Marc Gasol is one of the most physically imposing players in the NBA.
Gasol was named the 2013 Defensive Player of the Year, and started for the Western Conference team in this year’s All-Star game. Known as a bruiser in the paint, Gasol uses his 7’1″ frame to dominate opposing teams’ big men.
In addition to his on court reputation, Gasol remains a fan-favorite in his native country for one main reason; he’s just a genuinely nice guy.
Check out the 30-year-old Spaniard sharing a heart-warming moment with a special-needs fan following the Grizzlies’ Thursday night victory over the Pelicans.
