Kobe gets some respect from me

"Here's what else Kobe needs: for big man Bynum to be a more imposing inside defensive presence. So Bryant suggested he pull some Hakeem Olajuwon films out of the archives and study how he blocked shots. Told him he'd be happy to watch with him."

Kobe also told Bynum after the last Lakers/Rockets game to call up Deke to show him some pointers.  Byum blew it off.

Bynum is learning from the greatest, what the hell does he need advice from Mutombo for? LOL! Bynum is currently better than Mutombo, and Mutombo is a disrespectful son of a bitch anyways...He's the type to get annoyed with someone calling him for advice. As for Bynum watching Hakeem, now that's an excellent idea...Hakeem is easily one of the greatest centers to ever step on a basketball court. Studying film of Hakeem is a good idea, but the fact that he's learning from Kareem really makes every other form of Bynum's development seem very petty...Kobe loves seeing his teammates on top of their game though...PeACe

Bynum can't hold Mutombo's jockstrap on the defensive end.

And he's played 200+ more minutes than the 40 year old vet but only pulled down 5 more rebounds.

Block shots isn't the only stat on defense my young friend.

I'm still waiting for KAJ to teach Bynum his hook shot. ;D

Yea, I'm sure Kobe was talking about calling up Mutombo for advice on rebounding...LOL. Mutombo has currently been the main source of rebounds on his team. When Yao plays, Mutombo averages about 3 rebounds a game at most. Right now, Bynum >>>>>>>>>> Mutombo.

Bynum, age 19 = 10 Rebounds Per Game as a starter. 8)

Trust me, they've been in the process...Bynum said he's waiting until he perfects it to unveil the sky-hook in an actual game. Shit should be great...PeACe

When Yao plays, Deke plays like 5 minutes a game. 

Your boy has had 10 10+ rebounding games, Deke has 14 playing less minutes.   Anything else little buddy?

Did you miss the main point of what I was saying? Mutombo has currently been the main source of rebounds on his team...LOL@Ignoring the main point and mentioning something new so that your argument can sound effective. Bynum >>>>>>>>>> Mutombo. Anything else?

You had no point except saying that Bynum has more blocks this year while played more minutes but can't rebound as well as Deke.  Sorry my little cousin but you are wrong. >:^)

Maybe I'll post the video of Deke blocking your boy Bynum to pass your daddy Kareem for second place for all time block shots.

I'm as big a Lakers fan as there is and I think it's good thing Bynum has KAJ to help him develop his game, but at the same time it doesn't hurt to try and soak up even more knowledge from other players.  Especially players that have actually played an NBA game in the past decade.  Sure many of the fundamentals stay the same, but there are  different perspectives and techniques and methods to doing things and that opens up more doors for the youngster to work with.   I think if Bynum ONLY works exclusively with Kareem, that it may end up handicapping him a bit.  It's good to get OTHER outside perspectives and ideas and advice.  Just because you're given the bible doesn't mean you can't skim through the Koran to maybe get a different view on things.

Right now Andrew is still going up way too soft to the rack, still thinking he's in HS and the tallest guy on the floor.  Sure Dikembe is a great shot blocker, but getting blocked multiple times by someone TWICE your age is downright embarrassing.  It was just the way he got blocked that was tough to watch... it wasn't like Deke got part of the ball at the top of the shot... Bynum got stuffed. The sad thing is that Bynum just kind of smirked and seemed to laugh it off... Shit.... I would have gone down the next play and tore the fucken rim down.  He needs to find that fire.  Maybe Cap is too mellow?  Heard AB will be working with D. Howard over the summer, that should be interesting.
