Hard to talk about Pau without bringing up the way he was mishandled by the FO in the last few years. He was well compensated for his time. But so are other quality players with his size, skill, and ability. Wish him the best in Chicago!

So, he's a grown man being treated like a boy and he's supposed to let some fool pat him on the head? If he were 6'5 and had done the same thing then what? _________________ “It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the earth as though I had a right to be here.”

Easily the most under appreciated Laker of all-time and it's not even close!
One of the most skilled 7-footers the game has ever seen.
Hasta Luego Pau, thanks for everything...
Kobe Bryant says "Hi."
Kobe certainly has detractors and critics, but that hardly makes him under appreciated.
No, that's not what makes him under appreciated. What makes him that is degree to which so many Laker fans criticize him for virtually everything he does when he is easily the greatest Laker player of all time. _________________ “It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the earth as though I had a right to be here.”

Loved that moment. Just proved what a little (beep) CP is.
Lakres are going to sorely miss Pau this year...The only seven footer we have on the roster is Robert Sacre and he doesn't have anything resembling the skills of Pau.

He didn't play the defense of a 7 footer anyway and Boozer is just as good as him on offense for a starting 4..

Welcome to the site. You'll have a more successful time here if you'll honor the spirit of threads like this.

No, not at all. Kobe is vastly overappereciated simply because we had NOBODY on the team worth a damn after Shaq left, until Pau arrived and IMMEDIATELY turned the team around into a championship contender...which is why GASOL should be much more appreciated by the fans than he ever has been.
Kobe has NEVER been underappreciated by Lakers fans, ever.

He played pretty damn good defense against Boozer during the playoffs. Pau manhandled Boozer on offense too. Boozer is a tier below Pau.

I guess I missed out on all of the times Pau was mishandled by the FO. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
Game 7 vs the Celtics by Pau was really a gutty performance. My favorite Gasol moments as a Laker occurred in that game I would say.
He was GASTRONG for all the marbles and picked up the team with his play in the pivotal second half power beatdown that was administered to the boys in Green.
Pau was key to that, that was ultimate Pau. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny

Fisher always played his butt off and made huge plays when it counted, agree Fish is probably the most under appreciated of the last 10 years. _________________ .....
