After many athletes, including coaches and opponents, paid their respect to Juan Carlos Navarro, Pau Gasol shared a special photo with a unique message on his Instagram account.

The two time NBA champion kept it real and unique. He thanked his national teammate, with the following message: “What you have done and given to the game of basketball cannot be expressed with words. THANK YOU. Even in capital letters, it is not enough to show you my appreciation and what you mean to all of us who love this sport. It was more than an honor to grow up next to you all of these years, and I’m sure that whatever you decide to do in the future will be special. Thank you, Navarro.”

Pau Gasol and Juan Carlos Navarro were national team teammates since 2001 and shared many incredible moments together.

No hay palabras que puedan transmitir lo que has dado al baloncesto. Un “GRACIAS”, aunque sea en mayúsculas, no es suficiente para agradecerte lo mucho que significas para todos los que amamos este deporte, y en especial para mi. Ha sido más que un honor haber crecido a tu lado y estoy seguro de que lo que venga a partir de ahora también vas a hacer que sea muy especial. #GraciasNavarro #GràciesNavarro What you have done and given to the game of Basketball cannot be expressed with words. ‘THANK YOU’, even written in capital letters, is not enough to appreciate how much you mean to all of us who love this sport, especially to me. It has been more than an honor to grow with you all these years and I’m sure that whatever comes next you will make it extraordinary. #ThankYouNavarro
