Pau's lifetime 3 point shooting is 37%.

Granted it's only on about 500 attempts... but I have more faith in Pau's three than Kuzma's


Actually, believe it or not, while on the Spurs I remember he had the best "3 point shooting percentage for an entire season" of all time (!!) among those with a respectable number of attempts, with nearly 54%. He scored 0,9 threes per game, so he would only have needed 0,1 more per game for his record to become official.


Personally, I can't believe anyone who saw Pau for any extended time doubts his ability to shoot. Pau Gasol has always been, and will always be, able to shoot the ball!

I read that teams will be allowed 16 players this year


Way back when they first announced plans to start the season as early as December, I wondered out loud if they would extend the roster to balance the effect such as a short turnaround would have.

It should be obvious that all the teams would benefit greatly from such an exception during exceptional times.

If he can actually contribute, then fine, sign him, but if he is signing to hang with his bro or retire as a Laker:

Then the Lakers don't need the distraction in pursuit of repeating...

The banner counts but this team hasto do more than that especially since his legacy as a laker isn’t decorated beyond the bubble. It’s been clearly fact checked that 3 of the 4 seasons he’s been our leader have been failures, unless you ask him.

No one thinks that if the league ended today that he is worthy.

Do you think AD will get his number retired?

It’s still crazy to me that some people were questioning whether the Lakers would retire his number or not. The answer was always obvious.

Yeah. We had some heated debates back in the day. The people that said no were just haters.

Jeanie said something about it when Pau officially retired from the NBA back whenever that was a few months ago. So it's not totally out of the air.
