Marc Gasol didn't just give Memphis Grizzlies fans the satisfaction of re-signing with the team at a 5-year max deal yesterday. Marc has satisfied some fans with another level of love for the Bluff City.
The man known as Big Spain never even considered going to another city to play professional basketball.
Marc Gasol: "I've never thought other option that wasn't Memphis. That's why I haven't met with anybody, despite I knew about the interest".

Not only is he our homeboy, he's a regular ole joe who's just as blown away by $110 million as any of us would be.
Marc Gasol: "It's a lot of money. Much more than I ever imagined. NBA is like this. It makes you dizzy".

That's our Marc. Our Memphian. And there's every reason to believe that he'll end up finishing his entire NBA career in Memphis, TN.
