Pau Gasol

Yeah, i know. I recently posted about Marc Gasol, the bear like brother of Pau Gasol. So why do Pau? It's simple, he was the original bearded Gasol. Without Pau paving the way for bearded Spaniards everywhere, the legendary beard of Marc Gasol could not exist. Marc has started out in the NBA with a giant man like beard. Whereas Pau started out cleanshaven until he showed how awesome he was and then to extend his awesomeness, he grew out a sweet beard. He spent a few year toiling around in Memphis when no one cared. Then all of a sudden he was traded to the Lakers and he was all over the place. He was the greatest import from Canada in over a hundred years. Yeah yeah, he played in Memphis, still no one cares about that franchise. Having started out cleanshaven, you can almost follow his career based on how big his beard is. Every year it seemed that his beard began to grow in awesomeness. The best thing about Pau, may be the fact that his wife is incredibly good looking and I stand by the fact that it's the beard that got him the girl, not the fact he makes millions of dollars a year putting a ball in a net. I still left that the Grizzlies brought in Pau's best friend, and he still was completely unhappy. Wow that must be a terrible place to play basketball. Pau definitely joins his brother Marc as a definite member of the all NBA bearded team. Congratulations to you Pau.

Marc Gasol

You may know about Pau Gasol, the outstanding bearded power forward for the LA Lakers. But, how much do you know about his little brother, Marc? He may be Pau's little brother, but the guy is an absolute beast and looks like a true Spanish monster where his brother looks like a telephone pole. Marc was originally with the Lakers, but while he was still playing in Spanish leagues last year, they traded his rights to the Grizzlies for his brother Pau. This had to have been terrible to find out for Marc. I'm sure that Pau had been complaining about playing in Vancouver and how much the Grizzlies organization sucked, and how the only good thing they ever did was select Antonio Daniels #4 in the 1997 NBA Draft. And now Pau is a Laker and Marc is a Grizzly. That is a tough break. I guess he much take consolation in looking like a man bear. I have known about Marc for quite some time now, with peak interest in him being when the trade for Pau was made. Then the Gasol brothers played for Spain in the 08 Summer Olympics. I'm watching the game and just absolutely fall in love with Marc, who is without question my celebrity comparison. Well, if I put on 100 pounds and few a foot, very soon hopefully. After the game I got a call from my friend. He told me he saw me on TV today, and I was overly confused. Then he admitted that it was the 7 foot version of me. I started to laugh uncontrollably and fall to the ground. I was very happy that someone else recognized the fact of our similar appearance. There are very few people who would want to be compared appearance wise to a 7 foot hulk of a Spaniard, but I take it with the highest comparison. I have to admit though that he was be even more awesome if he spelled his name with a k, but that's a seperate story. We all know the better way to spell mark is with a k, not a c. My only hope is that Marc gets traded soon so I can see more of him on TV since they never show Grizzly games on national TV.
