Pippen Thinks Lakers Can Make Run At Bulls Record

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:00:00 -0500

Via Chris Mannix of SI.com: "The Lakers have a chance," Scottie Pippen said. "They have the luxury of a young center like [Andrew] Bynum, a young power like [Pau] Gasol and even Josh Powell is a guy who deserves minutes. They have a lot of depth. If anybody can challenge [the record], it's them." Before I blast the most overrated player in the history of the NBA, I should point out that I don't know what type of question lead to this response. Did Mannix say "...

Bynum Too Good For Kareem's Advice

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 11:39:25 -0500

Via LA Daily News: Has Andrew Bynum outgrown Kareem Abdul-Jabbar? For four years the relationship between the NBA's all-time leading scorer and Bynum seemed to be a productive one. Abdul-Jabbar took Bynum under his considerable wing, taught him post skills and footwork, while Bynum listened and grew into one of the brightest young centers in the NBA. But that relationship now seems to be running its course, at least as far as Bynum is concerned. Sources close to the team said that Ab...

Video: Andrew Bynum's Playboy Golf Hula Hoop Rehab

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 19:07:19 -0500

Andrew Bynum is getting some heat for staying in L.A. this weekend and partying at Playboy's Celebrity Golf Scramble while the Lakers were on a road trip. He is currently rehabbing his knee, and I guess some people think that means he needs to be at physical therapy 24 hours a day. The picture below of Bynum giving a piggy-back ride to Playmate Nicole Narain on Saturday night has been all over the internet (as originally reported by SI's Arash Markazi).

Yardbarker was covering the Playboy Golf event, and I ran into Bynum on Friday on the golf course. In all fairness, he made a point NOT to golf (contrary to what Sports Center reported). He spent most of the time sitting at the clubhouse and I had to convince him to get up from his table and visit a few of the tees to hang out. He was trying not to draw too much media attention to what was just a harmless day of fun, so I wasn't planning to post any video of him. But since the word is out now, I'll share this video which shows just how harmless his "partying" was. Here is Andrew Bynum's physical therapy for the day: hula hooping with some of the Playboy Girls of Golf...

Yardbarker at Playboy's Celebrity Golf Scramble

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 16:09:57 -0500

Yardbarker was in L.A. this weekend for Playboy's Celebrity Golf Scramble, and yes Andrew Bynum was there -- I wasn't going to put him on front street when he's supposed to be rehabbing, but looks like word is already out. Anyway, the event was a three-day extravaganza which included a day of party-golf, parties at the Playboy Mansion, and lots of celebrity athletes and beautiful ladies mingling with all of the golfers. This video gives you a preview of what's to come...

If you're already thinking about next year's party weekend, you can go to PlayboyGolf.com to register for a local event to get started (I hear the local events will be starting shortly!).

In the meantime, add PlayboyGolf as a favorite and stay tuned to this page for more video and photos from Yardbarker's Playboy Golf trip!

Andrew Bynum's Rehabbing His Knee At The Playboy Mansion

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 10:04:17 -0500

Wearing a green smoking jacket and slippers, Bynum… partied like a rock star near the infamous grotto. He picked up Playmate Nicole Narain and placed her on his shoulders and got somebody to take a picture with his digital camera. He hopped over a velvet rope near the DJ booth so he could take a picture with Narain and other Playmates who ended up sitting on his lap.
