A review of the Lakers' and Clippers' play-by-play records from every game this season by The Times showed that the Lakers have converted 110 alley-oop dunks and layups compared with 89 for their fellow Staples Center tenants. That's a 23.6% advantage for the Lakers, though they have played one more game than the Clippers heading into the teams' final regular-season meeting Wednesday.
But Bynum has been the de facto mayor of the basketball metropolis dubbed Lob City, with 76 alley-oop dunks and layups. That's almost as many as the Clippers' Jordan (48) and Griffin (37) combined.
Bynum has been the beneficiary of more than a handful of lobs from fellow Lakers big man Pau Gasol, whose 32 alley-oop assists are more than those of point guards Steve Blake (20), Sessions (two) and the recently departed Derek Fisher (seven) combined.

How good of a passer is @paugasol? Mike Brown just said, “he’s Steve Nash in the paint.” Praised Pau’s versatility. #LakersCamp

I think everybody knows just how good of an alley oop passer Steve Nash is but I think a lot of people tend to over look how good Pau Gasol is at setting up his teammates for the alley oop. The man had 32 alley oop assists in a shortened season with Bynum being his primary recipient. No knock on Bynum but Dwight Howard does a much better job of getting into position for the alley oop. Pau Gasol is going to have so much of positive impact on Dwight Howard's game this season. I think Dwight will appreciate just how much easier Gasol makes his job.
