Lakers Give Gasol Big Responsibility

In the SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS, Tim Orsborn writes "during his six full seasons with the Grizzlies, Pau Gasol always reserved May for visits to his favorite European seaside resort. 'The difference between then and now is I would have been off for a month already,' Gasol said. "I would have been on the beach for a month getting a tan."Postponing his tanning time isn't the only thing that's changed for Gasol. Thanks to Lakers coach Phil Jackson, the 7-foot Spaniard must now become accustomed to something that might make him wish he were on the beach — defending the Spurs' Tim Duncan. " [link]
