There are very few NBA players that we'd refer to as a "beast." Blake Griffin? Sure. Dwight Howard (when he's actually playing instead of demanding trades)? Sure. Pau Gasol? Ehhhhhhh. When it comes to the Los Angeles Lakers big man, we tend to side with Chris Paul. But, according to Gasol, he's been focused on getting stronger and playing more like a 7-footer this summer. And, he's already giving himself a new title to go along with his newfound strength."I'm a beast," he told Reuters recently. "I have been preparing myself and working to get better this summer." A beast, though? A beast? We'll believe it when we see it next season. [Read More]

Pau Gasol is taking seriously Spain's bid for Olympic hardware. "I have been preparing myself and working to get better this summer," Gasol, a two-time NBA champion with the Lakers, told reporters at a news conference. NBA team mate Kobe Bryant took notice after Gasol led Spain with 19 points in an exhibition game defeat to the United States in Barcelona on Tuesday.

Bryant said the 7-foot (2.13m), 32-year-old Gasol looked stronger, absorbing contact and pushing back in an impressive display that boded well for future Lakers' success. "I'm a beast," Gasol told Reuters. "Yeah, I feel pretty good. I feel strong." Spain, runners-up to the U.S. team at the Beijing Games, play their first game of the Olympic tournament on Sunday against China.
