Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum in LA (2007-2012)

[Human Error]

Lamar Odom
07-08: 14.2 ppg, 10.6 rpg, 3.5 apg, FG 52.5% (37.9 mpg)
08-09: 11.3 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 2.6 apg, FG 49.2% (29.7 mpg)
09-10: 10.8 ppg, 9.8 rpg, 3.3 apg, FG 46.3% (31.5 mpg)
10-11: 14.4 ppg, 8.7 rpg, 3.0 apg, FG 53.0%, 3PT 38.2% (32.2 mpg)

Andrew Bynum
07-08: 13.1 ppg, 10.2 rpg, 2.1 bpg, FG 63.6% (28.8 mpg)
08-09: 14.3 ppg, 8.0 rpg, 1.8 bpg, FG 56.0% (28.9 mpg)
09-10: 15.0 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 1.4 bpg, FG 57.0% (30.4 mpg)
10-11: 11.3 ppg, 9.4 rpg, 2.0 bpg, FG 57.4% (27.8 mpg)
11-12: 18.7 ppg, 11.8 rpg, 1.9 bpg, FG 55.8% (35.2 mpg)

Seems like every Laker fan thinks Odom and Bynum were total scrubs in LA, but they were elite players. Both were madly efficient from the field, Odom the best passer in his position and Bynum probably the best back to the basket scorer in the league. The team had a prime Pau Gasol also. It wasn't really a one man show, they were one of the most stacked teams in league history.

Great team.
But in no planet is it 'One of the most stacked teams in league history'.

Not when you have the 80s lakers with Magic and Kareem (two top 10 players), the Boston Big three (three Hall of fame caliber players still in their prime), The 2012 Lakers (Stacked as ****, but bad chemistry undid them, along with injuries), The Heatles (Come on man, 27 win streak and one of the best MVP runs of recent memory)

So yeah. Great team around Kobe and Pau. Probably the best in the league at the time. But in no freaking way one of the 'Most stacked in history.'
Hell, they barely beat the aging Celtics.

[brownmamba00]

they weren't scrubs but both were head cases who were injured often (esp Andrew Bynum who was out of the L by age 26)

Loved LO back in those days but he's nowhere near the special talent that branvestites describe him to be. Good 6th man tho.

[IllegalD]

Why don't you post Bynum's playoff numbers you insecure, disingenuous little fagato? :confusedshrug:


The worst part about this is that you clearly nitpicked just regular season stats and tried to pass it off as a legit representation of what happened. Even though Bynum suffered injuries for 3 straight seasons (2008-2010) that either took him out of the playoffs completely or severely limited him.

:lol

Ariza, Artest, and Fisher were all way more important to those finals/championship runs than Bynum ever was. His sole all-star appearance came after those championships and in the season the Lakers were swept out of the playoffs and Bynum went out like a b*tch body-checking JJ Barea and getting tossed out.

:lol you idiot, bynum was an all star in 2012, he hipchecked barea in 2011. you think a lakers fan would remember that but not surprised you paid less attention when they weren't winning.

Odom was incredible. His versatility was amazing and Bynum was dominant and helped anchor the best front court in the league along with Gasol - a front court that allowed an inefficient 40% shooter to chuck the ball and still allow the Lakers to win the title in spite of that.

[Doranku]

7/6 and 9/7 in the playoffs = elite :roll:
OP has the most fitting name on the site.

[raprap]

One of the best front court rotation of all time

Bynum/Gasol/Odom

Add Ariza in 09 and Artest in 10 :eek:

[tpols]

i could see an argument for these guys if they did anything outside of couple years with kobe and phil ... but for the most part they literally fell off the planet. Water to wine.

[swagga]

One of the best front court rotation of all time

Bynum/Gasol/Odom

Add Ariza in 09 and Artest in 10 :eek:

that team was stacked. gasol/odom/bynum was a hell of a big rotation. Then you had ariza/artest/dfish, lots of dirty dudes willing to do real dirt to win a ring :lol They were the perfect complement for kobe's 6/24 game.

