Gasol believed it was his responsibility as one of the elders to pay for the dinner and that it shouldn\u2019t be put on a young player.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Gasol did acquiesce once he learned Forbes had Pop\u2019s card and was buying on his behalf.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">White also revealed how influential Manu Ginobili has been on his career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It\u2019s obvious from his comments that he learned a lot in San Antonio, reveres his time here with fondness, and really soaked up what he could from each player with who he crossed paths.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Welcome to the Thread.
