False. Lakers are playing D-leaguers who's stats look decent because of D'antoni's system, with Hill, Johnson, Meeks, Gasol, and Young playing 40+ games. Odom, And Butler were better than the trash on this roster. Kobe also missed the playoffs btw.

" In the fourth quarters of the first four games in the Finals -- 48 minutes of action -- the Lakers had 82 possessions. In those possessions, Bryant had 57 touches. And within those 57 touches, he was 7-for-26 (26.9 percent) from the floor, scoring only 28 points.

In the fourth quarter of Game 5, he was 2-for-6 (33.3 percent), scoring nine points. In the last five minutes of the game, when the Lakers were down by as many as eight points, he had zero field goals and five points from the line. Making his game total of 38 points pointless.

Pau Gasol: The Real Finals MVP (http://www.behindthebasket.com/btb/2010/6/19/pau-gasol-the-real-finals-mvp.html)
The most straight-forward way of looking at this debate is that the series was decided by defense and rebounding. It was a low-scoring, poorly shot affair all around, and the Lakers won the rebounding battle by a landslide in their four wins. Gasol was by far their most impressive rebounder in the series, leading everyone in both the amount he collected and his skill in doing so in the trenches, picking up the tough ones in traffic (not the long caroms that guards usually end up with). On top of that, his strong interior defense set the tone for the Lakers, who rode their defense to the championship; Bryant spent the series playing centerfield far off of Rajon Rondo, certainly not a stopper or defensive game-changer in any capacity.

Michael Jordan.
02-08-2014, 01:09 AM
Statistically, Gasol's input in his Lakers' title defense was significantly more important than that of Bryant. Obviously Kobe's 29 points per look better than Gasol's 19, but it was simply the result of shooting an insane amount of shots at a low percentage. Although the Lakers shot a pitiful 41% over their seven games with Boston, Bryant actually made things worse by shooting 40% (66-163). Not only that, but in a series full of close fourth-quarter battles, Bryant shot an abysmal 31% (11-36) in the games' final periods. Gasol connected on a team-high 48% from the field, hitting 43 of 90 attempts. His efficiency from the field was instrumental in stressing a tight Boston defense.

Michael Jordan.
02-08-2014, 01:11 AM
From a distribution/running-the-O standpoint, Gasol far trumped Kobe in the Finals. The big Spaniard lead the entire Laker squad with a phenomenal 26-13 (2.0) assist-turnover rate. He did a great job passing out of double teams, passing out of the low-post, high-post, perimeter, etc. The only player to accrue more assists on LA was the primary ball handler, Bryant, who handed out one more, 27. Unfortunately for the team, he also turned the ball over 27 times for a terrible 1.0 ratio. It could have been much worse if his teammates didn't hustle to retain possession on numerous Bryant passes that were tipped away by the Celtics into random spaces each game. Offensively, there is no question that Gasol was far more important to the overall success and effectiveness of the Lakers' attack.

Michael Jordan.
02-08-2014, 01:12 AM
Considering the winner of all seven games was also the team that lead each contest in rebounds, this part of their games cannot be overlooked. Gasol was the top rebounder by quite a substantial margin for the series, snagging 11.6 boards per, including an incredible 5.0 offensive each night. With the rest of the Lakers shooting such a low percentage from the field, Gasol's offensive rebounds and the subsequent second-chance points alone were regularly the difference between winning and losing. He surpassed his rebound average in four of the seven games, so there were no single-game totals that pushed his average so high.

Michael Jordan.
02-08-2014, 01:12 AM
Bryant chipped in with an impressive 8.0 rebounds per, including 1.7 offensive, but it should be pointed out he met or exceeded that average only twice. A few outliers skewed his average above a true indication of what he contributed in this category. Not only that, most of Gasol's boards were grabbed in the middle of hard-fought scrums in the paint, whereas Bryant's were usually of the long-bounce-right-to-him variety.

Michael Jordan.
02-08-2014, 01:13 AM
Defensively, Gasol's man-to-man defense is alright, but his ability to energetically block and redirect shots was unparalleled, blocking 18 for the series (2.6 per) and persuading multiple potential shots to not be taken. A big man's defensive presence is always more valuable than a wing's because they have to help clean up the mess opposing guards make when they drive into the paint. That being said, Bryant's defense wasn't responsible for much in the series. He guarded Rajon Rondo, who can't shoot, by hanging out in the lane; Bryant rarely had to hustle or be responsible for containing any tough plays. Rondo still ended up averaging 14 points and 8 assists for the series. Bryant did get credit for 15 steals over the seven games, 8 of which came in two home contests when any deflections caused by his teammates' hustle were given to him if LA's stats keepers determined he gained possession in the end. NBA stats keepers, who work for individual clubs, are allowed a lot of leeway in determining who to give credit for steals, which is why it's one of the most home-oriented statistics for star players.

