Gasol then traveled to Spain where he trained with his national team for the London Olympics. Gasol missed some time early because of a shoulder injury in early July. But he was there when Spain challenged the USA for gold. There was no quit in Gasol when he returned to the Grizzlies for training camp. He didn't take time off and competed hard in ever drill and most of the exhibition games. He couldn't look sharper now that the season has begun. "I just love to play basketball," Gasol said. "I don't know how long I'm going to be able to do it so I don't think about how much I've played. Memphis Commercial Appeal

Marc Gasol: "[USA Team's style] is very open. It reminds me of the style of Mike D'Antoni, with lots of pick-and-rolls, transitions, very open game, everybody shooting a lot, from three especially." El Pais

What would it take for you guys or anyone to beat this United States team? Marc Gasol: “You gotta be very disciplined in order to beat them. You can’t fall into their game. They want quick possession. They want to get the ball and run and go at you and score easy buckets. They have so many players that can score. You gotta give up something. That something you give up is a pretty good player. You can take two or three options away, but the other two are pretty good too. You take away Kobe Bryant or Kevin Durant you still got LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony or Chris Paul. They have a pretty good team, but you gotta be very consistent and very disciplined the whole game or you are not going to have many chances to win.” Sports Radio Interviews

Which American team is better: the Barcelona '92 team or the current one? Marc Gasol: Who has created this debate? They have, right? On a bad day for the '92 team, the current team would lose by just 15 or 20 points against them. Which American player do you find the most dangerous playing FIBA basketball? Marc Gasol: I like Kevin (Durant) because he makes it easy. He doesn't need to do much. He doesn't have to dribble. He just gets the ball and shoots it. He plays well with the ball and off the ball. But with those guys, you have a No. 1 guy and then you have 1B, 1C, 1D and so on. Kobe (Bryant) is also a very dangerous player. He'd be dangerous even with cricket rules. LeBron (James) is also scary. They all have their tools. HoopsHype

The greater certainty, of course, is that there will be plenty of jawing back and forth between Bryant and Pau Gasol, with Kobe pointing out often since Team USA landed Friday on Spanish soil that he sees Marc Gasol's big brother as his little bro in Lakerland. "They like to talk [trash]," Marc Gasol said. "Kobe loves to talk." "He went at [me] a little bit during the All-Star Game. He had all of his teammates around. I felt a little alone there by myself in the corner. But it will be a little different story now that we're here at home." ESPN.com
