Bynum is a player on the rise while it seems JO is on the decline the last couple seasons

LOL

on point Bynum is gonna be a beast O'neal is a has been we got good chemistry going right now 8)
-
Let me know when Bynum makes 6 straight all star games, or finishes 3rd in MVP voting, or makes a ALL NBA team, hell let me know when he is on a team that gets out of the first round, until then SHUT UP.

yo spice, im no Lakers fan
but this Bynum kid looks legit. He's no Dwight Howard but he's pretty damn good.
-
^^I agree! Dude is beastin no doubt.
but Jermaines been doing this for years so I think its pretty immature for someone to say Bynum>>JO. Its gona still be another few years until we will be able to say that imo.
-
Bynum has all the tools to become better than JO but to say that at this stage of his career is an insult to JO.

the thread starter also thinks the Celtics aren't the best franchise in history despite having the most championships, MVPs and all-star appearances.
-
LOL
How is this funny? Another Spice moment with no arguments? JO is playing his worst ball since being a Trailblazer. Bynum OWNED him worse than he owned Amare. :-X

Your point? Everyone who knows basketball thinks that. Compare the Laker dynasties to the Celtic dynasties, and then try tellin me the Celtics are better. You guys won most of your rings in the span of a decade, when there were barely any threats in the NBA. Compare Laker final appearances throughout the years to the Celtics and then get back to me...PeACe

And? As of now, Bynum is playing way more like an all-star than JO is...BTW, the word you're looking for is premature...PeACe

JO is scoring like 3 more poinst a game
but anything Spice sticks up for must be incorrect
and call me when the Lakers have a dynasty that lasts a decade long. shaq dominated against no threats too.

P.S. It's called the Showtime Lakers.

Outside of the 1991, the Lakers never got into the Finals in the 90s and only made it past the 2nd round one other time. They were the Dallas Mavericks of 90s. Its not like the Lakers did anything worthwhile in the 90s for people to even know them. The 90s belonged to the Bulls. The Rockets. The Spurs. Not the Lakers.
-
Not only did LeBron own Kobe in their head-to-head matchup, but his overall numbers are killing his as well. While LeBron goes for 24 in the 4th quarter, Kobe gets outshined by Bynum and the bench mob.

Martell Webster also had 24 in a quarter this year...LOL.
We all know what Kobe can do scoring-wise. He'd be averaging 40 points and 10 rebounds in Lebron's shoes. :D

You're right...acquiring Shaq and Kobe in 1996 wasn't big at all. ::)
LMAO@the Spurs.

Yeah, probably, as when the Lakers sucked dicked he missed the playoffs averaging 27 points a game on .433 shooting along with 6 rebounds and 4 turnovers.

His supporting cast didn't suck as much as the current Cavs, they just threw in the towel once Rudy-T quit midway through the season...BTW, LeBron was a -7 in the Lakers-Cavs match-up, while Kobe was a +8.

Anyone notice how it's a lose-lose situation with Laker haters? When Kobe is collecting massive stats never before seen in this leage, he's "not getting the other players involved". When he's getting everyone involved and improving his teammates, the bench is "outshining him"...get the fuck out of here with that shit.

Yeah that goes to show the Western Conference is a muthafucka. Then again, Lebron managed to miss the playoffs 2 straight years while playing in the East :-X

it's damn close.

Yeah sure, bringing Shaq to L.A. was a good look. But it didn't do shit for them until the 2000's. How can you down the Suns for being a good Regular season team but a poor Playoff team, yet sit here and big up the 90s Lakers? LOL. Horrible.
When the Cavs played the Lakers back in December, Lebron owned Kobe.

Lakers were very storied in the 90s...that's all I'm saying. you're tryna act as if they were in the same league as the Celtics, which is pathetic. LOL.
Stat-wise, LeBron is up there...but anyone with half a brain will tell you he's not anywhere near the likes of Jordan, Magic, Kobe, Bird, etc...Maybe one day, though.

i was just gonna post that, before he was a ballhog and now that he's a "team player" he cant score all of a sudden. He could take over a game and shoot the lights out if he wanted but thats not how this current team is structured. Kobe has to get his team mates involved and involved early for his team to win.
-
And you realize that it's lose-lose with Laker Dickriders. A team finishes with a better record in the regular season, they're not as good as the Lakers because of some reason. They beat the Lakers and what's said? The Lakers had that, they let the game go. They were 1 rebound away. The refs were against us.
It's rare to see a Laker Dickrider actually admit that the Lakers ever lost because they were inferior.
-
^^That's why they're called dickriders. ::)

Alright lets get back on topic cuz we have like 4 different debates going on right now.
Let's sum it up...
Kobe > Lebron
Lakers franchise > Celtics franchise
How about that Andrew Bynum?

Then why can't any of them hold Bynum? Bynum has nothing to do with stats. He takes 8 shots a game. Come up with some real arguments, basketball head.
-
As per the Lakers lineup we have right now I'd say
Bynum >>> J.O. like a Muthfucka, Imagine J.O. on this team :P
I was always oppossed to a trade for J.O., IMO it was either KG or Bust.
I'm 100% glad the Lakers decided to ride with Bynum.
The Kid is doing his thing right now, By next season we shall see further.
I know/belive he can continue, Once Bynum makes this Double Double thing his everyday game (like he has Sofar this year)
Dude reminds me of a Young Duncan, minus the jump shot but he's defo got a stroke check his free throw's.
Once he adds a Jumper or a least a short range hook on a consitant bassis, GAME OVER.
He's a beast, with Monster in the making.
IMO, he should be considered for All-Star status this year
-
Then why can't any of them hold Bynum? Bynum has nothing to do with stats. He takes 8 shots a game. Come up with some real arguments, basketball head.
If I was NIK, how would I respond "Amare played less minutes." "Bynum went to the line more times than JO and he played more minutes."
LOL. End of the day, Bynum may have had a good game against these dudes, but he still hasn't proven he's better. This is his first season where he's actually doing good. Let's see if he can keep up this pace before you start talking about who he's better than. Last season you spoke nothing but bad about him. But now that he's doing good, you're all over his sack.
-
IMO, he should be considered for All-Star status this year
Hell yeah him and Kaman have been the best Centers in the West this season.
-
I like Bynum... but I will say that JO and Bynum downlow at the post would be better. Why have just one.

SGV...Who would you rather have right now? Bynum, JO, or Amare?

I like Odom over JO in the triangle right now.

^^LOL. The way you discredit Jermaine is unreal. dude has been a superstar for several years now, give the guy some fuckin respect. He is one of the best defenders as a big man on top of everything else he can do.

Tell me the truth, is he playing like a superstar? Trust me, I'm not tryna discredit JO, I always liked him...His game just fell the fuck off the past couple years. He'd probably be re-motivated if he were traded.
-
Again 100% satisfied that The lakers didn't trade for J.O.
Was Against it, Will always be against it unless we get him without trading anyone. (Free agent style)
