Pau Gasol on sitting out late in game:"I'm a competitor & think I bring a lot to the table. It's something I don't like & don't appreciate."

Pau's been professional through role change & was asked about not playing in 4th. But not finishing games upsets him more than not starting

Pau is a good guy. But to downplay frustration level misses big picture. If Lakers' struggles emerge, accepting roles becomes harder

It should be clear, Gasol was ASKED about not playing in the fourth. He didn't bring it up. That's a VERY important detail. AK

Kobe on his ability to switch from shooting guard to point guard so easily: "I'm like Neo out this m----- f-----"
— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) January 30, 2013

Kobe Bryant on passing: "Most of you guys thought I couldn't do it. That's pretty funny."
— Mark Medina (@MedinaLakersNBA) January 30, 2013

Kobe Bryant predicts Suns fans will give Steve Nash a "standing ovation" tomorrow. Kobe: "For sure. I don't think it's a question."
