La Bomba Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Marc Gasol insists he couldn't be more ready to patrol the paint for the Grizzlies. Why wouldn't the 7-footer be, following his summer workout program? Forget for a second that Gasol played a lot of basketball this offseason, helping his national team capture the European Championship He tackled something much bigger than tournament games in preparation for his second NBA season. "Collseroz By Tibidabo," Gasol said, naming the mountain in Spain that he regularly ran for eight miles to shed 25-30 pounds. "It was great because when you get to the top you can see all of Barcelona. "But it's not easy getting there." Gasol, significantly slimmer and quicker, figures the hard work he put in to transform his body will make this season easier. Griz coach Lionel Hollins challenged Gasol to arrive at training camp able to run the court much better than he did during his rookie season. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2009/oct/01/in-peak-condition/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
