To be fair, Gasol should put up better numbers. It cracks me up that Dwight is supposedly soft, but Gasol is not. Dude can do it all, but he definitely lacks aggressiveness at times.

Come on bro you've seen the GM poll it comes out every year. GMS favour D12. The writers favoured Gasol this season although I imagine that's because D12 missed half of the sesason.

You are basing this on a survey before this most recent season, which followed a season that Gasol nearly missed half of.

Which is your exact excuse to why Gasol was first team all-NBA and will likely be your excuse when this year's anonymous GM survey says Gasol is the best center.

Eta: you already beat me to it

Holy shite your act is so predictable.

Gasol would rather make the right play and set up his guys to score than take a bad contested shot...and to be fair to him he was more aggressive this season looking for his shot.

Jerry West was a big influence on him as prep player. Told him the secret to basketball was the pass.

The best big men are good to great passers.

I really hope he stays with the Grizz. I can't wait for all the crazy on the floor next year with Tony Allen, Matt Barnes and ZBO.


Matt Barnes is going to be out of control now that he has ZBO to back up his shite talking.

Soft =/= a lack of aggression

He has always been someone that doesn't want to be the guy taking all the shots. Been that way since high school.

I assume you're not linking it because it's preseason shite.

So now your comeback is that ZBo is a bad rebounder

The same ZBo that had a nearly 20 game streak of double doubles and a 13 offensive rebound game?

It was. It was taken before this most recent season. You know when Gasol had a career year and won first team All-NBA. It was also after Gasol missed a ton of time with his knee injury.

Agreed. But you can pass, score, and rebound. Hakeem did it. Webber did it. Prime Webber was so awesome.

You act like Dwight did not just miss half of this season.

im not saying he is a bad rebounder. Im saying if Gasol was that elite, he'd be the one outrebounding Randolph.

28th in the NBA in rebounding as a Center(with a 7.9 career average) and y'all want to call him a superstar
