Is Pau Gasol a Top 10 All Time Powerforward?

[superduper]

We wouldn’t, ‘Cause with Chris Bosh there was no way Kobe would have gotten dat 2 FMVP rings. Even when he ain’t scoring, Gasol was an excellent passer and his existence altered the game. There was a reason why Gasol had the highest win-share in 2010.

So why is Gasol 0-16 in the first round of the playoffs as the first option without Kobe? 4 of those Ls being with Dwight Howard and Steve Nash as his 2nd/3rd options?

Kobe with Bosh would be at least 2 if not 3.

So why was prime Kobe never past the 1st round of playoffs without Gasol? Also there is a thing called team chemistry, and Gasol was by far the best fit with Kobe, its a match made in heaven. Replace Gasol by Bosh will definitely not have the same effect, and guaranteed to make the team worse off.

Gasol was losing against a big 3 Spurs who also had one of the GOAT role players and clutch shooters Horry, against the Suns with MVP Steve Nash, Amare, young Joe Johnson, Marion, against one of the GOAT PFs Nowitzki. And Gasols best teammates were Battier, James Posey, Jason Williams, Mike Miller. Kobe could not get out of the 1st round with a teammate who averaged 19-12-4 with pretty good defense and was a walking miss match.

Pau lost 12 straight games 0 - 12, he also got swept in 2013 with Dwight Howard and Steve Nash.

Jason Williams is better than any PG Kobe played with from 00-12, Mike Miller was one of the best shooters in his time and won rings with Lebron, Shane Battier is one of the better perimeter defenders of his era and also won 2 rings with the Heat. You can't win ONE GAME out of 12 with those guys?

This is why no one takes you seriously. Sure Nashty is a useless troll, but just call him a retard and move on.

So name me a better PG than Jason Williams that Kobe played with from 00-12?

Gee, I dunno, maybe GARY PAYTON.


And let’s not act like Fisher wasn’t anywhere close in terms of value. Jason Williams....wasn’t good. Sure he was better than Fisher in vacuum but with Kobe he’d be a worse fit.

And let’s not act like Fisher wasn’t arguably more valuable. Jason Williams....wasn’t good.

Jason Williams was so bad he started over Gary Payton on the 2006 Heat

Gary Payton was a failure for us in the Playoffs, he struggled in the triangle. We would have probably been better with Jason Williams that year.

06 Payton=/=04 Payton.

He was coming off of an all star season in 2003. Kobe didn’t do well playing next to other high usage ballhandlers, look at how Nash started playing off ball a lot with Kobe.

06 Payton=/=04 Payton.

But how does that happen if Williams is.....not that good?

Steve Nash got injured his 2nd game with Kobe so that's unfair to say tbh.

Good enough to be better in his prime than the corpse of Gary Payton. MVP. MVP.
