Who cares what Bynum does? I don't really know the point of this article. Everyone has room to grow and could always be doing "more". The fact is that Bynum is going to be a good player, and how hard he works will dictate how good he can become (health as well).
It is not like Kareem is being cut off from all contact and I don't think either Kareem or Bynum are making a huge deal of it. Yall are.
This is just a ploy to sell tickets, newspapers and get TV ratings. It usually happens when people know that the team they cheer for is good. They do not buy tickets because they assume that their team is going to win every time. The public needs something to get butts in the seat and eyes glued to the broadcasts.
If it isn't a ploy... then I think Bynum is re ed. Who cares if Kareem is an ass or not. He is an ass who could possibly make you a better player.
You are correct. Doing a commercial with someone doesn't mean I know them. You must not have comprehended the "to a degree" part of that sentence. However, Being around someone for several days and watching their demeanor when interacting with others did allow me the opportunity to form an opinion on the person. Add to that the numerous articles written along the same line about the guy only confirmed my opinion and thus my comment.
As for basketball and my idiocy as you called it. I was hurt in a auto accident when I was 21. I took up wheelchair ball and excelled at it. I played 26 consecutive seasons. I was on a club team that won 8 national championships in 11 years and holds the record for longest winning streak (98) of any sports team. I have played on numerous USA international teams and won a bronze medal in the 96 Paralympics. My picture along with other teamates hangs on a wall in the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield. I have been involved in many camps and international goodwill tours to both teach bball and promote our sport. What's your experience with basketball other than spewing BS on a forum?
I don't smoke and never have. I could care less about movie stars. And I am proud to be a longtime Laker fan and season seat holder. Our dominance over the spurs is just a bonus!
So in other words... your post FAILS completely!

this writer is trying to make things look worse then they really are..Andrews biggest obstacle is health & we all know what he's capable of when he's 100% healthy & conditioned..Kareem will still be watching & giving pointers but they probably wont spend as much time together as they have in the past...
This. Dumbass Bynum
Jackson to spend more time working with Bynum
With Lakers center Andrew Bynum deciding to scale back his work with assistant coach Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and with former Lakers assistant Kurt Rambis -- who also spent plenty of time working with Bynum -- taking the head coaching job with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Coach Phil Jackson said he'd spend some time working with Bynum.
"My own focus is going to be in that direction because Kurt was really the guy that spent a lot of time with him, working on some of the details of his game," Jackson said.
Jackson joked that "just about everybody on my staff wants to have a piece of Andrew," meaning that assistants Brian Shaw, Frank Hamblen and Jim Cleamons all will work with Bynum.
Jackson said Bynum has been running the court pretty well during training camp and that his condition looks good.

Looks more and more like a Laker decision.

Thread reads like it was from Lakersground.
This is such a non-story.
Who cares about Bynum? He's going to be pwned by Oden for the rest of his career anyway.
Having too many trainers at the same time is a bad thing. The odds of contradictory training are really high.
Kareem is not a great coach he showed bynum moves but we camn get another big man tutor Gasol could teach Bynum some moves ...
Idk why so many people are arguing with Cobbler for saying Kareem is an asshole, he's widely known as a bag. It's not like everyone else who's ever interacted with Kareem views him as a nice guy.
Bynum > Blair > Oden
Seriously, your team sucks tlongII. They'll never win a thing this decade.
Ewing stopped teaching Yao, and do you really think that Ewing will teach Dwight for Dwight's whole career
Typical Laker. Such garbage.
You have the Mavs buried in yer ass. We have "all that going on."
tee, hee.
I can't go into details but Kareem being gone has relatively little to do with Bynum.
I'll put it this way. Him tweeting from the stands during the playoffs instead of sitting on the bench rubbed people the wrong way.
Uh, Clev, good morning, chappie, but, one thing:::if it ain't Bynum's fault...STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We will trade Tmac for him....

I had to bring this back up.
http://lakersblog.latimes.com/lakers...h-quarter.html*Regarding the Kareem thing, Bynum said he's not sure what all the fuss is about, or at the very least, why this has become such a big story. "I have no idea where it's coming from. We haven't even got into the season yet. I only work with him during the season, so they'd have to be talking about offseason work, but I wasn't even here. I was overseas, and when I came back, I was in Atlanta working out," he said. Certainly PR director John Black wasn't making things up when he said last week that KAJ's role would be "generally lessened," but I was left with the impression in our (albeit short) conversation that Bynum really didn't know much about it. Personally, I'm not so concerned about from whom Bynum takes his instruction, just that he feels a continuing need to learn. Bynum noted that he's still coming in early every day to get extra work, and doesn't consider himself a finished product by any stretch.

Because you rung, youngster. And yer a Laker.
Everybody has been mighty raw since D. Fish sighted off the top of Nelson's gourd for that 3.
