Pau Gasol: "I think I'm very, very tough"

[djohn2oo8]

"I think I'm very very tough," Gasol says, and later when Phil Jackson is told that Gasol considers himself very very tough, he says with a grin, "I think two verys is too many."

Gasol disagrees, apparently mistaking Jackson for a referee, and saying, "I would never have been as successful as I am if I wasn't tough."

Jackson calls it "grit," and says Gasol is lacking it. Others simply say he's too soft. Jackson says most teams come out with the intention of beating him up, "and he is who he is and we can't change that."

When it does appear as if Gasol is playing with more verve, as it did the other night, Jackson isn't buying it, calling Gasol, "nifty."

"Is that what he said?" Gasol says. "That's interesting how he plays with words. But that's Phil. I understand where he comes from. Yeah, he tries to motivate me by giving out those comments, but sometimes I don't really listen."

Or so he says, Jackson knowing differently, telling Gasol the other night Gasol has difficulty posting up New Orleans center Emeka Okafor, and "so Pau scores the first 14 points in the game," Jackson says.

"And five of the seven times he scores, he looks over to the bench. I told him later he doesn't have to look, ‘you know how to motivate yourself.' "

You don't take a piss on your gravy train. Well, you do after you think he backstabbed the previous gravy train and ruined a shot at furthering your fraudulent career, but then when you realize how good he is you go back to kissing his ass every chance you get.

[MmP]

I respected Gasol, but with these comments I've read Im really starting to hate him.

[JamStone]

I think it's very, very tough to believe him.

damn..the OP's sig is AWESOME!

This is almost as bad as Fisher claiming that he hasn't slowed down.

Right, Gasol sucked. That's why everybody was amazed and cried 'collusion' with the trade.:lol

[BlackSwordsMan]

aprils fools!

[HarlemHeat37]

-Phil has implied that Kobe is a rapist, I'd say that's a pretty hard jab..he also heavily criticized him in his book..they're cool now for obvious reasons..if the Lakers don't win and PJ leaves, you'll probably hear more talk from him..

-Gasol seems like he isn't having too much fun this season..he's probably exhausted from playing so much over last year, the Summer and this season, and he seems frustrated with his struggles and the style of play of the Lakers(not getting the ball inside enough)..

-Gasol is annoying and a racist..

[Sigz]

Gasol is weak. Becky Hammon could probably pull a Blair-Thabeet throw down on his lanky ass.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

You ain't tough when you're a nigga KG has bullied.

[cobbler]

Right, Gasol sucked. That's why everybody was amazed and cried 'collusion' with the trade.:lol

No, they cried collusion because he was enough to take the Lakers over the top and many who had no vision or couldn't evaluate talent thought the Lakers gave nothing up for him. Now that all is said and done, the Griz made a great trade. Facts are that Pau never got a post season victory until he joined the Lakers. Not a single one. He may not have sucked... but he's certainly no Laker MVP that a lot of the haters will spew.

Also they cried collusion cuz it was for Kwame Brown. People would have cried "colusion" if Lakers got fucking Roger Mason for Kwame Brown.

[mavs>spurs2]

Seriously, Kobe would shoot 5-27 and the Lakers would lose and Phil would point his finger on anyone but Kobe. I understand his method, but I could also see why the rest of the team are not listening to Phil Jackson anymore.

He wrote in his book that he wasn't surprised when he heard Kobe was accused of rape..LOL..what does that mean?..you're going to twist it, but it really can't mean anything else..before you say he could have meant that he wasn't surprised because of what some women will do for fame/money, he then went on to explain how Kobe has some aggressiveness issues..pretty clear what he meant..

Also, while this isn't proof or anything, he gave Kobe a book about a rapist earlier this season..it's pretty clear what Phil Jackson thinks of Kobe..

Why would he be surprised? He knows full well what goes on with players and the groupies etc. He knows full well the limelight these players are in. I don't have to speculate on what I thought he meant or not. I wouldn't be surprised to hear of any player accused of anything. You can read what you want into his comments. I'm sure your Kobe hatred doesn't cloud your objectivity at all. I'm sure PJ getting fired just prior to the book being published didn't distort his either.

[cobbler]

I dislike Kobe as much as the next person. But it was proven that Kobe didn't rape that hoe. That Hoe, eneded up having sex with 2 other guys, like the next day or so.

Name anyone that gets raped and goes out partying afterwards and gets laid again?

And brags about it.

[picc84]

That bitch was wearing panties with more nuts than Planters.

