DENVER -- The Lakers' Andrew Bynum has a good shot to be the second-best center of this decade following Orlando's Dwight Howard. But he's setting his sights even higher.Bynum believes he can be the best center of the decade.
"Of course. Of course,'' Bynum said in an interview with FanHouse following the Lakers' 107-97 win at Denver on Friday. "I just need to get the opportunity to do something like that. I believe that (he can be the best).''
It would be a tall order to overcome the NBA's premier tall guy. Howard, 25, has career averages of 17.8 points and 12.7 rebounds, including 22.1 and 13.3 this season. Bynum, 23, has career numbers of 10.3 points and 6.7 rebounds, including 11.0 and 7.3 this season.
The first thing Bynum needs to do is to stay healthy. He's had knee injuries that have hampered him for four straight seasons.
So what's the second thing the six-year man must do to reach his lofty goal? To borrow from another guy who has played in Los Angeles, former USC Trojan Keyshawn Johnson: "Just Give Me the Damn Ball.''
