Anything less than a standing ovation from the crowd during his return game and I'll be disappointed in them. The dude deserves it, and I really wish he had been able to retire a Laker. I'll be rooting heavily for him to win a title this year.
Pau was a great Laker and a model human being. I'm grateful for his time here.
Pau's the only guy who you could appropriately call "sweet". Haha. Tell me I'm wrong. The guy is completely void of a temper, vileness, machismo, you name it. Always accommodating to press. The only thing negative he could do is be passive-aggressive from time to time (Kobe shots to much), but even then, he doesn't have the personality to cause a stink person-to-person.
Pau Gasol is a sweet, gentle man. It might not be a coincidence that an alpaca is known to be a gentle animal.
On 2/1/08, I said to someone who didn't know who he was, quote, "We're gonna win a championship. Maybe not this year, but the next two. It's gonna happen." I didn't even feel that way the night we got Shaq. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!
I was fortunate enough to be at Pau's first game as a Laker vs. the Nets. Was so ecstatic to get him and he was instrumental to our championship runs. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
Most overrated Laker of all time. Good player, borderline all-star, nothing more.
Lamar was the borderline all-star, good player.
Pau was one of the more skilled big men to come along in years. He had no weakness in his game offensively for a 7 footer.
Not on the level of the Shaqs, Kareems, Kobes, Magics... but definitely one of the Laker greats and should be universally loved by all Lakers fans.
A stand up guy too. One of the most decent people to ever wear the purple and gold.
overrated? not a chance. 2x champion, 3x all star, 3x all nba in 6 1/2 seasons with purpngold. you think any player coulda just come in and clicked with kobe immediately like that? everyone saw what happened with dwight , shaq, etc.
after their first game together you could tell that they could make something special happen for la, and they did.
