Drew!

I look for Andrew Bynum to break-out this year, I mean how else are you suppose to react after your superstar calls you out. “SHIP HIS ASS OUT”, that’s what Bynum heard this summer, and coming from their team captain. Andrew Bynum has a lot to prove this year since the front office of the Lakers held on to him if the other guy is not Kevin Garnett, and this is after Kobe asked empathically that the Lakers get him help. But hey, the kid shows a lot of potential and skills last year before disappearing in the 2^nd half of the season, put by many as his rookie season.

From what I’m seeing this kid is taking all the pressure well. I mean, not a lot of young kids have the Lakers (an elite franchise in the NBA) looking for you to perform, have Kobe (Best player in the NBA) expecting you to play at his level, the coach - Phil (one of the best coach in the NBA, not to mention Hall of Fame) likes you to man the middle, and mentored by Jabbar (one of the best center of all time in the NBA) who again expects you to listen and learn his ways. Dang! Just writing those things made me tense imagine what Bynum is thinking, but then again if he uses all this blessing that has been given to him by the NBA gods he will be one of the elite centers for a long time.

“No Sir.” Said Bynum when asked if Kobe apologized to him. Did Kobe lie when he said he apologized to Bynum? But what else can you say when you're Bynum. If you want to be a Laker, you have to say NO SIR. I like this chip on the shoulder thing that Bynum is showing, it only means one thing. He will be a stud when the season starts. Will Kobe and Bynum be friends all season long? Who cares! As long as the kid performs the breakout season of his career.

Cheers!
