Marc Gasol: More than an All-Star

It’s perfect, really.

The All-Star Game representative from Memphis’ heart and soul, the Grizzlies, is none other than the man who’s been there from the start.

Marc once told the media, “My first day [at Lausanne Collegiate], they would ask me what grade I’m in – and I couldn’t respond. What grade I’m in? I don’t know – I’m Marc. I play basketball. I’m from Barcelona. That’s it.”

See what I mean? Perfect.

Marc, once a chubby 6-foot-10 minority student at a local Memphis prep school, is now a THREE-TIME NBA All-Star for his hometown franchise.
