Sike.

Only if I'm bleeding from the top of my head would I seriously say something like that. Dwight Howard is better than Andrew Bynum, and if I ever change that statement, you'll know that something has gone terribly, terribly wrong in either Dwight Howard's career or my mental state.

But when I watch Andrew Bynum play, I see him doing some of the things that I want to see from Dwight Howard. No, not pouting or getting shoved out of the way. I'm talking about post moves. For the first six to eight minutes of every Lakers game, Andrew Bynum is one of the top three centers in the league.

The Lakers throw the ball into Bynum, he sets up and he goes to work. Hookshots, drop steps, up-and-unders; he's a "Dream Shake" away from being Hakeem Olajuwon. He follows shots, he rebounds, he changes the shots of opponents...and then after the first eight minutes are up, he's done for the night. If Lakers' games were only one quarter long, the Lakers would have lost about two games all season and Bynum would have been in MVP contention.

It is always good to have friends in high places. Our partners are Yardbarker.com were covering the Playboy event this weekend and while everyone by now have seen the Andrew Bynum picture with Playmate Nicole Narain I am pretty sure no one has seen this video of Bynum getting his Hula Hoop at the Playboy Mansion with some lovely ladies.

Then again this is the type of stuff you expect out of BSO right? Of course you would have known about this before it was even posted if you were following me on Twitter:

While I would never trade in a million years my status of Bona Fide Sports Expert because my list of groupies is long (up to 6 now) I would love to a celebrity athlete just for a week. Can you imagine the type of damage I could cause?

The weather is getting warmer which means the "Pimp Focus" is in full effect. Andrew Bynum surely was focus at the Playboy mansion this past Sunday. Now of course Bynum is suppose to be focusing on getting that knee healthy for the playoffs, but the knee looked very sound when he was hoisting Playboy Bunny Nicole Narain.

That would be the same Nicole Narain who released a sex tape with her and Colin Ferrell and reportedly dated K Fed, but to hear more about what I think about that you have to follow me on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/BlkSportsOnline).

The story was broken on Fanhouse here are some of the details:

Lakers Center, Andrew Bynum's MRI revealed a torn MCL which will keep him out 8-12 weeks, which will surely test the Lakers with a tough few games with Boston up on Thursday, and Cleveland on Sunday, both road games.

More on this as it develops in the coming days.

Yeah, he's soft. Yeah, he's still immature. Yeah, he has been known to shy away and become non-existent when he is needed the most. And yes, the first time he played Shaq, Shaq dunked on him so hard, he will forever be on one of Shaq's greatest posters.

But Andrew Bynum is still also, only twenty-one years old, a baby to some. So sure, he's soft, and sure he gets tired and will make some careless mistakes with the ball. But if you haven't seen Andrew Bynum play basketball, then you truly are missing out on something special.

True, Pau Gasol is the second option on the team, and is the most consistent Laker on the team this year. And anybody believes Bynum will never amount to anything more than an average center int his league will be quick to point out Bynum's stat line against bigger, more physical centers like Orlando's Dwight Howard (3 rebounds).

But believe it or not...Andrew Bynum is slowly becoming the player the Lakers had truly hoped for. Andrew Bynum...is slowly evolving.

Into an idea called greatness.

I don't want to rain about Bynum's parade "pun intended", but you would think that someone would have told Young Bynum that "Making It Rain" is normally a good gateway to trouble. I understand he is 21 and wants to have fun, but he has to be careful and someone needs to be in his ear to let him know that athletes are targets.

Over the last couple of years too many athletes have been involved in incidents where they decided to flaunt their wealth in places where individuals see that as a lack of respect.

Young Bynum just a word of advice keep your money in your pocket.
