reno Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Perhaps more than anything, the notion that Pau Gasol can be this team's next great leader was swept away. His sudden and odd postseason disappearance was the most obvious reason for the Lakers' troubles, his fall completed Sunday when he scored 10 points while being pushed around by everyone but his coach, who thankfully refrained from hitting him for a second consecutive game. "I have to learn from this," Gasol said. ''I have to learn that when something happens off the court, you have to keep it off the court." He was referring to the report that he stopped talking to Bryant during the postseason because Bryant's wife, Vanessa, had contributed to the breakup of Gasol and his longtime girlfriend. Lakers fans will remember that Karl Malone once publicly accused Vanessa of interfering with his personal life in a similar fashion. Whatever was happening, Bryant and Gasol haven't connected on the court in a month, and the Lakers have been lost without the strength of their fusion. http://www.latimes.com/sports/columnists/la-sp-plaschke-lakers-20110509,0,342841,full.column Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted May 9, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Whatever was happening, Bryant and Gasol haven't connected on the court in a monthQuickly put to rest by John Ireland this morning, on the Mike and Mike show. He is at every game, sidelines, and he said that there was never a time where those two stopped talking to each other, and he never sensed any tension between the two. This is just a rumor that Plaschke decided to run with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I doubt Pau and Vanessa were anything, but I would be willing to bet the house that she ratted him out to his girl about something . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many ladies find him attractive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be Like Mike Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Even if this is true which I highly doubt, Pau is even a bigger kitty cat if he lets this affect his performance on the court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Wait, didn't Kobe rat out Shaq about his side pieces when he got arrested? If so, I wouldn't be surprised if he did the same thing here lol. His wife has him on a super leash after that arrest I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regime Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Yeh Vanessa also interfered with Malone's personal life back in 03-04, so I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she was back at it again. Pau is going to get run out of LA for sure if this incident was true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Lol, so now the rumor is that Kobe told Vanessa about Pau's side piece. If that's true, shame on Bean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted May 10, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Gasol just stated that none of the rumors were true, and he keeps referring to her as his girlfriend, so I'm a believer. If there was a real problem, he wouldn't want to talk about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 The girlfriend was sitting next to Pau's mom in one of the Dallas games so this rumor is most likely false. John Ireland also sat behind the Lakers bench to observe interaction between Kobe/Pau and he said that everything was normal between the two.
