    As everybody knows, most Laker fans don't actually respect Pau Gasol, constantly insulting him, and holding him to a different standard than any other player in their franchise's history..as mystar mentioned in the game thread, a Lakers TV poll actually asked about "the most important pieces" of the Lakers potential success, and Gasol wasn't even on the poll..

    What do you guys think is the primary reason for this?..

    - He threatens Kobe's legacy and current status..

    or

    - The way in which he was acquired..as everybody knows, it was a questionable deal, and clearly it turned the Lakers franchise around..

    Or a different reason?..

    Laker fan so quick to turn on Pau, but let Kobe's chucking cuckold ways go all over their faces.

    Everyone on that team deserves some blame for the 3-game skid. From Phil down to The Gatorade boy...next up: a gritty Houston team...ack.

    How does the way Laker fans think of Pau affect you in any way?

    I'm just saying..

    I kind of understand why Kobe has a pass, he's one of the best players in franchise history and has 5 rings..even if the double standard is unfair, it's kind of understandable..

    However, when Pau does anything wrong, it's heavily criticized, more than any player I've ever seen..

    When Andrew Bynum does ANYTHING good, he starts getting compared to prime Kareem and Olajuwon..

    Last 3? 4 of the last 5 ... Real Wescoast G's dont tolerate when dudes play soft Pau played well the last 5 mins. But where was he when Memphis built that lead? Kobe is missing more than he is hitting but at LEAST He COMPETES for 38 mins every night

    Let me ask you this ...WHy do you guys even care? why do Spurs fans hate on Parker?

    Gasol doesn't get much respect because Laker fans are tired of seeing Kobe being the sidekick. Whatever Kobe does, he should always be regarded as this generation's Scottie Pippen.

    Pau is a great very skilled player one of the best skilled guys in the NBA but he is soft by nature when he gets physical that is him "out of character"

    The thing I don't get is...they don't respect him when the talks turn to Kobe's legacy...

    BUT...

    when it comes to talk about why the Lakers are the best team in the league*..."We have Kobe and Pau, both the best at their position" etc..


    so which is it?

    That is NOT trueI never set the bar that high for andrew ...and I appreciate what Pau does. I also dont appreciate what he doesnt which is provide a conistent physical presence ...just like Kobe's shot selection is poor at times no player is perfect not even MJ. Every Laker game I have called out Kobe when he takes a forceed shot or a heat check one ...

    Kobe's legacy is not at stake with Pau ...Kobe won with shaq and Pau and Pau becoming a better player only helps Kobe get more rings ...

    Only you silly haters with that sidekick nonsense care ... Kobe wont catch MJ's legacy but he will pass duncan's and it kills you and is why yall post this juvenile basketball takes in every Laker thread ...

    and yes I am pissed that the Lakers are bullshoitting so I aplogize if I am wording this like a prick but yall do post some slly in here ...

    Well, Idk if you're trolling or not but he really has become a great player. He's just so much better now compared to his Memphis days. Very underrated player. He's never really going to get the credit he deserves because he's not a flashy player, but he gets the job done.

    Maybe I used the wrong word..not quite legacy...but his standing in the league as a player today...his teammates are put down when talking about his individual status, but then later are built back up when Laker fans start arguing why their team is the favorite, etc...

    obviously, you cannot have it both ways...

    - He threatens Kobe's legacy and current status..

    or

    - The way in which he was acquired..as everybody knows, it was a questionable deal, and clearly it turned the Lakers franchise around..
