08:08 AM ET 04.10 | In somewhat of a good-news-bad-news proposition, Andrew Bynum is taking on the qualities of a young Kobe Bryant. Bynum now has the ability to change games, swing them in the Lakers' favor and get away with being a jerk. Another year or two and he'll have folks, the ones he would ignore if asked to stop and talk, chanting "MVP, MVP." ... [Aloof] doesn't even begin to cover it with Bynum. As tall as he is and wearing oversized headphones as he does, he really can go through life acting as if he's listening to no one. You would hope the Lakers would explain to him what it means to be a pro, but teams shy away from such accountability for fear it might affect a player's performance. Who is going to tell Bynum to grow up? Jim Buss?

SMH! <-- That's for you Guam. lol

Did FN hire Russ and LTCF as Mods? This is the kind of story that's posted to get action going in here.

That said, "Andrew Bynum is taking on the qualities of a young Kobe Bryant"... Oh how I wish! If he mirrors Kobe then we end up with another five titles and the Celtics play second fiddle to L.A.

Oh and Guam, we shipped Odom ouy of town for a reason. He's all yours now pal!

Eli...

We all knew he was immature, why is it becoming such a big deal now? He is still winning games for them while Kobe is hurt, and as long as he does not take any more three pointers why ae they tripping out?
