after reading this article I would def tell him to become Bynum's mentor and guide him the way he would have wanted Shaq to guide him. seems like Drew is hungry for more responsibility, but doesn't know the ropes yet.
On the day Phil Jackson pointed his cane toward the door for good, Kobe Bryant reflected on the olden days when Bryant didn't have a voice.
"He had to appease 'The Big Fella,'" Bryant said Wednesday of Jackson and Shaquille O'Neal. "In doing that, a lot of times I was road kill."
It's easy to forget all that went down — and how hard it was to juggle Bryant's will with the needs of other egos.
It was established from the start that Bryant wouldn't be practicing much, and he hoped to see the teammates he had so inspired in the past would start to carry that blazing torch.
Instead, he said they screwed around because the bossy big brother was absent – which Bryant on Wednesday called "upsetting to me."
"Guys felt like they could take days off because I'm not there," Bryant said.
There was no doubt about that, with non-game days featuring on-court sweat for most everyone except Bryant, who would get stretched out or rubbed down in the training room.
That led to those days being called "Kobe Spa Days" in the Lakers' inner circle.
