Marc Gasol is less interested in his personal landmark and wants to give his best to win the World Cup. FMTNews

BEIJING: Spain’s Marc Gasol is one victory away from a rare feat – winning the NBA crown and a Basketball World Cup in the same year.

Now the centre Gasol, who played a key role in the Toronto Raptors’ run to the NBA title, is on the verge of joining him in the history books. “I knew that committing to the national team this summer would not be easy physically because we were so lucky to stretch our season and get away with a championship,” he said.But quarter-final defeats for reigning two-time champions the United States and title favourites Serbia left the door open for the remainder of the field.

Scola finished with 28 points, 13 rebounds and two assists, and was given a huge ovation when he stepped off the court near the end.
