Over Bynum's 7 yr career he's averaged 11.7 ppg & 7.8 rpg.
4 years in--like Lopez--Bynum averaged (actually I won't even count his abysmal rookie season, I'll go years 2-5) 12.55 ppg & 8.1 rpg.
So yeah. He had a good year this year but stats don't lie. Kobe wanted him gone not too long ago for a reason.
Shit when you look at his stats this is actually his first season worthy of all the hype he's been getting the past couple years. Ppl been saying Bynum for Howard is the best possible trade for 2-3 years now but if you had the stats in front of you & said Bynum is >>> Lopez before this season you'd look silly as all hell.
forgodsakes..... lopez is balling out on the nets shitty ass nets...
if bynum was on the nets he probably would look like a superstar
nets is shitty as fuck lets see lopez do that on a contender....
niggaz tend to forget bynum is balling out next to kobe and gasol

you say that like bynum is getting open looks and kobe is lobbing the ball to him on some cp3/tyson chandler shit. Most of bynums scoring comes in the post and he gets double teamed also. If you're the only offensive option on a team it's usually EASIER to put up big numbers, word to chris bosh in toronto.... bosh's last 4 years in TO, 24/10, 24/10,22/8,22/10

Its not on the same level as cp3/Chandler but Bynum benefits from having Kobe because he isn't the main offensive player. So that leaves Bynum opportunities to score with little to no double teams.
Btw bosh>>Bynum
I can argue that it's harder to put up numbers as the man on a bad team when you don't have anyone else to take pressure off you, so scoring 18-20+ points per night is hard when youre facing double and triple teams. Bynum gets to roam around and pick his spots to score without having the pressure of being "the man"

they don't watch the games
