Live Bar, September 21 -fiba officially announced that Spanish basketball celebrity Paul Gasol would serve as the ambassador of the 2022 Women’s Basketball World Cup.
As the MVP of the NBA World Cup in 2006, the superstar full of honor in the history of the Spanish national team and the winner of the two NBA championships, Gasol has always called for providing development opportunities for women in the field of sports and life.
At the same time, as Kobe Bryant’s MEET U, he has been committed to the development of women’s projects. They have the same vision: not only should they promote the development of women’s basketball, it also helps women’s basketball athletes to give full play to their potential.
Gasol said that female coaches should have equal opportunities to become the coach of the men’s professional team like male coaches. At the beginning of 2022, Gasol also invested a lot in the development of women’s basketball in the United States.
Gasol said: “I am hardcore fans of women’s basketball. Women’s basketball is developing rapidly. I can’t wait to go to Sydney to watch the teams compete for the highest honor of international basketball. The skills, competition intensity, physical quality and passion of participating athletes are amazing.”
“It is a great honor to play for the country in international competitions,” he added, “Basketball is a team sport. The important thing is to pass more balls, share the ball rights, find the teammates who are in the empty space, and play a smooth attack. This is a selfless sport.”
I hope that all the 12 teams can produce ideal chemical reactions and strive to complete the arduous task of winning the trophy.
