Pau Gasol is still a central figure even after the end of the 2015 Eurobasket, following the article of “Le Monde” about…doping. What is his response, though?
During the Chicago Bulls Media Day, Spain’s absolute leader, who helped them to claim the gold medal, remained calm, although he showed his annoyance for all this criticism.
“I would say this is an opinion as well. I am really sorry that things like this are happening. It’s unpleasant to a high extent. However, I appreciate the support of the fans, my team-mates and the Spanish Federation. On the substance, the situations that want to hurt you, are not successful at all. It’s a compliment that they booed me when I earned the MVP award and won the gold medal. I sincerely wish nothing similar to ever happen in any player,” said the Spaniard, who stayed calm, although he has been repeatedly provoked.
