A balanced center nowadays (offense/defense) is pretty rare, most just focus on Defense.

Other than Dwight Howard, Bynum is the only dominant center IMO.

That is true, Bynums FT% is greater than Howard and Chandler, he shoots the ball more than the other two do.

but how can we forget about Shaq Diesel??? Lol, he was the most dominant center!!

But of course we are talking right now and DH, and Bynum are def in the top 3 centers in the league, but we cant forget about Chandler, he put up good numbers last season, and he is def in the running behind DH and Bynum.

and yesterdays game the Knicks were playing too hurried (they arent the Heat )

edit: and yeah that article about Bynum is pretty funny, he prolly had dope in the car, a dd on the low. LOL

Bynum just needs to stay healthy for an entire season and grow the f up and he'll easily be the 2nd best center in the league...The talent's there he just tends to be a dumb azz at times.

I was watching NBA TV a few weeks back and they talked about how the kids coming through the ranks nowadays are no longer playing like Centers. They are following the Durant/Nowitzki mold and trying to be big guards.

It's sad to see but it's a reality.

he played in 54 games last year during the regular season which was the higest in a few years but we need him for 70+ games.

You're the one that posted that photo of him in the Handicapped spot so I paid attention to this story.

Yeah I dont care much for these kind of articles, they try to change your opinion on a person by writing something negative or not so pleasant about them.

At the end of the day it shouldn't affect how you view that person. Kind of like saying Michael Jackson was a child molester, but it doesn't mean it made him any less great of an artist.

Yeah because how many centers do you know (other than Shaq) that have really made a name for themselves. I mean DH is on the rise, but you see more legends in the NBA coming from the Guard and Forward position (i.e McGrady, Bryant etc)

So players know where they can reach popularity, where they can be seen as a legend in their later career. So they start to follow the same mold. But I say if god gives you the physical frame of 7'0+ and weighing more than 250+ pounds, you should stick to what you can do best, I really don't think anyone would want to see Yao Ming play the guard position.

Nice GTR tho

[nmjaxx9]

Thought Id post this here, short but kinda funny, Im sure Kobe gets a lot of these: Video: Lol: Girl Checks Out Kobe Bryant.. Likes What She See's!

[nmjaxx9]

Looks like Bynum put in work his return game 29 pts, 13 rb.

[KingZee]

He plays like that consistently and he'll definitely be the second best center in the league.

[Waiz]

Monster game from Bynum, I recorded the game and just watched the whole thing

[KingZee]

Damn lucky you my TiVo didn't record I had to settle for the LA Times articles.
