I'll never forget when I met him 4 years ago in my town. He wasn't famous even in Spain.
He was playing with the Spanish team and after the game, they were around the stadium. Gasol wasn't here but there were he, Dueñas, Navarro and more spanish players. We shaked hands and talked a little. I said to him that he was my favourite player and all that shit and he said back, looking at me 'I bet this is the first time you've ever seen me playing basket and that you didn't ever knew that I existed, right?' and I responded 'Well, yes...' and he said then smiling 'Hey, I know. I'm just playing in this shitty team and nobody knows me but watch me, dude, watch me and you'll see.'
When he went to the NBA a pair of years ago I almost shitted myself. I bet he remembers me. Also this guy won a World Championship, 2º in Europe Championship and 2º in the Olympics. So... Calderón is AWESOME in my book.
And seriously, he is a funny guy.
