NBA Players Show Respect And Appreciation To Pau Gasol Upon Retiring 

Yesterday, 6-time All-Star, 2-time Champion, 4-time All-NBA Team member, ROTY, 3-time Spanish Champion, 3-time Olympic medalist, world champion, and European champion Pau Gasol retired from professional basketball.

The accolades I listed are just the framework of an incredible career, as Gasol will go down as one of the best europeans to ever play the game.

After his retirement was announced, many players came out to show him respect and appreciation. 

Congrats on a great career @paugasol !!! Was an honor playing with you and against you bro. pic.twitter.com/5fwc0Kj3Dt
