“This has been a topic of conversation since I left Barca in 2001. I’ve always said it would be nice, that I would be excited.

However, as time goes by difficulty rises. Every time I move on it gets more complicated, I want and can continue playing in the NBA. I never say never, but the door is closing,” the center of the Milwaukee Bucks said.

Gasol last played for Barcelona in 2001. He has won two NBA titles with the LA Lakers (2009, 2010).
