Pau Gasol has been playing ball in the NBA for a good minute. To be precise: for 1,000 games, making him the 116th person to do so. In order to celebrate the past 14 years of court time, the man decided to celebrate the occasion in tonight’s Bulls home game against Charlotte by tweeting out what seems like a fairly boring PR ploy.
Fine, if it wasn’t a PR ploy, then the whole thing seems pretty narcissistic—asking people to proliferate videos of yourself across the Twittersphere to celebrate your accomplishments? Either way, people weren’t really having it. But perhaps the person who saw through it the most was someone by the name of Dirk Nowitzki, who decided to lay down a sick burn on Gasol’s thirsty request.

Leave it to another big man to put the absolute smash down on Gasol. Throwing down a video of Gasol getting clowned on was a solid play. Gasol wanted himself on a poster, and Nowitzki gave it to him—except on the receiving end.
It’s a good thing Gasol had a good sense of humor about it, and took it in stride.
To which Nowitzki copped to his dis.
For a guy with huge hands, Nowitzki sure is good at typing on the Twitter. Loving the off-court trash talk.
