Spain and San Antonio Spurs big man Pau Gasol are getting ready for Spain’s big EuroBasket quarterfinal showdown with Germany by schooling poor Willy Hernangomez in the post during practice.

As the video he posted on Twitter shows, Pau gave Willy a good dose of his patented post skills as he drained a pretty fadeaway jumper. It was good defense from Hernangomez, but just better offense from the legendary Gasol, who has probably done that to Hernangomez and other young Spanish bigs countless times in practice over the years.
Even at age 37, Gasol is still having himself a very good EuroBasket. He’s the team’s top scorer in the tournament (15.6 points per game) as well as the leading rebounder (8.4). And apart from his excellent production, he's also providing Spain's next top big man some invaluable lessons which he can use in the future.
