    you mean since KG was playing like garbage?(and no it wasn't Gasol's superior offense or defense)

    who cares either way? all the Yao haters led by leebigez will say "Yao sucks" and all the YOFs will say, "Yao is the best despite his injuries {insert excuse for his injuries}"

    Unless we're trading Yao for Gasol who gives a crap?

    JVG said on the air that Gasol is the best big man in the NBA.

    No, you are mistaken. Yao Ming is injured. How can even do something liek that? Also if Yao can do that he would just be equal to Gasol. So right now he actually inferior to Gasol.

    That made about as much sense as a tinman analogy.

    This topic has always existed. Does anyone know were i can find the head-to-head stats of Yao and Gasol. IIRC Yao has always had problems playing against Gasol (I just want to check it).

    Van Gundy has coached Yao and he believes Gasol is better. Enough said

    You are based on a false premise,Yao doesn't have a good health condition, i think the biggest advantage of him is the commercial value in China sport market.

    Right now I'd give Gasol the edge since he's more durable and more versatile.

    But I think he's become a bit overrated with all the success he's enjoyed after teaming up with Kobe.

    Gasol never won one single playoff game as the top dog in Memphis.

    To be fair until Yao can prove otherwise Gasol is the best big man not injured.
    :grin: still is an ostrich

    No kidding.

    Yeah...Yao could do that for 5 minutes before he needs another surgery.

    one is never healthy so i'll just assume you're conceding that pau is a better player.

    Yet another insult while you blatantly avoid providing any evidence of your own. How hard is it man? You claimed to have lots of videos, so where are they? I think I've asked you to show something three times already. It can't be this hard. You either have something or you don't.

    How old are you man? If you're an adult then it's pretty sad because you're all talk and ineffective bluster. This is the kind of crap I expect from 14 year olds.