[Doranku]

In 10 years, nobody will remember who these guys were. People gonna be like Kobe went back2back with who? And who?? :lol

[tpols]

that team was stacked. wade/bosh was a hell of a rotation. Then you had battier/allen/birdman, lots of dirty dudes willing to do real dirt to win a ring :lol They were the perfect complement for LeBron's lack of mental toughness.

see how easy it is ?

What a fagorachi you are.

You jump on me over a simple mistake of one season, yet you let OP slide you clearly nitpicked regular season stats to fit his agenda.

What an insecure b*tch you are. Your life is worthless without Lakers/Kobe to hate on.

:lol :roll: :banana:

[Jameerthefear]

I didn't know this. Just moved Kobe down from #12 to #15.

We're talking about all-time ranking, not the age-range of the girls you jerk off to, you weeaboo pedo.

But that's exactly where 12be ranks!

There's a reason lethick has taken his throne as a top 3 player all time while your idol can't crack the top 10:applause:

[TommyGriffin]

Mozgov > Bynum in the finals.

Look it up.

[Mr Feeny]

Mozgov > Bynum in the finals.

Look it up.I did. Bynum over Bosh is what I got.

Ariza and Artest were both never on the same team. wtf

[Mr Feeny]

Mozgov was a relative scrub. It's incredible that Lebron won 2 games against the Warriors with Mozgov as his front court:eek:

[BigKAT]

Mozgov wasn't a scrub.

But yeah there is no doubt at all that Lebron getting 2-1 on the warriors with Delly and Mozgov as his PG and C, and JR smith being his 2nd option on offense, is one of the most impressive feats pulled by the guy.

Honestly, only the 2016 Finals last 3 games really top what he did in those 6 games vs the warriors. The fact he made us even consider that he could win without kyrie and love against the 67 win juggernaut was an achivement.

But yeah, mozgov wasn't a scrub. Lebron is amazing, but you guys need to stop shitting on his support to elevate him.

Bynum 08-09 playoffs per 36 - 13/7/1/1.9 - 49%TS
Bynum 09-10 playoffs per 36 - 12/10/1/2.3 - 57% TS

Mozgov 14-15 playoffs per 36 - 14/10/1/2.4 - 58% TS

[ihatetimthomas]

Odom was one of the most versatile players in the game but he was also one of the most inconsistent players in the game during his time. Why do you think a guy with his unique skill set could not be a all star? He was a perfect piece once Gasol came because he could finally play the complimentary role rather than being the 2nd option. He was a good player but nothing more than a top level role player.

Nah, Odom was amazing bro. Kobe was clearly the head of the dragon, but Pau and Odom were the wings.

Fisher was veeerrryy good during our 08-10 run as well, lock down D and could hit the 3. Ariza (turned Artest) was important, Bynum down low...all these players made it possible to score.

Double Kobe? You'll get punished by one of these guys. That was the motto.

Gee, I wonder whatever would cause someone to want to try and give false representation of Kobe's supporting cast. :eek: Is it because they are insecure about Kobe's career relative to someone else that they had in mind? Do people really expose themselves that easily on here?

I'm going to have a field day at this place.

:roll:

Fish was too slow to lock people down he was clutch and a decent leader but that's about it.

LO had no right hand and dude was a headcase...but when he was paired up with Pau he played team ball.

Still have dreams about Trevor Ariza...the one that got away.

Overall it was Kobe and Pau doin the hard work. Untill Shannon ****ed his girl.

LO wasn't a headcase lol, in what way was he? He came in, did his job, accepted a bench role with honor (winning 6th man). He was a headcase once the whole trade fiasco went down, but that's it.

I wouldn't say he was a nutcase, but, he did keep pressing that he wanted an improved role (starting over Bynum or anyone, more reasonable over Bynum -- it went on for months) around 2008 and/or 2009, but, he eventually said that he loved L.A. & he's content with his role. Other than that, I don't know what the other guy's referring to, he's been really chill, laid back in his time with the Lakers.

Phil never gave in.

OT: Whereas Luke gave his starting role over to Trevor, he insisted that Trevor should start over him since Phil kept adjusting the first five based on their matchup every game. I thought it was pretty cool and mature of Luke.