[HarlemHeat37]

None of those things have been proven at all..they're all impossible to prove..

Anyways, I don't know whether Kobe did it, the only 2 people that know are them..the rest of us have to go by opinion, and I believe he did it..I'm not here to argue about it though, I only brought it up because ChrisRichards said Phil never takes shots at Kobe..I don't want to argue about it, it's sad to talk about, poor girl..anyways..

You guys aren't arguing with me in this thread, you're arguing with Phil Jackson..he seems to believe Kobe is a rapist..take it up with him..send him fan mail, or maybe he has twitter or something..get at him..

[ChrisRichards]

I said Phil never took a shot at Kobe during his second stint with the Lakers which is true.

You dont know that he did it or not yet you have no problem calling him a rapist ad nasuem throughout this board. Saying it's my opinion Kobe is a rapist and Kobe is a rapist are apples and oranges. So PJ saying he wasn't surprised to hear Kobe was accused is PJ saying he believes Kobe is a rapist? Nice stretch!

Phil on Kobe accusation of sexual assault : "Not surprised"


Phils choice of book for Kobe this Season: "Montana 1948".

Plot

When David's family's Native American (http://spurstalk.com/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States) housekeeper Marie falls ill, Frank Hayden, the local doctor and David's uncle, is called. When Marie refuses medical treatment, David's parents, Wes, the local sheriff, and Gail discover that Frank has been preying on the local native American women, raping (http://spurstalk.com/wiki/Raping) and molesting (http://spurstalk.com/wiki/Molest) them. Wes confronts Frank at a dinner at their father's house. Wes and Gail reach a compromise. When Marie is found dead, Frank convinces the family it is pneumonia (http://spurstalk.com/wiki/Pneumonia) which has killed her. Not until later that day does David admit to his parents that he saw his uncle exit their house at approximately the time of Marie's death. Wes goes to work investigating this and eventually arrests his own brother and holds him captive in the Haydens' basement to avoid the embarrassment Frank would experience by going to the local jail. Eventually this all gets too much for Gail and she wishes for Frank to be released out of her home. When Wes talks to his brother, Frank doesn't deny killing Marie and molesting numerous other Indian women. Wes' moral values override his family loyalty and he is obliged to take his brother to be locked up in the local jail the next day. Later that night the family wake to the sound of jars smashing in the basement. In the morning Wes finds that Frank has committed suicide by slitting his wrists with the glass.

Phil took a shot at Kobe a couple of months ago against Memphis. That was the game when Kobe took like 30 plus shots to score 40 points to go ahead of Jerry West on the Lakers scoring list. The Lakers ended up losing that game.

You seem to have quite the sense of humor though, Cob..big comedy fan?..

[cobbler]

Of course you can have a opinion, but you can't call him a rapist without having evidence that he did it.

You can say I believe he did it, but stating " Kobe is a rapist" without evidence is pretty stupid.

Those little distinctions are never grasped by those who hate. Their opinion is fact regardless of reality.

I found Gasol picture to be in bad taste and just silly. I found the uproar about it to be amusing and part of today's society where everyone is so sensitive and nobody can laugh at themselves. I find you still bringing it up just plain hillarious.

You are entitled to take "rape" seriously. I have no problem with that. I am entitled to have an opinion on why I think PJ would send him that book. Was someone actually raped because PJ gave him the book? You really need to lighten up. You call Kobe a rapist ALL the time. Not that its your opinion. You outright call him a rapist. Funny how your superior moral standards have so much disdain over alleged incidents yet don't come into play when you make accusations with no basis in fact.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Man, how did this actually turn into a Kobe thread?

Let's get back on the subject. I fucking hate it when Gasol is like five feet from the basket and instead of going hard to the basket he settles for a mini hook shot that he ends up missing it. Perfect example in the game vs Atl, I can't remember how it happen but he ended grabbing a long pass and was all by himself. He had the lane wide open. He seemed like he was going to dunk it, but the defender got to him quick and he ended dribbling the ball underneath the basket. He manage to get some seperation and he threw a little hook shot that he miss to the right. I think that Fartmar had just knock down a three to cut it to eleven. So that would've cut it to nine with some five minutes to go. From there on I knew the game was over. And he has missed a lot of those this season and it's driving me crazy.:bang

Are you that fucking stupid? Who in hell gets raped and then goes out and has sex with another person the next day? If someone is raped they are traumatized and affected for a long time, or even for their rest of their lives. No women goes out partying and having sex with another person the next night!

