Bynum Time
So how about Andrew Bynum?
After all the issues this summer--from trade rumors galore to the internet video of Kobe bashing the big man in the parking lot of a strip mall--Andrew Bynum is finally coming into his own.
The young center finished with 28 points and 12 rebounds yesterday to play wingman to Kobe's 38 points as the two led the Lakers to a 122-115 Christmas Day Victory over nemesis Phoenix Suns.
Bynum's even earning praises from his opponents. "They've got a legitimate big man," says Shawn Marion. "Bynum killed us," says Coach Mike D'Antoni. "He looks really good and did a great job today," says Raja Bell.
Not bad for the guy who Lakers fans and Kobe wondered why the heck Mitch Kupchak refused to trade him for Jason Kidd.
He's no superstar yet, but he's averaging over 12 points and 10 rebounds per game, and only improving. Alley oops keep coming, and Bynum keeps putting them down. He's cleaning up the glass, dunking it down (I think I saw a stat where he's 2nd in the league in dunks this season), and playing great defense with many blocked shots.
At 18-10, the Lakers are finally looking good. Who would have thought just a two months ago that they'd be mentioned among the West's best? I couldn't be more thrilled.
