NBA ALL-STAR WEEKEND

February 13, 2015

Marc Gasol

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK

MARC GASOL: It goes different ways. Pau's career has gone one way. My career has gone a different way. We both (Inaudible) aside from my family, South America and Europe and -- Chicago, back to -- people are happy Pau did so well. There's a lot of people that's genuinely happy for him. It goes beyond basketball. It goes to where he stands as a man.

Q. (Inaudible) .
MARC GASOL: I've been fortunate to see how he plays, to see how he acts. How he arrived in Memphis when we all first got there, I thought I was fortunate to see the NBA lifestyle really close. And I had a chance to do the same thing, I had -- I knew how to look at things in a different way, try to do it my way. Hopefully we're going to be a little loose. We've been standing around for so long. Not going to be the normal basketball -- normal NBA routine. I don't think it matters who wins it. I know we both will go for it whatever we say right now.

Q. Pau is obviously a more accomplished player. Was that kind of discouraging for you?
MARC GASOL: No, no. I was really happy for him. Every time I felt that Pau won and I was able to be in those Finals and watch him play, I felt like -- it was incredible. I knew how he felt, how he was feeling. I watched his face when he lost the first time. And then to come back and do it again and win it with back-to-back. I was just happy for him. And I felt like i was with him in a way down there.

Q. (Inaudible) .
MARC GASOL: I don't look that far -- I never look that far. I always thought about the next challenge right in front and wherever that took me I was happy with. I took my job seriously.
