Fresh off the NBA championship and the 2019 FIBA World Cup title, Marc Gasol kicked off his 2019-20 campaign through the Toronto Raptors’ 2019 Media Day. “I can’t pick one parade” he admitted when asked to compare the celebrations after the NBA playoffs and China triumphs.
“I think it’s a very hungry team,” he noted on the new season, “We all understand what Kawhi meant to the team and how well he played in the playoffs. But we also understand how good we can be as a team. So we are going to invest everything needed to be that team.”
“A player is very short-sided” explained the 34-year-old Spaniard center, “When you lose you look forward to the next challenge, when you win its the same thing. I am really energized to face a new season.”
