him in..but glad they did..😎🏆💯

Kobe put him there
Okay well his numbers and contributions to 2 title teams makes him a lock these days. Sorry I shouldn't have questioned your knowledge
@@cc-ec1if no prob..I agree with u👍
@@norvinzor
Pau put himself there...
Is it just me or does the thumbnail call him “Paul” 😂
Congrats to Pau for helping Lebron's legacy, uh, I think
The typo on the thumbnail tho
💯💯💯🙏🏽🙏🏽
Fix that thumbnail, y’all.
to think that he was snubbed on the top 75 and AD put on that list
*@$8.75 per hour*
Pau was 1 of the 2 biggest snubs of the top 75 list, but AD deserved to be on that list.
Nigaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Pau is not a hall of famer it doesn’t take much to make the NBA hall of fame
Pau is DEFINITELY a Hall Of Famer. Besides this is the BASKETBALL HOF NOT NBA.
@@screwyou1692 exactly any and everybody makes the NBA/Basketball hall of fame.
@@screwyou1692 Pau never lead the NBA in anything. Never made first team in anything after his rookie season
don't be this loserish lol
@@dannybuck4445 6 time All-Star, 2 time NBA champ and he nearly beat a stacked USA team in 2008 for gold. Do your research bro
lmao he can't even adapt to new playstyle.
So did Dwight Howard, Rondo, Melo, Wade, DRose, Aldridge, Kobe, and every other superstar that didn't shoot 35% from 3 by 2015. And if you actually watch games, you'll know he did adapt with the Spurs except he was too old by then. Next time maybe link us a video of "how easy it is to change your playstyle in the NBA" then.
