Back in January—almost eight months ago now—Pau Gasolpissed Chris Paul off. After Gasol and CP3 got engaged in some heavy trash talking at the end of a game, Paul called Gasol "soft" and Gasol responded by patting Paul on the back of the head. And, it didn't go over very well. As we pointed out when it happened, it "resulted in CP3 looking like he wanted to snap Gasol's arm off."

Apparently, Paul hasn't gotten over it, either. He appears on the cover of the new issue of GQ and, in his feature story, he talks about the incident and reveals why it made him so upset. He also explains why he's still salty about what went down.

"We call that sonnin'," he says. "Like, when I take [my son] Li'l Chris to the bathroom, I'll walk with my hand on his head. That's my son. You know what I mean? I understand that Gasol is that tall, but don't do to me what I do to my son."

Yeah! What he said. But, really, isn't it time for CP3 to let this go? We know he was asked about it and that he had to answer the question. But, we hope this isn't bothering him as much as it seems like it is in the story. The Clippers have bigger things to worry about this season.
