Bynum Says Playing With Kobe May Have Hurt His Development

Andrew Bynum hasn’t seen the floor at all yet this year for the Sixers and we don’t know if he will at all this season. But his absence on the floor hasn’t stopped him from talking. The Lakers visited the Sixers over the weekend, and prior to tip-off, Bynum sounded off about his days playing with Kobe:

“I thought it really helped me a lot obviously at first, because he draws so much attention it’s hard for guys to double team and key on you, so it helped me tremendously,” Bynum told a group of L.A. reporters before the Lakers played the Sixers on Sunday. “Later, I felt I was able to get the ball more and do more things with the ball, so I could definitely see how it could stunt growth.”
