    LOS ANGELES (2010 FIBA World Championship) – Being an NBA champion, and the MVP of both the 2006 FIBA World Championship and EuroBasket 2009, has its privileges.
     
    That’s what Pau Gasol continues to discover.
     
    The Los Angeles Lakers superstar, a Spanish basketball icon who led his national team to a world title three years ago in Japan and European gold last month in Poland, will be filming this week in the hit American television series CSI Miami.
     
    The seven-footer will spend three days with a crew filming in different locations in Los Angeles.
     
    This is the second time Gasol has acted in a television series.
     
    He has appeared with LA teammate Jordan Farmar in the American TV drama Numb3rs, a show about the FBI.
     
    In Numb3rs, Gasol played himself but in CSI Miami, the Spaniard will play a fictional character.
