Los Angeles — When Lakers star Kobe Bryant was asked about Pistons center Andre Drummond, he interrupted before the question was even done.
“How many rebounds did he finish with?”
When told Drummond had 17, Bryant smiled, shook his head and replied, “That’s ridiculous.”
Drummond’s 17 points and 17 rebounds Sunday night actually lowered his season averages, a testament to how dominant he’s been through the Pistons’ first 10 games.
“He’s just taking his game to a whole new stratosphere,” Bryant said. “It’s amazing — you feel like you’re doing a good job on him and he had 17 rebounds.
