So far right at the start of summer camp, Kobe Bryant said all the right words about staying in Los Angeles and being a Laker. And of course there were kinds words directed in the much-criticized Andrew Bynum's way.
And the Lakers for the most part have played great basketball beating some good teams along the way. At 25-11, they're a game behind the inconsistent Phoenix Suns for the Pacific Division lead.
But not for long, Bynum will be out for eight weeks for an injured kneecap suffered in that win versus the Memphis Grizzlies.
Last year the Lakers were playing well too until they lost Luke Walton that sent the season spinning awry. Eight weeks is a long long time. And that's assuming Bynum's rehab goes well and on schedule. And speaking of schedules, they're playing the Seattle Supersonics right now and the Suns and the Denver Nuggets will pay them a visit in succession.
The question now is, will the Lakers implode once more? Or are we going to be treated to another of Kobe Bryant's Jekyll and Hyde tantrums.
The best sports reality/soap drama outside New York City is on.
KOBE BRYANT SWISHED AN 18-FOOTER WITH 4.3 SECONDS LEFT TO BEAT THE SONICS IN OVERTIME.
