"At the end of the day we all have to look ourselves in the mirror and ask ourselves, are we doing enough?" Gasol said during a long, thought-out answer. "Are we doing enough to contribute? Am I worrying about the right things? Am I worrying about the collective or am I just worried about what I do on the floor or the shots that I take, how much am I scoring, how much am I playing? All those things are the wrong approach to winning, so I think if we are able and capable of changing that approach individually and collectively, I think we'll be in a better place."

"I mean habits are hard to break," Gasol said. "It doesn't happen overnight, but you can build on them, you can build out of them. I think that's a conscious effort that needs to happen, and it can happen. Once you put yourself to the side and you start putting the team first, and doing what's best for the team. Understanding what do I have to do personally and individually for the better of the team, that's when things start to work out and things happen the better way for you."
