Pau Gasol is one of the most prominent athletes on the Spanish scene. The basketball player from Sant Boi de Llobregat established himself as the young star of the Barcelona Football Club in the current millennium, before beginning his assault on the NBA in 2001, with the Memphis Grizzlies. 22 years after that signing, the Catalan is one of the league’s historic players, with two championship rings with the Los Angeles Lakers and his late friend Kobe Bryant.
Pau retired from competition in 2021, and has since focused on enjoying life with his wife Cal McDonell and their two children, Ellie and Max. Precisely some photographs of the family published for the Christmas holidays have gained notoriety on social networks. In particular, the legs of little Elisabet Gianna. The length of these, with the girl turning three last September, has caused surprise on platforms such as X (Twitter).
“Look at the length of Pau Gasol’s daughter’s legs, when she grows up she will be 27 meters long,” highlighted a user on Elon Musk’s network. The photograph in question shows Ellie in her mother’s arms, with her legs going from her stomach to practically her knees. “Catherine McDonnell is 1’75 and her daughter is 3 years old. “That girl is going to be able to change the lights of Madrid’s lollipop from below,” stated another response.
This image already has one and a half million views, as well as 140 responses and more than 600 republications. Most of the replicas are in relation to Ellie’s legs, although other elements of the photograph also stand out. “If Gasol’s daughter has a femur that long… she will be one of the tallest women. Her father 2.15 of her and her mother tall of her. She comes from a family of people of giant height… we could be looking at a girl who is 2.10”, analyzed one user.
“Holy shit, I thought that too when I saw the photo! The mother holds her in her arms to hide the fact that she is taller than her,” read another of the writings, along with a compliment and a possible vision of the future: “The mother is beautiful, and the daughter has the same face as the father. , and he will be able to play basketball.” However, there was another element that social networks especially highlighted: the size of the Christmas tree that adorns the photograph.
“Leave the girl, let’s talk about how they have a tree so big that even Pau Gasol himself has to get on a chair to put up the star,” “And what size of the tree do you tell me? That turkey measures 2.20”, “The three highest peaks in Spain right now are Teide, Mulhacén and that tree” or “Let’s talk about the Christmas tree. Little joke with the effort you have to make to find a fir tree that even Pau Gasol needs to give a chimpo to put the star on” are some of the most notable responses.
