When G...Warsaw, I think that's a great point. <br /><br />When Gasol was the best player on his team, he certainly didn't have a supporting cast that was title worthy. <br /><br />However, my point was that Gasol wasn't able to lead his team to a playoff victory in 12 chances. If he was the "second best center in the league", shouldn't he have been able to win one game with the team he had? Are there other big men that could have one a playoff game with those teams?<br /><br />Dwight Howard, the best center in the league, took his team to the finals.<br /><br />James Posey is no Hedo Turkgolu, but Posey and Williams were significant players on teams that won the championship, and they were probably better players in their Memphis days. <br /><br />Wells, Battier, Posey, and Williams have also made significant runs in the playoffs independent of the two championships. <br /><br />These aren't scrubs, and they didn't win ONE GAME with Gasol at the helm. If we're going to knock Kobe for his team success, we should also measure other players in the same way.David Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12836285894552837634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970612912558903293.post-12027026789759747972009-06-21T03:46:31.983-07:002009-06-21T03:46:31.983-07:00"despite a supporting cast that featured play..."despite a supporting cast that featured players that have had success in the playoffs independent of Gasol (Battier, Wells, White Chocolate, James Posey)"<br /><br />They had success being like the 4º or 5º best option on those teams?.warsawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970612912558903293.post-78633353697405054182009-06-19T13:42:43.816-07:002009-06-19T13:42:43.816-07:004.

To his credit he also mentions that nobody has a clue what Memphis is going to do. but Tyreke at the 2? Oh and nice artcle, but it could have used a movie reference, something like "Bill, you hate on Memphis so much its like your Bill Murray in Groundhog Day".

They sound the same but mean different things.<br /><br />Also, you failed to mention that we received a former number WON overall draft pick in exchange for Gasol, and that we turned Javaris Crittendon into money. <br /><br />Best Regards, <br />CurtCurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652857145305626105noreply@blogger.com
