Pau Gasol: Defense has disappeared. I don't like that the essence of basketball is lost

Pau Gasol doesn't like that there is almost no defense in NBA basketball nowadays

Pau Gasol doesn’t like that there is almost no defense in NBA basketball nowadays.

“The defense has disappeared. I don’t like that the essence of basketball is lost… which is playing as a team. “Before, if you shot in the first 8 seconds of possession, you would be benched. Now it’s just a run-and-gun game.”

“La defensa ha desaparecido. No me acaba de gustar que se pierda la esencia del baloncesto… que es jugar en equipo”
“Antes tirabas en los 8 primeros segundos de posesión y te sentaban en el banquillo. Ahora es un correcalles”.
