I mean you named lesser standards than everything I named. Think we just have different ideas of what it should take to get your jersey retired
Pau's tenure in LA is right in line with Worthy, Chamberlain, Wilks, Goodrich in terms of individual and team success. Only fitting that he hangs right next to Bean. It'll only be the 10th individual to get his jersey retired.

Pau allowed Kobe 2 more rings, made 3 straight finals as the second best player and was all nba caliber 4 of his years there
He deserves it

You got this twisted. Kobe allowed Pau to win 2 more rings, make 3 straight finals as the second best player and was all nba caliber 4 of his years there because of Kobe.

Without Do-It-All Gasol, I guarantee everybody here Kobe ends his career with 3 rings. No if's ands or Seymore but's about it.
Remember, Kobe took the heavily favored #2 seed PHX Suns to 7 games with Kwame, Cook, Odom, and Chris Mihm. Imagine what Kobe would've done to the high powered '06 Suns in thr playoffs with Gasol instead of Kwame and Brian frk'n Cook LOL
Why do you think Kobe was so grateful for having Pau by his side? He himself knew that Gasol was the MAIN PIECE that allowed him to get rings 4 and 5. You think had LA acquired Antonio McDyess, Jermaine O'Neal, or even a David Lee instead of Pau that either of those three mid level bigs would've neutralized KG, Sheed, or Prime Dwight in the Finals? Lol

I'd like to know how a guy who put up 32/6/7 and 29/8/4 in consecutive finals series DIDN'T deserve Finals MVP both years. That's what intrigues me.

KG got his jersey retired by Boston basically for one great season. That's more ludacris than Pau.

Jersey retirement is a very team-specific thing, with subjective criteria. I personally defer totally to the organizations on this subject.

Speaking of retiring Lakers jerseys, if lebron retired today would the Lakers retire his number? If so is it because he’s Lebron or because of what he’s done?
I can’t see it being the latter *shrug*

I hope I can get reincarnated when a team has retired 86 numbers and see how they field a team.

I get it, just don't remember ppl bringing up his lack of accolades with the team to justify why he got his number in the rafters. Was just a juxtaposition with Pau. Celtics really have 23 numbers retired though gaddamn.
