Gasol Applauds EuroBasket Medal Winners…

As one of the hoops world’s all-time gentle giants, Pau Gasol watched closely as Germany, led by Franz Wagner and Dennis Schroder, turned EuroBasket 2025 into their own private slam dunk contest. They snagged the gold from Turkey’s grip in what might have been the most intense game since two sumo wrestlers tried breakdancing at a disco. Schroder’s late-game heroics sealed the deal for Germany’s victory against Turkey, leaving Alperen Sengun’s superhuman efforts just shy of bringing home the gold.

While the gold glittered for Germany, Greece claimed bronze against Finland in a battle tighter than my skinny jeans after Thanksgiving. Giannis Antetokounmpo showcased his powerhouse skills to edge out Lauri Markkanen’s impressive 19 points and 10 rebounds. Observing the thrilling contests, Gasol gladly clapped away, much like an enthusiastic seal watching a fish-juggling act, congratulating the teams on their triumphs. With NBA stars—like former Laker Isaac Bonga and potential future Lakers hero Luka Doncic—bolstered by their EuroBasket feats, Gasol is keenly watching the road ahead for his beloved Lakers.
