Grizz: Marc Gasol 3-point celebrations. Big Spain shooting 3-pointers now is a revelation for all Grizzlies fans. What’s even better is his celebrations. Over the years, Gasol has given us gif-worthy celebrations like his slap on the backside and shimmies.

Now, he’s hitting clutch 3s and celebrating in glorious fashions. Here’s to many more Big Spain 3-pointers and Vine-worthy celebrations.

NBA: Rising stars. The NBA has seen many great players retire the past year. Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen have all bid their farewells. In addition, we know that, inevitably, Dirk, Paul Pierce and Vince Carter are next. Luckily for the NBA, the amount of young talent is through the roof. We have wings that have the potential to be dynamite scorers in Andrew Wiggins, Zach LaVine, Brandon Ingram and Devin Booker. Explosive young point guards like D’Angelo Russell (and an incoming draft class loaded with elite point guards) are rising through the ranks. There’s a 6’10” point forward arriving soon in Ben Simmons, the most hyped prospect since King James. Finally, the center position is making a comeback. Kristaps Porzingis, Karl-Anthony Towns and Joel Embiid are taking the NBA by storm. They are revolutionizing the position as the game is evolving, splashing 3s and putting opposing bigs on skates at one end and anchoring a defense on the other. Basketball fans, the future is in good hands.