Are you?

How do YOU know what women do after being raped? How do you know she had sex afterwards? Are you assuming that a date-raped person, a brutally-raped violent attacked person go through the same emotions?

Do you think ALL women have the exact SAME thought process? Were YOU there---did you know her? Did YOU run the investigation? Does EVERY rape/crime/case ALWAYS adhere to the same exact m.o?

If anyone is stupid here---maybe it is the poster who makes comments like, ``NO WOMEN goes out partying and having sex with another person...blah,blah...''

Have you been around young women? Have you been around people who are not famous when they interact with famous people/celebrities?---Do they ALWAYS use good judgement?

Who knows how unstable her mind/thoughts/feelings were for a few hours or days afterwards? Was she a saint--maybe not--but does that automatically make her hoe--only after money?

off·-color (ôf′kul′ər)

adjective

1.varying from the usual, standard, or required color
2.☆ not quite proper; in rather poor taste; risqué an off-color joke

In other words, have you ever told a polish joke, an ethnic joke, or something similar?

Come on Harlem... you know you have... we all have. Does that make you a racist? No. And neither does ONE picture taken in poor taste. The players, team, and Spanish government explained their reasoning and it had nothing to do with racism. That persons within the pussy politically correct society we live in today can't accept their explaination and dwell on it is sad IMO.

If you honestly believe the Spanish government, olympic committee, staff, and players all contrived to send a RACIST message is just well... ignorant to say the least.

That is far from Phil Jackson's typical verbal. If you read it in context Phil was still being very nice about laying the outcome of the game. Reading Phil Jackson's book the Last season, anyone with knowledge of the situation would agree that Jackson has been respectful of Kobe despite some very horrid shooting performance from him.

And everytime someone shows you for the fool you are.... it's always "I didn't mean that" or "I was just joshing" or something along those lines that imbicles use when they are backpeddling

It was from YOUR post under the thread you started titled:

Gasol, Phil Jackson upset about Kobe's shooting


Phil was upset but he did'nt attack Kobe, there's a difference there. :wakeup

No matter how many times you post it... its always going to be a fabricated lie from you Mormon boy and it's not going to change that fact you OWNED YOURSELF. Keep on backpeddling dufus.

"I think I'm very very tough," Gasol says, and later when Phil Jackson is told that Gasol considers himself very very tough, he says with a grin, "I think two verys is too many."

Gasol disagrees, apparently mistaking Jackson for a referee, and saying, "I would never have been as successful as I am if I wasn't tough."

Jackson calls it "grit," and says Gasol is lacking it. Others simply say he's too soft. Jackson says most teams come out with the intention of beating him up, "and he is who he is and we can't change that."

When it does appear as if Gasol is playing with more verve, as it did the other night, Jackson isn't buying it, calling Gasol, "nifty."

"Is that what he said?" Gasol says. "That's interesting how he plays with words. But that's Phil. I understand where he comes from. Yeah, he tries to motivate me by giving out those comments, but sometimes I don't really listen."

Or so he says, Jackson knowing differently, telling Gasol the other night Gasol has difficulty posting up New Orleans center Emeka Okafor, and "so Pau scores the first 14 points in the game," Jackson says.

"And five of the seven times he scores, he looks over to the bench. I told him later he doesn't have to look, ‘you know how to motivate yourself.' "

I've never said a joke centered around racism, rape or anything like that..so my answer would be no Cob..

If you condone it, that's on you, I'm not gonna try to change you, I'm not that type of person..if you don't think racism and rape are serious issues, that's your strange opinion and belief..

Show me one post where I said rape or racism are not serious issues. Just one.

And I'm going to call you out as a liar as well.... cause I find it hard to believe you have never told or been a participant in telling off color jokes. We all have over our lifetimes. You know that if you answer honestly and say yes i have told some polish jokes or handicap jokes or something similar that I would ask you if that makes you a racist which of course it wouldn't.

I could only hope to aspire to be a perfect saint such as you! :lol

The world will never hear a word from Kobe's accuser. There will never be a book, an interview, anything. Why? Because Kobe Bryant paid her more money than your average person will earn in a lifetime. Wonder why he did that? There is a very good reason why we will never hear one solitary word from that young girl....ever.

Why? For the very same reason she cried rape to begin with. For the very same reason many celebrities are falsely accused by many losers for various reasons. They know it will cause an uproar and the celebs will choose to pay and have it go away since money isnt a concern and the time to fight the accusations and media scrutiny are. Duh.

