Remember that "Kobe Video?" A low budget parking lot flick (and now a virtual gold mine of a domain name just waiting to be purchased) starring Kobe Bryant calling for the trade of Andrew Bynum? Well, those two crazy kids are now loving each other's company. Bynum's also averaging close to a double-double and that 10.9/9.7 comes with an improved focus, work ethic and assertiveness.

He's also a factor in the Lakers being a top 10 hit with the good folks over at cbssportsline.com.
