    People are quick to forget what a stud Pau Gasol was. He came up big against non-other than the Boston Celtics in the Final game of the 2010 NBA Finals. He tallied a total of 19 points, 18 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 blocks.

      i mean the defense was tight but its not good basketball. its just bad shot after bad shot. and its not like the celtics were putting in insane effort, cuz in the first half alone the lakers had 15 offensive rebounds, and 23 for the game. the celtics got 8 offensive rebounds for the game. you cant 1 third of the opponent's offensive rebounds and say that the celtics were playing with crazy intensity. none of the teams moved the ball that much. it was very iso heavy, not a lot of ball movement and then shoot a shot contested by 2 or 3 people

Aand if you didnt know Rasheed was known for that. And he half tried, didnt work, cause Gasol a vet two, then he gets himself back in position cause he a vet too. High level shit right there.

      It's the team that won the championship. One super star cannot do everything. You need a second elite player in Gasol and a glue like Lamar Odom and Bynum for the boards and size. The bench is for depth and the intangibles. Ron Artest was a great pick-up after Ariza left and the defensive intangibles and shutdown defense remained with the team. This is why I love the 2009 and 2010 Lakers teams. Depth with homegrown talent and key free agent signings and trades did the job.

    Watching this again this morning hit different, seeing the way Pau totally gave up his body in this game. Especially after he came off so soft in '08. He got his ass kicked battling in the paint with Wallace and KG. But he stood tall and came through in one of the most physically brutal games I have ever watched in an NBA Final that didn't involve Detroit.
    But this morning, seeing the link between these guys on this team, I regret we couldn't keep that core together. Kobe, Pau, Odom and Fisher. Now, seeing that this week, Pau and his wife named their new daughter Elisabet Gianna, the obvious brotherhood he shared with Kobe, it just makes me so emotional.

      It looks like Boston's plan was to force the ball out of Kobe's hands and go at white swan Gasol. Little did they know Kobe transformed Pau into the Black Swan.

      Kobe averaged 28.6 PPG 8.0 RPG 4 APG and 2 steals w/ 1 block compared to Gasol 18.6 PPG 12 RPG 4 APG and 3 blocks .. Kobe def deserved the MVP.

      @@1solodeon stats ain't everything gasol showed up in huge moments where kobe couldn't hit shit. Kobe carried them in like 3 games with Paul playing well but 3 out of those 7 pau close. Those rebounds were ones that you only understand if you saw it. It was like when Chris bosh caught that one after lebron missed the 3, it won't show up but tgat saved the gane