What's more amazing, and a testament to Gasol's value, is that they haven't missed a beat without Andrew Bynum in the lineup. The Lakers are technically better with Pau at center and sans Bynum, sporting a 35-8 (.814) record, including the Memphis game when Bynum went down in the opening minutes.

That's a 67-win pace.

I'm no math major, but it appears as if Gasol adds about 20 wins or so. Of course, this is fuzzy math, given the return of Derek Fisher and the improvement of young talents like Jordan Farmar and Trevor Ariza, but clearly Gasol elevates the Lakers from a borderline-playoff team to a championship-level team. - See more at: http://lakersblog.latimes.com/lakersblog/2009/03/the-value-of-pa.html#sthash.XyZBLYFB.dpuf

Then Bynum injured his knee, and before the Big Spaniard came to the rescue, the Lakers limped along at a pedestrian 5-5. Granted, that's a small sample size, but clearly the Lakers are not a 56-win team without Bynum and Gasol. Between their 2007 record – 42-40 – and the 6-5 record last year without Bynum (he missed an early season victory over Minnesota with gastroenteritis), history shows that they are roughly a .500 team without Pau Gasol and their current roster. Perhaps they are slightly better than .500 - let's say somewhere in the 45-win range. -

He probably won't receive many MVP votes at the end of the year, but perhaps he should. In a league historically based on stepping stones – a team reaches the second round, then the Conference Finals, then competes for a title – Gasol arrived and helped LA jump from first round to final round. This year, he's been the Western Conference Player of the Month, leads the league in offense rating (a product of his increased offensive efficiency) and has helped power (or should I say finesse?) the Lakers to .800-ball despite the loss of Andrew Bynum. The team has yet to lose more than two games in a row since Gasol's arrival. - See more at:

Michael Wilborn of ESPN said that Kobe Bryant can have bad shooting games and still win, while Lebron James can't have the bad shooting night and still win, implying that Kobe is still being spoonfed with the 2 Very Good Post Up Offensive Players in Andrew Bynum, when he's not hurt and of course, Pau Gasol....so since Kobe Bryant is receiving a luxurious team again, he's leadership role has been compromised and being a scavenger of the team and taking the goods Pau and Drew in terms of their honorable awards that does not belong to Kobe.

But… looking at the two players and their usage rates (basketball-reference.com), Bryant is the only Laker this year who uses significantly more than his share of the Lakers’ possessions. Gasol’s usage rate is around 20% – average. Yet, Gasol has been the Lakers’ most efficient player all season, and it’s possible to argue that, statistically, he’s been their most valuable player as well.

Michael Jordan.
02-08-2014, 10:34 AM
Think about it…Pau Gasol is averaging 18.6 points and 10.6 rebounds per game in the playoffs, and is shooting a scintillating 58.1% from the field. One of the best gauges of overall offensive efficiency is points per shot (PPS), which is simply the total points scored divided by the number of field goal attempts. Gasol’s PPS is 1.54, which is outstanding.
Then you have Kobe. Sure, he’s averaging 30.1 points, but he has to shoot almost 23 shots per game to get those points. (He’s also averaging 5.4 assists and 5.1 rebounds.) His PPS is 1.33, which is still good, but is almost 14% less than Gasol’s.

Michael Jordan.
02-08-2014, 10:35 AM
Against the Magic, Gasol has made 23 of his 37 field goal attempts (62%). Against the Nuggets, he shot 63% from the field. The Spaniard is on such a roll right now that the Lakers should be feeding him the ball until the Magic find a way to stop him. Anytime Andrew Bynum is in the game, Rashard Lewis has to cover Gasol, and he’s no match for Pau in the post. Heck, even when Bynum goes to the bench, Gasol is scoring at will on Dwight Howard, the 2009 Defensive Player of the Year. Gasol was 9 of 11 from the field in Game 3, yet it was Kobe who took the most shots (11 of 25, 44%), even when he was clearly struggling down the stretch.

This is not to distort the legacy of Kobe Bryant, Kobe is doing a good job of doing that himself. For Kobe to average 27.0 Field Goal Attempts Per Game to average 32 Points Per Game, by shooting at 42.9%[43%] from the field and capture the MVP trophy in comparisons to Pau Gasol averages 18.6 Points Per game shooting at 61.4% from the Field and averages 12.0 Field Goal Attempts Per Game against the Orlando Magic in the 2009 NBA Finals. Not to mention he also grabbed 9.2 Rebounds Per Game, and 1.8 Blocks Per Game.

