QUOTES BY Marc Gasol


That's how I was taught my whole life. Like when you get a bad wheel, you got a sprained ankle, whatever you have, go find a way. Give your maximum or your highest percentage possible, for the best of the team. So that's the way I was always raised as far as basketball goes. And everything in life, but for sure basketball.

Basketball is about relationships. The bond that you create by playing together, going through battles together. The trust that you build goes a long way. It goes beyond the game of basketball.

Sport's about patience and keep working no matter the outcome.

Every loss, every defeat is tough in its own way.

I've made pretty much every mistake you can make as a young man, eating and drinking the wrong things at the wrong times.

I make gazpacho with a little bit of bread, so it's thicker, and I like it to be more tomato- and green pepper-based. Everyone has their own preferences, of course. But I think my gazpacho is the best.

Homemade gazpacho tastes different than any gazpacho you can buy because you know exactly how much time it took for each plant to mature. That's why I would encourage buying at a farmers' market or at Whole Foods, because it comes straight from the source to your table.

What the game gives you, you've got to take it.

For as much respect and love as we have for this game, there are other things things in our lives that are important to us, too.
