Marc Gasol wasn't always the modern NBA center he is today. In fact, very few people remember that Marc was in fact drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers and then traded to Memphis in a trade. At the time of the trade the talk of the town was how the Lakers had gotten a steal by trading Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, Aaron McKie and the rights to draft "the young and fat Gasol brother". That is how underrated Marc Gasol was when he came into the league, but he changed all of that by changing his diet to a vegan diet and shedding nearly 40 pounds off his high school weight.
