Over the last few seasons, Gasol has been a part of non-stop trade rumors, and was actually traded to the New Orleans (then) Hornets in the ultimately overturned Chris Paul deal.
Despite everything that he went through, Gasol remained humble and professional throughout his time in Los Angeles, and now that he is headed to Chicago, it is tough for most to see him go.

Verdict: We went to Twitter and asked our passionate followers, what is your favorite Pau Gasol memory? These are some of the responses:
