Pau Gasol scoring again
So what, they lined up all the internationally born NBA players and raced and Pau Gasol was the eighth fastest?
No, more like he is the 8th fastest European to get to 10,000 points in the NBA.
Pau Gasol shows more of his offensive creativity, and against Utah he reached the 10,000-point plateau for his career. Dirk Nowitzki, Peja Stojakovic and Vlade Divac are the only other Europeans to get there after having come to the NBA directly from overseas.
Only 286 players overall in league history have scored 10,000 points, and Gasol is the eighth-fastest (in terms of games played) internationally born player to get there.
And obviously Gasol isn’t done.
Laker coach Phil Jackson says Pau has a great chance of joining him and Kobe Bryant on the All Star team.