In fact, where the team has actually improved its production is on the other end of the floor. Since Kobe’s departure the team has held their their opponents to a staunch 84 points a game!! Now, astute Laker fans will tell you that despite his position on the all-defense team Kobe has been less than perfect on that end of the court over the last few seasons, often favoring leaving his defensive assignment to double team the ball, which will create turnovers but also leads to cuts and back screens or open jumpers. He also tends to avoid extending his defense past 18 feet, so often opposing guards can find themselves with open three pointers.

Watching all three of those games, it seemed obvious to me that the improvements in defense flowed largely from Gasol and to a lesser degree, Odom. Pau had 19 rebounds and 5 blocks against both the Spurs and Jazz, and unless you think Kobe would have been defending the post, screening Gasol off the ball and preventing him from swatting at the ball and attempting to grab rebounds, his impact on Gasol’s numbers on that end is minimal.

In 2008-2010 with Pau Gasol, Kobe’s efficiency in the Finals also declined. Although he averaged one point higher in the Finals compared to the regular season, he scored by heaving away at the bucket profligately, as his field goal percentage dropped from 46% in the regular season to 41.3% in the Finals. Kobe’s poor shooting earned him a couple records: only NBA Finals MVP not to have a single game shooting above 50% (he accomplished this in both 2009 and 2010), and the worst shooting percentage by any NBA Finals MVP in history (40%); also, most missed shots in a playoff series as well as most missed shots in a Finals series. Many argue that Kobe is the greatest of all time, but that is complete amplification. Kobe is the greatest sidekick of all time.

Gasol’s impact in that series was what ultimately culminated in the Lakers’ popping champagne bottles in the locker room following game 7. Kobe is seemingly the palpable MVP selection because– well, his name is “Kobe Bryant”, and he averaged 28.6 points per game (let’s give a round of applause), but his performance was subtly disappointing. He garnered nearly 28 points per game by chucking a myriad of shot attempts. Again, his field goal percentage was a rotten 40%, but thanks to his willpower and relentless desire to win, Bryant relentlessly continued to fire away. He’s lucky Pau Gasol was able to measure the projection of his bricks and grab a series-high of five offensive rebounds per game. No one else came close to equaling Gasol’s offensive rebounds per game

Additionally, Kobe was reckless with the ball, and had an inability to incorporate his teammates in plays effectively. Gasol was dropping dimes all over the court, dishing the ball to his teammates out of the high-post, low-post, to double-teams, and to the perimeter. It seems Kobe was exercising his sportsmanship by giving everyone a chance with the basketball, including the Boston Celtics; he recorded a series-high of 27 turnovers. The Spaniard accumulated 26 assists and turned the ball over 13 times, which was good enough for a respectable 2.0 assist ratio, and mortified Bryant’s 27 assists and 27 turnovers (1.0) assist ratio. Seriously, it’s embarrassing when a primary ball-handler’s big man is a more efficacious facilitator

In a series that was quite ugly, both the Lakers’ and the Celtic’s offenses struggled to score; defense and rebounding were the deciding factors. Led by Pau Gasol, the Lakers won the rebounding battle by a landslide in each of the four games they conquered. He was the leading rebounder of both teams (11.6 per game) by out-hustling the opponent and pulling down hard fought rebounds amidst traffic

Kobe was up to his usual specious heroics, only making eleven of his 36 shot attempts in the game’s final periods (31%). The unsung hero from Spain executed most effectively in these situations with a team-high 48% from the field, hitting 43 of 90 attempts. Yes, Gasol was even more “clutch” than Kobe in the Finals, and certainly deserved the Finals MVP award in 2010. NBA greats such as Julius Irving Magic, Johnson, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Shaquille O’neal, Tim Duncan, Dwyane Wade (in his prime), Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Durant etc. have all advanced in their level of play during the Finals, while Bryant’s level has decayed. Contrary to the common belief that Kobe rises to the occasion and steps up even under the most grueling circumstances, he has struggled in the biggest moments, including his forgettable 6-24 performance in the classic game seven showdown between the Lakers and the Celtics (just 1-4 in the fourth quarter

Gasol’s impact in that series was what ultimately culminated in the Lakers’ popping champagne bottles in the locker room following game 7. Kobe is seemingly the palpable MVP selection because– well, his name is “Kobe Bryant”, and he averaged 28.6 points per game (let’s give a round of applause), but his performance was subtly disappointing. He garnered nearly 28 points per game by chucking a myriad of shot attempts. Again, his field goal percentage was a rotten 40%, but thanks to his willpower and relentless desire to win, Bryant relentlessly continued to fire away. He’s lucky Pau Gasol was able to measure the projection of his bricks and grab a series-high of five offensive rebounds per game. No one else came close to equaling Gasol’s offensive rebounds per game

Though Gasol can't win a single playoff game without Kobe holding his hand.
