Pau Gasol with the most idiotic statement in the history of basketball

[monosylab1k]

"We have to step it up a notch here in order to be successful down the road and not come down to the wire every single time," Gasol said, "because we're never going to get the benefit of the doubt on calls."

The other 29 teams and everyone who guards Kobe just filed a protest to the office of You've Got to be Kidding Me, but Gasol isn't the first athlete to cry foul about fouls

http://www.nba.com/2010/news/features/art_garcia/02/28/lakers.nuggets/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt1

A member of the Los Angeles Fucking Lakers crying that all calls go against them? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? :lmao

[HarlemHeat37]

This is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard..the NBA should fine him for saying this..it's not even funny, it's just disgusting..

Especially him, he probably gets more calls than any other Laker with his flailing and verbal flops..

[The Gemini Method]

It seems Pau has been taking lessons from Phil Jackson...well, at least attempting to bade the league into calling more fouls his way haha.

[IronMexican]

I think it's a Spain thing. Remember in the Olympics when they were crying over everything?

[HarlemHeat37]

You can feel the racism in his words too..any time he speaks..

[The Gemini Method]

I bet he was slanting his eyes as he made this comment...

[dirk4mvp]

Not getting any calls is probably why he couldn't win 1 playoff game as the #1 guy either.

[j.dizzle]

Pau Gasol = Phil Jackson..No wonder Phil likes him so much. If he starts playing like he did last year he can say whatever the fuck he wants lmao

pau gasol has got to be the world's biggest 7 foot vagina..i swear i'd love to kick the shit out of him in real life. just looking at the guy pisses me off for some reason

[lurker]

I don't think this is as bad as Lebron saying that he doesn't get the benefit of the calls even though he's taken 618 fta this season and averages only 1.7 fouls per game.

[j.dizzle]

Sons, Lebron in the finals = D.Wade 2006 all over again

if he is speaking about yesterdays game god bless him but of the season not so much. last afternoon was sad.

I completely agree. I have never seen him smile, never heard him make a joke or whatever. Great player but looks like a real pain

[lefty]

He is right. The league have purposely lessened the calls in favor of the Lakers to make the games more competitive.

[Johnny RIngo]

Pretty annoying how guys like Gasol and Garnett have turned into enormous douchebags after winning their first championships. Must be all the pent-up frustration from losing all those years.

[JamStone]

I hope he doesn't get another call the rest of the season. What a bitch.

But as someone else mentioned, comparatively, Kobe and the Lakers don't get the types of calls or favorable non-calls like LeBron does. There are a few other good teams and star players that might get more calls than the Lakers as well. But, why would you even make that statement. Pau might as well go to amateur night at a strip club and drop his pants. Fucking vagina.

[Kamnik]

Holy shit, this guy doesn't just look like a pussy, he is one.

[vander]

He is right. The league have purposely lessened the calls in favor of the Lakers to make the games more competitive.

You take the bet or not you pussy shit?

Mono - Ok I take that bet.

Allanon - I showed you where "role player" was. I won.

Change your sig to "I'm Allanon's bitch", Mono. :lol

[bostonguy]

Gasol needs to watch film from last season. I was such a fan of him last year because of how he changed. He was consistent and playing balls out. He was constantly aggressive. I am only seeing Gasol doing that in spurts this season. He needs to be aggressive and play with fire more consistently.

[mogrovejo]

It seems Pau has been taking lessons from Phil Jackson...well, at least attempting to bade the league into calling more fouls his way haha.

Yeah, I was going to write this, Jackson is probably the biggest whiner in the history of the league. What's exactly the surprise?

[daslicer]

And this illustrate one of my many points on another thread on why I consider this guy to be a straight up faggot. You know what I absolutely hate this guy even moreso then Kobe if there was one player I could knock the shit out of he would be it.

[Josepatches_]

You didn't see him a lot.

He's very different when he's not on the court.

Anyway it's sad to complain of the refs when you are a Laker.I can expect that from Kobe but it doesn't have sense when you had been playing in Memphis.

[namlook]

The numbers don't lie. You generally get the benefit of calls at home and the Nuggets were given 33 FTs to 21 for the Lakers.

Kobe is 12th in the league in FT's attempted. Vastly inferior players like Kevin Martin and Gerald Wallace go to the line more.

Marc Gasol shoots more FTs per game than Pau. Kevin Love gets almost the same amount of FTs as Pau, 5.0 vs 5.1 a game.

[picc84]

Its funny hearing Pau talk any shit this year. His vagina has been blown open like Gianna Michaels all season but he's the guy on the team running his mouth the most. If the NBA was Oz he would be Tobias Beecher.

[Dro210]

Some people need to stop reading box scores and watch the games

Lakers play a finesse game, that's why the numbers are low. Kobe is not an aggressive driver, but I'd be willing to bet he gets more calls on jumpshots than anybody in the league (and yes, part of that is because he takes a lot of jumpers). Gerald Wallace drives a ton, and he gets hacked on offensive rebound putbacks. Kevin Martin's game is heavily reliant on getting to the line, so he makes an effort to do so every game. Kevin Love plays physical underneath, Pau doesn't, same with Marc.

