Pau Gasol is nowadays the best big man in the league

[Shih508]

Gasol is hands down the best player on Lakers' rosters

[KenneBell]

Actually Pau does own Dirk almost every time they play

No he doesn't.

[NBASTATMAN]

if gasol get a little better defensivley then yes he would be the best big man in the league

People don't realize how great Pau is on the pick and roll.. You won't get the huge defensive numbers but when he is not in the lineup the Lakers get killed on the pick and roll.. He makes a huge difference... Very good defensively...

[COLOR=Teal]Playing in a stacked team doesn't make him the best. Duncan, Howard and Dirk are all better franchise players.

Probably arguably the best playoff performing Big man. Dirk has had his chokes, same with Dwight and Garnett has only played sub-par in the playoffs. I would say Duncan is the best big man in the league still then Dirk.

OMG. My head hurts. We are talking about the Gasol that never got out of the first round before he went to the Lakers?

Garnett does not play "subpar" in the playoffs. You just werent around to see his prime. At least I hope so.

Where the hell do we get these people from? I am really starting to lose my faith in humanity whenever I see some of these statements.

Outside of Garnett's MVP Season, he really hasn't been the best playoff performer. He was pretty great in the 08' run though up until the Finals. Garnett plays average, but he doesn't really elevate his play like Shaq or Duncan does.

Gasol is just amazing. Dude is so long that he gets a touch on every board and his passing is PG level. Not kidding when I say that. If he's not the best big man, he's top 3.

THIS.

[Dresta]

Lakers' best player.

My Top 5 Big Men (as of right now)

1.Dirk (He is playing the best out of all big men.)
2.Duncan
3a. Gasol
3b. Dwight (He should move up once he gets out of his slump.)
5. Bynum

This is ****ing ridiculous. Pau was good but since he joined the Fakers, he's overrated.

Dirk owns his ass.

Pau is also unbelievably smart for offensive rebounding, always in the right spot with the good timing (length aside). Tonight he had 12 boards, 10 were offensive.

Here are their head-2-head games since Gasol joined the Lakers. Draw your own conclusions:



Dirk owned Gasol by going 0-5 huh?
