Are we supposed to ignore half of the roster?

Pau Gasol - All-star before, likely an all-star now even late in his career. Criminally underrated by Kobe fans while on the Lakers
Lamar Odom - Has there been a guy with more pg skills/duties at his height? 6th man of the year. Bit of a headcase, but again Phil has a talent for controlling headcases.
2010
Same as above except swap Ariza with Metta
Metta World Peace - former DPOY, which is a rarity on the perimeter. Well rounded but obviously on the tail end of his career with the Lakers. Still, had some well timed shots and played his role well.
what were these guys before and what are they now...just something to discuss.
My take.

Oh yeah, 6ppg/3rpg and 8ppg/7rpg in the two playoff runs, so overpowered.

when you single out...of course it seems mediocre at best. however, the question was collectively as a front court and do you have an answer as to there being one better than Gasol/Bynum/Odom?
a little reading comprehension goes a long way..for some, that is

is there a reason you ignored Kobe on your list?

Bynum does get overrated, but considering he was in limited minutes and had 2 other serviceable bigs to help, he did make a big difference.

One third of the combination sucked. Odom wasn't as good as everyone makes him out to be. Gasol was (and is) very good.
So, 1 bad player, 1 decent player, and 1 good player.
I'm pretty sure a majority of frontcourts in the league could boast that.

Bynum wasnt even a force in the playoff. Odom was alright and gasol was there second best player on their team. Besides that, their roster sucked.

Great front court, but Fisher was one of the worst starting PG's in the league, and Artest was mediocre in 2010.
Good teams, but they weren't historically stacked or anything. Aside from Pau and Ariza, most of these guys are long gone.

Now it's confirmed.
You're the most blatant nitpicker Ive ever seen. You really tired to make Bynum's career sound respectable right now.
