Gasol: Bulls must understand championship windows 'close fast'

Pau Gasol has been a part of two championship teams, played alongside some of the game's greatest players and tasted the postseason 10 times for three different teams.

And yet despite his consistent success over the course of his 14-year NBA career, the Bulls center is mindful of how quickly a team's fortunes can change, meaning every opportunity to chase a title is a crucial one.

"The window is very small. You never know when it's going to close. You just know it's going to close fast," Gasol told reporters on a conference call from South Africa, where he's participating in the NBA's Basketball Without Borders program.
