Los Angeles Lakers: Andrew Bynum the Revolution is NOW!!!
During the lockout shortened NBA 66 game season Andrew Bynum was linked to several blown NBA trades involving Chris Paul and Dwight Howard. Bynum stayed honest while dealing with the possible NBA trade scenarios. In a ESPN interview Bynum responded to the rumors saying "I think Dwight is a great player and obviously if the Lakers can get him for the right deal, it would be worthwhile," Bynum said after a early season Lakers' film session . "But, if they want too much [in return], it won't go through."
During the 2011 NBA offseason rumors swirled in circles about Bynum privately wanting his own team. Bynum claims that the rumor was false "I never said anything like that," Bynum told ESPNLosAngeles.com
Many will syill judge Bynum and feel the NBA All Star has taken too long to become a true force. For years media personnel thought Bynum was too soft under the rim and then during the 2010-2011 NBA playoff Bynum exploded sending J.J. Barea flying, Bynum was seething as the Lakers unraveled in a season ending defeat to the Dallas Mavericks.
Since tossing J.J. Barea, Bynum has become an NBA monster. The Lakers now posses a BIG 3 consisting of Bynum, Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant. The combination has been to 3 NBA Finals and won 2 NBA Championships.
As Kobe's body starts to wind down from years of NBA competition, Bynum has become more dominant. While Kobe missed a few games suffering from an injured shin Bynum has taken control averaging close to 20 pts and 20 rebs with out Kobe on the floor. The BIG DUDE's outstanding play has allowed Kobe to rest his injuries this season.
Bynum's new attitude is great for the Lakers. Why is this important? because Bynum represents the next generational step from Kobe. At the age of 24 Bynum's career projectory is starting to climb and with 2 NBA Championships under his belt his set to win not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5 you get the picture the Lakers and the BIG DUDE could be looking at future multiple NBA Championship rings.
