When people think of Pau Gasol, they will always think of the Los Angeles Lakers first.  They should, but don't sleep on his two years with the Chicago Bulls, where he played the most complete basketball of his career.

A two-time NBA Champion with the Lakers, Gasol was 34 when he signed with the Bulls as a Free Agent in 2014. The Spaniard was an All-Star in both seasons, earning a Second Team All-Star in 2014-15.  Gasol's scoring numbers were slightly down from his Lakers years, but 17.6 was more than adequate.  Where he shone in traditional stats was in rebounding and blocks.  With the Bulls, he averaged 11.4 Rebounds per Game, a much higher total than any of his other teams, and his Blocks per Game of 2.0 was also higher.  This reflected in his advanced stats, as his Bulls' PER of 22.2 was the best two-year run of his career.

Clifford Ray was taken with the 40th pick in the 1971 Draft, but despite that late selection, the Oklahoma Sooner made the Chicago Bulls roster.

Frank Gore will go down in history as one of the most durable and ageless Running Backs of the game.  That all began in San Francisco.

From Chattanooga, Terrell Owens was drafted in 1996’s Third Round by the San Francisco 49ers, and he found out quickly that his talents were worthy of the National Football League.
