Before I begin, I must announce that somebody has been going on the Italian Wikipedia and linking my 2007-2008 blog post about Tim Duncan being the greatest power forward ever. I’m not sure whether to say “thanks” or “what the hell?” Either or, sweet!

Last June I gave LA Lakers power forward Pau Gasol a little too much lovin’. Too much, I say, because I called him the 2009 NBA Finals MVP. Hell, this year I’ll even go as far as calling him the true de facto Finals MVP (but Stern wants to beef up Kobe Bryant’s resume). But the fact remains: I’m givin’ that dude too much verbal lovin’ on here, because 1.) I hate the Lakers, and 2.) Gasol is a pansy. I don’t care how much hits he can take or how aggressive he is, he’s a pansy and he can’t shave worth a damn. That scruff makes me want to get rid of my beard completely, but thankfully, I trim it up and keep it lookin’ good!

Anywho, Pau Gasol….a lot of people are touting him as the best power forward in the league. I can’t really detest that, because hell, he’s pretty damn good. But I think a lot of forwards would be pretty damn good playing the 4 for the Lakers when you have a pretty damn good center — when healthy — in Andrew Bynum, a physical specimen in Ron Artest, the game’s best player at shooting guard (I don’t even need to throw out his name), and a veteran point guard in Derek Fisher who can get you the ball.
