Pau Gasol is one of my favorite Lakers ever. While Kobe Bryant was my favorite player during my high school years, as a white, 6’4 center with floppy hair, it was always Gasol I tried to emulate in pickup games (tried being the operative word, as I was not good at basketball).
But while my hoops career ending in high school is proof I wasn’t very successful at copying Gasol’s skills, maybe I can translate them to blogging. After all, Gasol’s best attribute was how he was a force multiplier for his teammate’s best abilities; his do-it-all, selfless offensive game allowing others to effortlessly flow off of him to maximize their own talents.
