pau would win, but if they played 1v1, cotton candy would probably keep him shooting jumpshots by the free throw line.

lol Spurs fans calling players floppers. Biggest hypocrites on the net.

Here comes "But Paul flops more than any player in the history of the NBA." No, he doesn't. You all just bitch because he uses the Spurs' flopping and cheap tactics against them.

Ehhh... I don't claim Manu doesn't ever flop. But I do take exception when a Hornets fan tells me CP3 doesn't flop, just as much as when a Lakers fan tells me Fisher doesn't flop or a Cavalier fan tells me Varejao doesn't flop.
I don't have anything against flopping, but just don't show up telling me the water is not wet.

Pau put up something like 17-7-2 as a 21 year old Foreign Rookie.Thats pretty impressive. Then lead his team to 50 Wins as a lone All-Star. Unless he improves his skill level and athleticism exponentially, I think i can safely say Marc Gasol does not have the game to do any of that.

Actually Pau posted closer to 18-9-2 his first year. :wow
But Marc's 12-7-1 is pretty respectable playing 6 less minutes than his bro.

And in Pau's rookie season, Memphis posted a 23-59 record. The 50 win season roster came later on and included Battier, Posey, Earl Watson, Mike Miller, Bonzi Wells and Jason Williams.

Oh come on... the guy alone couldn't make the playoffs at all. Once he had a respectable supporting cast, he was a perennial first round exit. It got to the point where the Memphis management decided he wasn't the franchise player they thought he would be, moved him and his surrounding pieces and started rebuilding again.

I'm not going to deny he's very talented. He is. But he wasn't and still is anything special. He's not a leader. He's not a franchise player. He's a great number 2, behind an actual star player that leads and takes the bulk of the responsibilities. You can draw a parallel between his career and KG's.
And I can totally see Dirk in a season or two taking the same route.

Well, Manu was a franchise player for many years and earned multiple titles. He just wasn't in that position when he came over to the NBA. And Tony did make a leap in '07 as far as playoff performances is concerned, earning a well deserved Finals MVP. That said, he also has not been put on a position to be the absolute leader of a team and a franchise. He might actually get his chance for that, and we'll see then. In the Pau and KG case, they've been trusted with a franchise and failed miserably at that. They only shine now as options number 2 or 3 in a team with other superstars.
