It is a sign of disrespect. Whether you want to call it childish or whatnot. Respect comes in a variety of ways as does disrespect. As far as the Lakers and Clippers, the Clippers are on the rise no doubt and the Lakers are an established proven champion. However the Lakers days are slowly fading unless another Magic or Kobe arise and the Lakers buy their way into another dynasty of rings.

The same goes for the Celtics, buying their way. Thats why teams in our times are building with money not with chemistry. The Thunder is how it should be done!

No, he’s listed at 6’0 but thats a generous measurement. A few years ago I got his autograph before a game and he was probably about half an inch shorter than me, and at that time I was 6 foot even.

After watching the video it’s clear CP has some sort of complex, just a complete over reaction……

I believe what Gasol did to Paul is actually called “milking”. At least that’s what the kids at Lindenwold Middle School call it.

Isn’t Paul 6’3 or something? Hardly short.

How would he have reacted if the original trade had stood and he was Pau’s teammate…and Pau had rubbed his head in a game? LMAO

The Clippers have some big guys who can run. Why do we have to endure CP3 dribbling which slows down the Clippers? I liked them better with Gordon. I have yet to see a timeout when CP3 isn’t talking as much as the coaches.

Short man mentality?

It was funny watching CP3 retaliate by rubbing Pau’s head in return.Childish. And calling Pau soft was him asking for something in return.He got it, albeit in a manner that is rare for Pau.

One of these days someone is going to flagrant chris paul and his teammates aren’t going to care.

Move the sorry ass clippers back t the sports arena they will never ever be able to walk the LAKERS shoes. See those banners in the rafters, slippers still have a long way to go before they are worthy to even hang one at the staples!

two friends of mine got into a heated couple hr. exchange about that, almost a fight.He told the ither friend he don’t like no one rubbing him/touching him on the top of his head.The other friend/culprit wanted to know why and he replied i don’t need to give you a reason why just don’t do that anymore.This dispute went on for atleast a hour or so.

So you wouldn’t mind someone patting you on the head like a puppy? hmm

Sounds like Chris Paul has a complex. And if I were Gasol, I would ask him if I looked soft when I was averaging 25/12 and dominating the paint when I won my two rings. How many you got Chris? Punk move man, you’re better than that.

I love it. It shows that these guys do care as much as fans do sometimes. It’s refreshing. Also, CP3 and Blake Griffin are floppers of epic proportion. The only person worse (which I hate to admit) is D Fish haha.

Chris Paul sounds like a little baby. Stfu

Listen, yes Chris is being a little sensitive about it but I wouldn’t like someone patting me on the head. I’m sure Gasol didn’t do it to disrespect, but it is desrespectful.

Another thing that could be at play here is that maybe CP3 and Gasol aren’t cool like that.

Do you know anything about the history of the NBA? Did you see any of the games from the 80′s? No you could not have.They are playing for money fool. Guys fight on the court since childhood over the game and the want to win. Now they are playing for contracts and it is their last stop before retiring after playing a game they love all their lives and to you it is about sportsmanship? Did you ever watch the Bad Boy Pistons, obviously not. Go find a video of Rick Mahorn busting Isaiah Thomas head open for driving down the lane. Isaiah got 35 stitches and you are talking crap about sportsmanship over some trash talking and a head touch.

You would think being a millionaire for playing a game you enjoyed since you were a kid there would be a little be more sportsmanship in nba

“Hallway Series”. Nice one. I was thinking the same thing though, a real playoff series between the two would be hot and it could very well go 7 games

“but as the teams are built right now the Clippers will be the better team within a year. If they are not already.”

I don’t have bias towards any team so let me say sample size. We are only 15 games into a 66 game season. That is about the quarter point but the Clippers have had a pretty easy going to start if you look at the schedule. 10 home games vs 5 away games plus in January they had 6 instances of two consecutive days off. Fast forward to February and they have 3 back to backs and and no more than 1 day off until the 22nd. March is even worse.