Ok then that means you are agreeing with Pau, that the Lakers won't get the calls.

Artest is as physical of a player as there is in the league, he frequently posts up in the paint and takes the ball hard to the rim and he isn't in the top 50 for FTs.

[Dro210]

No, I'm saying you're an idiot for trying to prove his point with FTA numbers.... style of play dictates those numbers.

[namlook]

No, I'm saying you're an idiot for trying to prove his point with FTA numbers.... style of play dictates those numbers.

And you're an idiot for not realizing you agreed with Pau (although probably for different reasons).

Pau: The Lakers won't get the calls

You: The Lakers don't get calls because they play a finesse game

DOH.

[monosylab1k]

^that's not agreement at all. Pau is saying the refs are biased against the Lakers, which is fucking stupid. kill yourself lakerfan.

[san antonio spurs]

Whoever said Pau is the biggest 7footer vagina... Shaq begs to differ. Pau is close second though (Is Garnett 7ft? if so... Pau is third)

[cobbler]

You can feel the racism in his words too..any time he speaks..

I would love to hear your justification for this post. Please show me racist comments attributed to Pau. And please don't bring up the BS "team" pic from the olympics. I'm guessing you cannot.

[monosylab1k]

And please don't bring up the BS "team" pic from the olympics.

:lol I agree, racism is bad unless it's done towards Asians. Then it's just BS.

[cobbler]

:lol I agree, racism is bad unless it's done towards Asians. Then it's just BS.

One team pic... that was already explained a bizillion times for morons such as yourself, does not define a person or his beliefs. These comments are more about Laker hatred than anything else. It consumes and torments all of you and that makes it sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet for us Laker fans.

[monosylab1k]

One team pic... that was already explained a bizillion times for morons such as yourself, does not define a person or his beliefs

So if tomorrow the US Hockey team decided to paint themselves in blackface and take a team picture like that, it wouldn't reflect badly on them?

[mogrovejo]

Kobe is 12th in the league in FT's attempted. Vastly inferior players like Kevin Martin and Gerald Wallace go to the line more.

Bryant
% jump-shots: 77%
%inside shots: 23%

Wallace
% jump-shots: 43%
% inside shots: 57%

And Kobe is shooting more FTs than Martin this season.

It's bizarre the number of fouls Kobe draws when he rarely drives or attacks the rim. You'd have a hard time trying to find another jump-shooter who draws so many fouls like Kobe.

[cobbler]

So if tomorrow the US Hockey team decided to paint themselves in blackface and take a team picture like that, it wouldn't reflect badly on them?

Would it reflect on the team as doing something idiotic. Yes. Would it determine that every player in the pic was racist. NO.

Would it justifying idiots like you and Harlem saying Pau "is" a racist and that many things comming out of his mouth have the feeling of racism. Not even slightly. That can all be attributed to the Laker hatred that consumes you.

Nice try.

[picc84]

You'd have an even harder time finding someone who gets played as close as Kobe does on the perimeter. He gets fouled on the perimeter because everyone knows he's not driving so they can push up on him.

[monosylab1k]

Would it reflect on the team as doing something idiotic. Yes. Would it determine that every player in the pic was racist. NO.

So engaging in racist behavior isn't racist?

Probably equal to about the same number of jump-shooters who put the work in and develop that part of their game.

Your standing there as a team. Someone says... lets do the eye thing...as a joke. You go along in the spur of the moment. You realize afterward it was probably not the smartest or most sensitive move even though it was meant as a joke. After being shown that others are offended you realize you made a mistake and the joke was taken in another light. You feel terrible about the slight and offer an apology.

Now your a racist?

No. It was a hypothetical.

It doesn't require analytical skills. It's plain common sense. Ohhhh... that explains a lot.

The "feel like a racist" part was clearly a joke, based on the fact that Gasol is a proven racist..

Are you telling me that taking a picture with slanted eyes in a clear and admitted attempt to imitate Asian people isn't racist? seriously?..

So if I took a picture and painted my face black while eating fried chicken and watermelon and made it available to the public, that wouldn't be racist?..

I said it was a mistake and doesnt define the person as a racist. One stupid act does not define a person. You have been insinuating in numerous posts that he has shown other aspects to being a racist other than the one pic. As shown by your "feel" post.

Have you ever in your life told a racist joke? Have you ever told a sexist joke? Have you ever participated in anything that was considered off color?

We all have and so have you. For anyone to label your personality and define you as a person based on said casual and rare activity is not at all accurate. Again, it's common sense.

But as usual, when you cannot back your comments, then its just an "ok" joke or some excuse from you.

He's a racist, he plays for your team..just accept it..being a racist is really bad and pathetic, but at least he's not committing any crimes or anything, so you don't have to feel that bad for cheering for him..it's not like you're cheering for a rapist or anything..
