Pau Gasol, the 7’1″ center, has racked up the accolades throughout his professional career, both in the NBA and internationally, and much of his success stemmed from his time with the Los Angeles Lakers.
After arriving in Los Angeles via a trade in the 2007-08 season — that saw his brother, Marc Gasol, go the other way — it didn’t take long for Gasol to make an impact with the franchise.
He donned the Purple and Gold for six full seasons apart from the time he played in the season after the trade and won back-to-back NBA titles in the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons.
