Pau Gasol has big plans for after the Bulls win Thursday

By Kyle Thele

Every player has their own post-game ritual in the NBA. With most games not ending until nearly 10 p.m., it’s not easy to have big plans. Pau Gasol, however, wasn’t going to let that slow him down.

In attendance for the Bulls game Thursday night against the Celtics was iconic member of The Three Tenors Placido Domingo. While the singer was in town for a series of shows, he took time to watch his good friend play some basketball.

But the night for the two Spaniards didn’t end with the Bulls victory. After the game, Gasol and Domingo had plans set to go out for a late night dinner.

This is just more proof that Pau Gasol is unlike almost any other player in the NBA.
