Marc Gasol Spends His Summer Saving Refugees

While most NBA stars spend their summers enjoying the beaches of the Caribbean or Mediterranean, Marc Gasol is out there saving refugees.

Gasol has been volunteering for an NGO, experiencing the European refugee crisis first-hand. The Grizzlies’ big man even was part of a water rescue. In a twitter post, he thanked his NGO teamamtes. What a great guy!

“Frustration, anger, and helplessness. It’s unbelievable how so many vulnerable people are abandoned to their deaths at sea.
Deep admiration for these I call my teammates at this time @openarms_fund“
