I'll always have love for Pau and what he did as a Laker, but dude jumped the shark somewhere around the 2011 playoffs. Even Phil Jackson was beyond disgusted with him in the playoffs against the Mavs that year.
I know he's been battling injuries but it looks more like he's lost the fire to compete. He rarely shows his array of post moves anymore and opts to shoot contested fadeaways, rarely fights for position, and doesn't even try on defense. It''s one thing if the shot is not falling, but dude can't even do hook shots or drives anymore?
...he has one of if not the best skill sets in the post in the NBA
I think he loves LA but the pressure and the media have weighed on him and he probably hates his job right now. I have a feeling that if he gets traded to a good team he would be rejuvenated and would look more like 2008-2010 Pau more often instead of this version.
weird thing is that dude dominate when he's playing for his country
