Pau Gasol has recently joined hands with a Real Madrid legend to enhance the quality of sports. The LA Lakers legend retired from the NBA in 2019. After that, he went to FC Barcelona for a short stint in 2021 and soon decided to hang up his boots forever. However, Gasol is in no mood to kick back and relax in his retirement years. Recently, the 43-year-old became part of a supergroup that will focus on improving the overall growth of sports.

He has been an advocate for several causes and has championed them over the years. Additionally, he is also a great brand ambassador for sports in general, worldwide.

Pau Gasol’s next mission

Gasol is often regarded as one of the best basketball players of all time. He joined the NBA in 2001 and went on to represent several franchises. However, Gasol’s most successful years were with the Lakers. Hoop fans know the impact that Gasol had alongside the late Kobe Bryant. However, he is much more than a great basketball player, largely due to his off-the-court work. Recently, he partnered with Iker Casillas to change the future of sports.