Accept the fact that not everyone is a bigot like you, who also happens to lacks self esteem who tries so hard to get validation in the internet :toast

You don't know me from squat. You have no clue as to my moral beliefs. You have no idea who my friends are much less their race, religion, or creed. And who really cares what you think? You are just a bullshitting lying turd who own himself and cannot keep track of his OBSESSION. :lol

edit:

And what would you know of my self esteem either. Validation from the internet? hahahahaha I come here as an amusement to kill time and pester the likes of you... and you keep stepping in it. I talk and support my team. I would think thats a natural thing to do. You do nothing but rag on the Lakers and Kobe and create lies to feed your OBSESSION. My validation comes from my family, friends, career, and sporting accomplishments. That you even think you would be involved in any validation i require is laughable at the least. :lmao

Nobody gives away millions of dollars to somene who defames their character. They sue. The trial didn't just abruptly end, it was settled for a truckload of money because he couldn't win, even with the highest paid lawyers on the planet. She has smartly stayed true to the agreement, as to not lose her settlement.

Wrong again!! I called Kobe out for the Shaq comment to the police just like everyone else. Was a shitty bush league move.

Certified rapist? Please show me this certification!

It was Kobe and his lawyers that decided they couldn't win. They settled, which is what you do when you don't like what your crystal ball is telling you.

They settled the civil lawsuit. It was Faber who caused the dropping of the criminal suit.

On September 1, 2004 Eagle County District Judge Terry Ruckriegle dismissed the charges against Bryant, after prosecutors spent more than $200,000 preparing for trial, because Faber informed them that she was unwilling to testify.

So I ask you, why would someone who was raped refuse to testify? Wouldn't her motivation to clear her name be even more profound than as you said Kobe clearing his name? Works both ways.

Kobe settled the civil lawsuit to simply put it behind him. A couple million is a drop in the bucket to him and since public opinion wouldn't change one way or the other regardless of the outcome then why wouldn't you settle?

Post #4 ChrisRichards brings up the name Kobe. Thread goes down the toilet. I mean this dude can't get Kobe's dick out of his mouth.

i would say hes pretty tough for a gay dude

[lennyalderette]

kobe is definitely shady but i dont think he raped that chick, i do know some pretty crazy info about him, but i already said it on here no one paid attention though

Why is Cobbler obsessed with defending Kobe? He comes to his aid like a damsel in distress.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

The worst thing about all this is Laker fans caring more about exalting Kobe's status as the best player in the NBA by acting as if Gasol wasn't a HUGE part of why they won the championship. You are pathetic.

The criminal lawsuit was dropped by the judge when she refused to testify. She LATER filed the civil suit and that was where they settled and she got paid.

Has nothing to do with defending Kobe. Kobe has been a jerk a lot of times. He has made tons of mistakes and pissed many Laker fans off as well, includiung me. I'm just going to reply to the bullshit ChrisRichards spews on every occasion because 1) I support my team through thick and thin... I come to the Lakers defense, 2) though I may not always agree with some of his past actions, he's still a Laker and I have seen him grow and mature over the years, 3) it's enjoyable showing up Chris, Harlem, and Miami for the hating fools they are...

You don't see me going around bashing other teams players for personal issues. If you want to talk basketball well talk basketball. If you want to hate on my Lakers.... I'm going to respond in kind. It's what being a fan is about no?

[cobbler]

I find it hard to believe. Post a link showing you called Kobe out. And I didnt say he was a certified rapist. Reading comprehension owns you.

You said he was a certified snitch and rapist. I'm not going to argue with you over semantics.


What a bunch of morons!

Everytime when talking about Kobe and basketball... the haters always pull the character or rape card as if it has anything to do with basketball. In this country you are innocent until proven Guilty. None of us knows what went on in Colorado. NONE. It's over... let it go already...

Sooooo, lets just for the sake of the silly argument say he did rape the girl. We all know he's an arrogant self centered player. A lot are. So bottom line is... Our arrogant raping self centered douche... is the best NBA player and will go down in history as the best player of his generation and has a shot at going down as one of the best of all time.

Deal with it....


I'm not going to take up anymore time searching for the threads talking about his request to be traded and how he tossed shaq under the bus in the lawsuit era. The history only goes back so far. I have posted many times that Kobe can be petulent and self serving. I also defend his skills and work ethic. That you do or don't believe me is irrelevant. I support my team and its players and you have an obsession with a player and team you are not even a fan of. :bang
