What a surprise! : Bynum blasts Lakers/Kobe

Bynum: Dwight's great, but he's going to have to get accustomed to playing w Kobe and not touching ball every single play.

Bynum on the Dwight Howard trade: "Personally, I think they traded No. 1 for No. 2."

Bynum was just stating the truth?

Without much more context it's hard to see his intent...but he's right.


Dwight went from a situation where he was getting the ball often to one where someone else is their best option every time down the floor. That IS something Dwight has to get used to. Hell, Steve Nash has to get used to it too. I've been saying this the entire season. They need time to adjust. They were all #1 options on their previous teams and now they're having to mesh.

Without the question or previous and post comments, I won't judge Bynum for talking ish.


Oh and Bynum saying he believes he's the #1 Center? If he didn't y'all would be blasting him for that. You think Kobe would let up and say Bron or KD was better than him right now?

But by the end of his time in L.A., Bynum felt that Bryant's ball-dominant ways hurt his development as one of the league's best centers.

"I thought it really helped me a lot obviously at first, because he draws so much attention it's hard for guys to double team and key on you, so it helped me tremendously," Bynum told a group of L.A. reporters before the Lakers played the Sixers on Sunday. "Later, I felt I was able to get the ball more and do more things with the ball, so I could definitely see how it could stunt growth."
