Agreed that he looked great over the span of when he was healthy, really showing his amazing talent. But how will that change when he's playing next to another big man like Gasol? Also, keep in mind like the early Amare and Dwight a lot of those 17 ppg were off of great penetration by Kobe and finding Bynum for the easy dunks. I honestly think(and hope) that the chemistry of the Lakers will not be as great as people say it is when Bynum comes back, sure he's a great player but him at this point in his career thus far and Gasol as he has always been are good at making easy buckets off of feeds or offensive rebounds, don't have that vast of a low post game to make that huge of an impact. But we will see..
I find this very interesting actually. We have yet to see how the Ron Artest experiment will work out. I don't want anyone to start counting their chickens before their eggs are hatched. Boston proved it with a ring. S.A. has proved it with their multiple titles. L.A. well kobe just went to the west finals with his group... yes we are stronger but we still have alot to prove this offseason. Heck we have yet to get out of the first round with our duo.... New Orleans and Detroit's trios have proven themselves quite nicely last season as well. Let's take baby steps before everyone just puts this team on top right away. I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping we are on top of them all because we definitely have potential to be better than all of them especially now that we have either battier or artest coming off the bench and giving mcgrady some rest. finally we have a capable starter to back up Mcgrady. Now we need to get Mutumbo back for Yao and start getting Dorsey ready to beast up.
Oh please. Toronto's big three is underrated? They're right where they should be. Calderon is good, borderline all-star good in fact. But he's not a Big 3 kind of guy. Jermaine O'Neal is just as bad as T-Mac injury wise (or even worse), and his game isn't nearly as potent. Chris Bosh is KG light (although he does have a penchant for hitting those sweet high-arching 3-point game winners). Sorry, but I think they're ranked right where they should be ranked.
