No. What's embarrassing is D'Antoni's inability to utilize him effectively.

Forget the past, Clark has been a MUCH better player than Pau THIS year and it's NOT even close. It'd be one thing if they benched him for a guy who wasn't producing but that's not the case.
The team is demonstrably better with each big having the post to themselves. Either he accepts it or asks for a trade. I am just tired of his bitching. If ****ing Manu can come off the bench for lesser players for the good of the team, it's not too much to ask Pau to do the same. Especially when we're starting a player who is just flat-out better right now!

Maybe he should have said "ship his ass out" to some randoms in a car park about trading one of his best young teammates for an over-the-hill vet instead.
Re: Pau Gasol is revealing himself as a very selfish player
Pau had by far the best +/- tonight at +21 tonight while ALL starters ranged from -3 to -13 (Howard). Pau didn't play at all in the 4th. He has every right to be upset.
