James Worthy: "Bynum just as good as Dwight"

[Koolaid_Man]

From what I can tell, Lakerfans' opinion on who's better flip-flops depending on whether or not there's a rumor of the Lakers getting Dwight that day tbh....

Hey Clippa Nation. I'm here...your pappy Kool is here...I think Dwight is better....I don't really like either of them. Drew has reached his potential as well. He won't get any better because he doesn't think he needs too. When he told Laker Brass that he no longer wanted CAP to train and mentor him I knew then he was a head case. I don't like Dwight because he spurned us for Brooklyn..I'm still sour bout dat.

Naw, Dwight is like the strongest guy in the NBA and never got hurt before last season. That's a sign of good work ethic, he just spends too much time on his body rather than his game. Although his body kind of is his game since he's a monkeyballer.

No, it means he never got hurt. Bynum transformed his body from a straight up porker:

And I bet if Kobe or Odom fell on his knee he would have been injured too.

I agree with Worthy, especially now that Howard is coming off an injured back, in fact, I would take Bynum over Howard straight up tbh. The only thing holding Bynum back is his immature actions.

If Bynum didn't have "Black-hole Bryant" playing with him, his numbers would be comparable to Howards.

If the Lakers keep Bynum, you will see an increase in his numbers with Nash on the floor. Nash will also bring a template of professionalism which will really help Bynum.

If the Lakers use their money to improve their bench a bit more instead of chasing Howard, they will be right their in the mix for a ring next year. There is no way in Bosh can keep Bynum out of the paint, and with Nash there now, Bynum will become a "happy camper" literally...right under the basket.

Both you and Worthy are wrong and you have no real basis for belief...fact is Bynum cannot score unless his feet are set which puts him at a decided disadvantage everytime he touches the ball...he always has to bounce it first he can't just play above the rim on an alley...big difference between he and Howard

The need to dribble it every time he's in the post is infuriating. He has much better footwork and post moves than Howard, but it takes him a year and a half to get the shot off. He also still sucks passing the ball out of the double team.

[Clipper Nation]

People forget how all-around dominant Dwight really is, tbh.... Bynum can't touch Dwight's level unless he somehow gets a lot better at defense this long into his career....

I hear you, but it isn't like Howard has a real post game either. Keep in mind that Bynum is two years younger and you are comparing a pre-injured Howard to Bynum...I'm telling you right now, Howard will never be the same player after that back sugery. Howard's game, which is built on his elevation will have to change, or he will miss an average of 15-20 games a year for the rest of his career just due to his back.

He probably copied it from somebody on LG again, but it's true. Bynum is his own worst enemy most of the time.


Here come Kobe jokes.

[mavs>spurs]

He might possibly be right (slightly) but it sure as isn't because Bynum has to score with his feet set instead of catching oops with his feet off the ground like dwight

Since Tyson is still acting like a soft cake and not speaking to me..tell him I said to please stop jocking me.

[mavs>spurs]

Awww it's chimpy!!!! I can't see what he's writing right now lol

[m>s]

DH just an obscene attention , his athleticism is real and that's what makes him look good but bynum is hands down the better player overall. DH just on bigs who're tier than him, when he's exposed to better ones (yao might not be as good as him but still made him suck ass everytime they played head to head) he's struggling to perform

[Josepatches_]

Bynum could be better but Howard would fit better in LA

Bynum got work ethic, but so does Dwight. Players who aren't hurt often are usually working hard at preparing their body for NBA,
