I really dislike Jimmy Bulter and his schtick but this is pretty cool. I don't think you will fine one sane poster saying anything bad about this.

I never knew Butler and Gasol are good friends but credit to Butler for doing this, he is a good guy!

I find this so cool. Jimmy is such a real one; you can see the pure surprise and joy Pau has when he sees him for the first time. This is what the nba is really about, the respect players have for their predecessors and vets. Its what makes the current culture of denigrating former players to just "plumbers" that couldn't hold currys jock really disturbing times.

Thats because Jimmy Buckets is the closest thing to Kobe that Pau has left. :'(

So happy to see all the love Pau got, what an emotional night. Kobe is so proud. Much love to the Spaniard.

Speaks volumes about the kind of teammate Pau was. He and Jimmy only played together for two seasons.

Pau has got to be one of the best humans the NBA has ever had. Universally respected by his peers.

He should be commish of the NBA.

I'd almost forgotten about Pau's stint on the Bulls. Going into 2014-2015 I remember picking them to go to the Finals over the Cavs lol.

The Jimmy and Pau era was short in Chicago, but those weren't fun teams to have as an opponent.

Nice attempt.


What attempt? I am being serious, If Kobe is so proud, he would be there supporting Gasol but he is not so he is not so proud :dontknow:

I do not see anything wrong what I said, oh well! Let me you remind you that Kobe is a R-A-P-I-S-T so it is pretty sad you support rapists :noway:

Pau has the demeanor and the game that would seem like a guy that would always fly under the radar and be a bit forgotten after retirement. I know winning with Kobe in La helps a lot, but he’s one of my favorites so I love seeing him get so much love.
