lol showbiz dramaEver since the Lakers were shockingly swept out of the playoffs by the Dallas Mavericks, people have been wondering what exactly happened to rattle this team so badly. It’s not often that you see a defending champion go out in such stunning fashion, and many believe that there had to be something going on in the locker room that was causing the Laker players to lose focus on their goal.
Laker center Andrew Bynum pretty much told us what we knew all along when he said the Lakers had “trust issues” after a Game 2 home loss saw Los Angeles heading to Dallas down 0-2.
The main target of the speculation was Lakers All-Star Pau Gasol, one of the premier bigs in the NBA who never did show up during these playoffs. Gasol’s numbers dipped dramatically amid speculation that he had a confrontation with an unnamed teammate who’s wife had broken up Gasol’s engagement to Silvia Lopez Castro.
Of course, any time you hear “Lakers” and “internal strife” the first person that comes to mind is Kobe Bryant. While he may be an assassin on the court, Kobe isn’t necessarily the most street smart player in the league, and has been known to break a “Man Law” on occasion. So naturally, many have assumed that Kobe told his wife Pau had a girl on the side and Vanessa Bryant caused the rift by telling Ms. Castro, thus leading to her breaking off their engagement and Pau playing softer than cotton candy.
If you are one who believes that story then congratulations you are wrong! Well, sort of. After speaking to sources very close to multiple NBA locker rooms and specifically the Lakers locker room, here is the worldwide exclusive of what really happened, remember where you heard it first!
The Gasol-Castro relationship is definitely on the rocks as their engagement has been put off for now, and it definitely played into the surprising decline in numbers and confidence that we saw from Pau throughout the playoffs.
However, surprisingly it isn’t Kobe and Vanessa who are behind the rift, although they do have a part in it. In fact it is a bench player for the Lakers who may have cost the team a chance at a three-peat.
The word I’m getting is that Shannon Brown, yes the same Shannon Brown who is married R&B singer Monica, slept with Castro during the season, and the affair was discovered by Gasol towards the end of the regular season.
The confrontation we’ve been hearing about did indeed take place, but it was between Gasol and Brown, who nearly came to blows in the locker room and caused a rift that the Lakers were never able to recover from.
The word is that Mrs. Bryant and Ms. Castro engaged in a bit of a cat fight, that ultimately lead to Castro saying that Vanessa sleeps around, and Mrs. Bryant basically announcing to anyone who would listen that Castro is really the one sleeping around, specifically with Brown.
That’s right Laker fans, the reason your team is home right now instead of heading towards a Finals series with Lebron and Co. could very well be Shannon Brown.
While many may believe this to be nothing more than gossip, remember where you heard it first when Brown is traded or let go during the off-season.
Now I wonder what Vanessa and Silvia were fighting about.

Dammit if the Lakers aren't the Cowboys of the NBA with all the drama (if true), LOL.
Foul stuff afoot, but regardless Dallas still curbstomped them and with the way they were shooting nothing was going to get in the way of that beatdown.

I believe so.
Btw, Shannon Brown is a real piece of . You just don't do that to a teammate. You live in LA, a place with thousands of women that you can bang, but instead you choose to bang your teammate's woman? Smh.

Fiance. But yeah, get some self control.
Tony parker, now that was a wife, but at least he was just a former player...
That explains why Brown is still undecided on his player option.![]()
that frog looking igga is going to take the option. The way he played he won't get that much from another team, especially with lockout and new CBA looming
I stand corrected.
Brown better sure these guys for libel
LOL @ Pau
Your fiance slept with Shannon Brown, you dump her and never look back
I won't believe this yet until other sources start saying its true. Too many rumors are coming out and I'm pretty sure next week it could be something different such as Bynum slept with Pau's girlfriend.
I was wondering why Brown disappeared in the rotation down the stretch of the season
LOL Shannon Brown, little bugeyed er. And Pau should man up, and never weep for a , especially one that sleeps around
Though it would be interesting to see who would win in a fight between Gasol and Brown
If my gf/fiance slept with a black guy he better atleast start on an NBA team
