Lakers fans, why do you shit on Gasol?

[HOoopCityJones]

All of these big men were better than Gasol:

Garnett
Bosh
Stoudemire
Yao
Duncan
Randolph
Dirk
Aldridge


As soon as Kobe leads him to the promise land, he's the best big man of this era.

Bran forces his big men to play a type of way that's not conducive to their success, while Kobe allows his big men to play within their game.

It's essentially the reason why Shaq/Lebron wouldn't be as successful as most of you think.

No true laker fans diss Gasol. But Gasol/Bynum both get overrated because Kobe wasn't supposed to win without Shaq. Haters had to quickly scramble for a new talking point.

Who's the Laker fan who shits on Pau?

Explain those two please

Here comes The Bron stan coming to pretend Bosh wasn't one of the most coveted Big Men before joining The Heat.

Explain those two please

Not my fault you never watched Bosh play before 2010. I'm not doing your homework for you. Bosh was an EXTREMELY versatile PF when he came into the league. Last year with the raps he put up 24 and 12 EASILY. Great footwork, quickness and jumpshot.

sooo believing that Gasol doesn't belong in the same sentence as Magic, Kobe, Kareem & Shaq when talking about Laker greats is shitting on Gasol??

To say Bosh was significantly better than Gasol, or vice versa, is ridiculous. They're on the same tier, and at this rate, Gasol will easily end up ranked higher than Bosh will be

This is revisionism at it's finest, NO ONE was taking Gasol over Bosh before 2009-10, Fact.

No point in arguing with you. Outside of 2009-2010, Bosh was and is thought of being better than Gasol. We can argue about Randolph, but I'll destroy you on that debate too. Let's just agree to disagree so you can save face.

exactly

ffs David West & Memhet Okur were making the all star game over Gasol back in 08, didn't make an all nba team until joining the lakers..

Gasol averages 18 & 9 and gets all the credit in the world..

yet Kobe averages 30/6/6 and gets zero credit from the same people giving Gasol all the credit..

Gasol on Memphis: 19/9/3 on 51%
Bosh on Toronto: 20/9/2 on 49%

Both did absolutely nothing in the playoffs, and actually missed the postseason more than they made it. So why is one of these players being valued so much higher than the other?

Which was generally the tier he was placed in at the time. With guys like Jazz Boozer, Okur, West, Randolph etc.

He wasn't even in the Amare, Bosh, AK47 discussion who were an entire tier below the likes of KG, Dirk and Duncan.

Bosh was better than Pau Gasol. Just stop. I'm trying to help you.

[TheMarkMadsen]

lets put things into perspective

Gasol was great for us in 09-10, complimented the triangle/Kobe perfectly

however he isn't nearly as good as Kobe haters wish he was..

he just had arguably the best regular season of his career.. there really isn't any difference between the Gasol Kobe played with in 09-10 and the Gasol the Bulls currently have..

and yet.. Gasol shrunk in the playoffs and pussed out in the Cavs series

THAT GUY was the guy who Kobe took to 3 straight finals..

if he was as great as Kobe haters believe, why didn't he step up in the playoffs and lead this Bulls team (which is deeper and has a better froncourt than the Lakers ever had) to playoff success??

I don't think Pau had ever even been to the Playoffs before Teaming up with Kob.

Correct me if i'm wrong.
