The Lakers-Clippers rivalry is intensifying.
After Clippers forward Blake Griffin fouled Lakers forward Pau Gasol with 1.1 seconds remaining in the Lakers’ 96-91 win, Clippers guard Chris Paul tried to grab the ball from Gasol’s hands as the two began jawing at one another. Gasol and Paul continued to talk while Lakers guard Kobe Bryant got in front of the two as Gasol walked to the free throw line.
Before Gasol stepped to the line, he smiled and put his hand on top of Paul’s head. Paul immediately shoved Gasol’s hand away and tapped Gasol on his head.
“He tried to touch the top of my head. I don’t like that,” Paul said after the game. “I got a son of my own. I don’t know if Pau got kids, but don’t touch the top of my head like I’m one of your kids. I don’t know what his intentions were, and it doesn’t matter. I don’t know if he’s got kids, but I’m not one of them.”
“You’re a grown man,” Paul said. “I’m not going to put my hand on top of your head. They beat us, and that’s the story of the game.”
Gasol, when he was told of Paul’s reaction, said he didn’t intend to disrespect Paul by touching his head.
“I’m sorry he felt that way,” Gasol said. “I do that all the time with my teammates. It’s OK. It’s like if I touch your shoulder or your back. There’s nothing mean about it, but it is what it is.”
Kobe was able to relate with Paul’s competitiveness nature.
“Chris is chippy,” Bryant said. “I’m extremely chippy, and that DNA spreads to the rest of the team. That’s how it is.”

What you forgot to mention is that CP3 called “Soft” to Gasol… Also it is not true that “Gasol & Paul continue to talk…” … Gasol was talking with Kobe…
There is a video… I think you shouldn’t invent just whatever you want. Whatch it more than once.
