Jim is joined by former columnist at The LA Times and current host of The Arash Markazi Show on ESPN 1090, Arash Markazi, to break down the hall of fame candidacy of former NBA big man Pau Gasol. First, Jim and Arash cover Pau Gasol's arrival in LA and how it instantly turned the Lakers into a title contender (12:18). Next, they discuss whether or not Gasol deserved Finals MVP in 2010, which HOF Celtics frontcourt player Gasol reminds Jim of, and the top European NBA players of all-time (14:39). Finally, they touch on why Gasol may have never received an MVP vote during his career (34:30), before making a final call on whether or not Gasol deserves to be inducted into the HOF (37:24).
