HIROSHIMA -- Pau Gasol and Dirk Nowitzki provide the headline attraction for Monday afternoon's 4 p.m. game here.
Both are NBA All-Star forwards. Gasol collects a lofty paycheck from the Memphis Grizzlies. Nowitzki's millions come from eccentric Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban's bank account.
Both giants provide their respective teams, Spain and Germany, incredible exposure on the national and international levels. And both players do the little things exceptionally well.
