Marc Gasol: Quiet but Effective

When talking about the game, fellow Beale Street Bears writer Alex Smith said: “How the hell does Marc have a quiet 28 points?”

I thought for a moment and could only come to one conclusion: He just makes it look so easy.

Marc ended his night with 28 points and nine rebounds, making every sequence on the court look absolutely effortless and graceful.

Only the league’s best can casually drain a fade-away over the backboard while being fouled. Yeah, Marc did that.

We all need to sit back for a moment and realize what we have with Gasol. Because of his ability to shoot, pass, score and defend at an elite level, he’s a rare breed.

If you have watched the NBA longer than one year, then you know Zach Randolph is Marc’s true frontcourt compadre. Let’s talk about ZBo’s big game.
