Pau cheesed brother Marc has better NBA 2K17 rating than him
For the fourth year in a row, veteran All-Star Pau Gasol is going to have to accept the fact his younger brother Marc Gasol has a higher rating than him in the annual NBA 2K video game.
While attending the premiere of NBA 2K17 in Madrid, Spain on Wednesday, the 36-year-old San Antonio Spurs center jokingly said he's "pissed" his 31-year-old sibling beat him out yet again. Pau's rating will be an 84, while Marc's is 85.
