• Juan Carlos Navarro (Shooting Guard): "La Bomba" has been a reference point in Spanish basketball, known for his scoring ability and leadership.

• Rudy Fernández (Small Forward): With his versatility and three-point shooting ability, Rudy has been a crucial player for the team, contributing both defensively and offensively.

• Pau Gasol (Power Forward): One of the greatest players in history, with a career full of success in the NBA and international competitions.

• Marc Gasol (Center): Brother of Pau, Marc has been instrumental in the interior game, excelling in defense and showing great intelligence on the court.
