Pau Gasol quotes:

It doesn't matter who gets what. It's just a matter of doing what it takes to win.

Making the playoffs three consecutive seasons is a great accomplishment.

I'm not a person or a selfish player, but we have to move the ball more, and we have to look further the team game, because we have enough talent to use different players.

I won't forget the hood. I won't forget the days of catching a bullet on the way to the mailbox or bricks with death threats that somehow made their way through the window.

I take losses very personal and very serious.

I try to look at what KG does, what Tim Duncan does, what Amare Stoudamire does ... I compare and evaluate myself with them.

You never know when it is your last game or your last tournament,

We have a great friendship that I hope will last our entire lives.

No one could have prepared for me BBQ on pizza. I mean, both are great. But together? It was incredible.

I don't think there's a lot of discipline right now.

It doesn't matter what you've done, but what you're going to do the next game, and that's what I'm focused on.

Nobody had faith in me when I got here except my team. That's what carried me through all the transition problems and adjustments and everything.

The coach has put a lot of trust in me to make good decisions in the post.

All the stats don't mean a thing if we don't get the win. The most important stat is the win. Nothing else really matters if you don't get the win.

I don't settle. That's how I am.

I feel like I can compete against any physical player.

I just need to get more aggressive and let my teammates feel all that energy and all that emotion.

I know that if I perform at a really high level, we're going to have a better chance to win.

I like the fact people consider me unique, one of a kind.

I may not be the most physical player, that's not my nature. But I am a competitor and I play as hard as I can.

I want to be on the floor. I want to fight for the win.

I want to continue to expand my game a little more, build my body and work on staying strong so I can play the way I've been playing, and holding my ground the way I've been holding my ground.

I'm doing my job. I'm doing what's expected out of me, and I'm proud of the way I've been able to perform and contribute.

I'm not the number-one guy here ... if it translates to winning, I don't mind taking a step back as far as roles.

The NBA is tough. Everybody plays hard and every game is vital.

When I'm aggressive and physically feel pretty good, I'm hard to stop.

When it comes to playoff time, I pull the energy and the motivation.

If our minds and hearts are into it, we can be a heck of a team. We can beat anybody.

I want to keep playing at the kind of level where I'll get respect from everybody.
