That was amusing to me for a couple of reasons. One, it told me that the fans in Memphis were aware of what was going on with their team and they had passion for the Grizzlies.<BR/>Second, it told me that the fans in Memphis were not able to put themselves in Pau Gasol's shoes. This was the guy who was the mvp of the world championships. (a pretty big honor that clearly doesn't translate in the usa) Pau had an entire country in love with him (España). So, if I was in pau's shoes I would have probably done the same thing. Pau was coming off an incredible high and he wanted more - I guess one could say that Pau is addicted to winning - go figure.<BR/>I am behind Pau all the way - for all those Memphis fans that wanted to call Pau soft last season - try calling Hakim Warrick and Stromile Swift soft - where the heck were they last season. (Yes, Hakim had a career year - but he didn't do it by playing defense - he took what he learned from Carmelo Anthony in the off-season, and Hakim did hit over 50% of his shots.)<BR/>Pau is the franchise, Pau can block shots, Pau can rebound, Pau can shoot 53.8% from the field and Pau can hit 74.8% of his free throws. But wait, don’t forget that Pau can pass.<BR/>For those of you on Pau's back - what more do you want from the guy???<BR/>Let me answer that question for you – a championship, a playoff win (or two).<BR/> Just wait – Pau is just now reaching his prime…Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
