Marc Gasol Continues Passing Wizardry with No-Look, Behind-the-Head Dish
Marc Gasol continues to be a delightful enigma.
The Memphis Grizzlies center is a 7'1" goliath—the apparent spawn of a slow bear and a curious woodsman.
He does all the hammering and rebound-ripping a meat-and-potatoes post monster should do. His creativity, however, is where he sets himself apart from other double-double machines.
Gasol is the Spanish Larry Bird—a distinction he proved once again with a ridiculous behind-the-head pass to Tony Allen during Memphis' 103-92 win over the Brooklyn Nets.
The assist occurred during the third quarter when Gasol reeled in an entry pass, dribbled once and dropped off a nifty behind-the-head pass to Allen on the baseline. Two points rarely looks this good.
On the other side of the coin, however, was Gasol’s lunch-eating poster dunk in the fourth.
Memphis ESPN radio host Chris Vernon uploaded a Vine of the Grizzlies center finishing a pick-and-roll with authority.
He can flow around you like a river or crush you like a rock. Marc Gasol, everyone. The enigma continues.
