Was Pau Gasol even a top 15 player in 2009 and 2010?

[Houston911]

He made the 2nd and 3rd All NBA team those years. Only 15 people get selected to that. So yes he was Top 15.

He was 3rd team those 2 years

Demar derozan made a second team, only 10 people get selected

 

[Lakerman0834]

Next to Scottie, I think Pau was one of the best #2's ever.

He filled in all of the gaps Kobe had and fit perfectly into the triangle.

In a vacuum, he was perfect for the Lakers and that's all that really matters.

Best fit as #2 not best #2 because bosh/wade/pierce/Westbrook/curry were all better #2 options

You're right. He got 2nd team the 2010-2011 season.

Yup. All those guys can function and thrive as #1's. They are better players than Pau.

But there's no one else I would've had on those Lakers teams.

 

[Dwight Howard]

He was a skilled 7 footer that could do anything on the floor. He was def a top 15 player. You nikkas dont watch games and only go by numbers. Lakers werent title contenders before they got Pau.

Lakers were 28-18 and I believe #2 out west before the pau trade...with a starting lineup of..

Derek Fisher
Kobe Bryant
Luke Walton
Lamar Odom
Kwame brown


Af this same time the Grizzlies were one of the worst teams in the league

 

[shopthatwrecks]

1. Kobe
2. Bron
3. Wade
4. Melo
5. KD
6. Dwight
7. TD
8. Dirk
9. Paul Pierce
10. KG
11. Derrick Rose
12. Cp3
13. DWill
14. Amare
15. Chris Bosh

(players are in no particular order)

Which of these players was Pau better than in 09 and 10?

i swap amare with pau anyday

Another delusional thread from kobe stans to prop him up.
Call a player that made 2nd team all nba in 2011 nba season not a top 15 player breh

stan a guy who missed the most fg in nba history breh

 

[DaSk8D00D]

Kobe Stan’s shytting on Pau when the man himself said he was his favorite teammate:kobesmug:

I ain’t arguing the top 15 shyt but y’all foul for really tryna roast dude like he was trash

 

[Gravity]

???? Obviously you don't like Kobe... But now we just blatantly lie?

I like kobe as a player just fine. I don't like his legion of cocksuckers like you. I haven't lied about anything.

 

[fantabolous]

"Dude is arguably the worst finals MVP in NBA history. There's only been 2 times that the nba finals MVP shot below 50% with kobe doing it both times.

I like kobe as a player just fine. I don't like his legion of cocksuckers like you. I haven't lied about anything.

It seems hard to believe that you actually like Kobe as a player. Interestingly enough I become a "cocksucker" for simply trying to point out how ridiculous something you said was. I'm simply a fan of the truth.

The first part about him being the worst MVP is an opinion I (and most reasonable people) disagree with, but you're entitled to feel how you choose to. Since you haven't lied, please explain how the underlined section above is factual though.

 

[Young Fab]

According to Forty Percent stans Pau wasn't even Top 100 but whether he was or not Forty wouldn't have won without him so what's the point?

Wow. A kobe fan who keeps it honest. I've called you out in the past but I must give you props here.

You should've verified the information yourself since you don believe the source that I quoted. I called you a kobe cocksucker because you accused me of lying just because I said something that you don't want to believe.

I don't get anything out of lying on kobe. He's never been one of my favorite players but I've always respected him as a great player, 1 of the best of his era/generation.

One of the worst struggle nicknames ever attempted

 

[Young Fab]

"Bu bu Kobe didn't even have a top 15 teammate". Dude is arguably the worst finals MVP in NBA history. There's only been 2 times that the nba finals MVP shot below 50% with kobe doing it both times. Dude has the worst shooting percentage of all nba finals mvps. That's not including all of his regular season nba-worst records.

It doesn't matter what pau was ranked during that lakers run, kobe had wild help. Dude went 6/24 in a game 7 at home with his team still winning. You dudes analyze the game like little boys.

See Kobe stans love numbers without context. Which is why the ring count is so prominent in their arguments cause it's just a number with no type of story behind it but when you actually go back and watch the games you see often times they won despite da nikka more times than because of him.

Context = A Kobe stan's worst nightmare

 

[Young Fab]

One of the worst struggle nicknames ever attempted

Struggle nicknames? nikkas been callin him Forty Percent fo damn near a decade

nikka was da best player for only 40% of his championships(2/5 for you Kobe slowpokes) and routinely shot 40% en route to gettin those championships.

Furthermore I wouldn't expect a Kobe stan to approve of it.
