Andrew Bynum is only 32. He’s been washed up for 8 years.

bynum was garbage. if kobe stans were smart they'd make the argument that he wasted some of his prime years because he was already the best player in the NBA in 2006. even in the '08 finals he was held back by scrubs like radmonovic. celtics smashed those scrubs, shit on those dudes like some bullies. even had sick comeback in one of the games.



thats the only time I ever cheered for the celtics. thats why paul pierce is the truth. plus kg and of course king ray allen. Im a big fan of the '08 finals. :oldlol: :roll:

Damn, that team was fun to watch. Pretty funny that some people still think Kobe wasn't a good leader. Look at the downward spiral Bynum took after leaving the Lakers. Kobe made this clown into an All-Star and two time champion.

[FKAri]

You need passion, dedication and work ethic to come back from an injury, especially as a big. We knew he was never super committed to basketball and once it got hard he sort of just let go of basketball. At least that's my opinion on the matter.

[1987_Lakers]

Bynum's injury history was so frustrating to watch. I remember in '08-'10 it was always, can Bynum stay healthy? Will he be available in the postseason? When the Lakers won back to back chips, he did play, but he was obviously playing through injury, not the same player. It might have been a blessing considering the Lakers chemistry seemed better when Odom was in the lineup.

Bynum seemed to pull it together in 2012, he was so skilled offensively, scoring seemed easy to him that year, he surpassed Pau as a player. He seemed to finally get it together, but just couldn't escape the injury bug after he was traded. Although very talented, he never really seemed to love the game and his prone to injury was his downfall.

also made odom who is a known brothel visiting crack smoker a champ.


made gasol a champ too came back with a gold medal after the summer and said "if you ever let kg do that to you again I'll beat the shit out of you" the rest is history pau lead the team to the next two rings and got his revenge on kg saving kobe's career.

[RRR3]

People on ISH (mostly Lakers fans lol) were legit arguing who was better between him and prime Dwight Howard in 2012. Funny to see people act like dude wasn't a beast now. He was never as good as Dwight but he was a monster in 2012. And he was damn good before that as well.

both trash. I'll throw the ultimate insult out and say they are whiteside-tier trash in todays NBA.

That song was hot gabbage

[TheImmortal]

Its eerie how Goatbe was able to manage with players such as Bynum, Odom and others to multiple rings.. This is the antithesis of the LeBrick model ie stacking to Burj Khalifa level to compensate for his inadequacies. Pathetic.

[RRR3]

Dwight could guard the perimeter and actually TRIES so that's a pretty awful take.

He's only 32?!

The fck

didnt the LeBron Cavs almost bring him back once?

[red1]

when I saw dwight get wrecked by the lakers in the finals I laughed so hard. :oldlol: it was a good thing that the cavs lost to the magic because gasol and odom were both long could defend could run, could both handle the ball pass, shoot, everything. they would have absolutely destroyed old Z and the midgets of doom with kobe and fisher hitting painful daggers.

and then dwight gave me another gift in the 2012 lakers. man that shit was so ****ing fun, dwight thought he could actually score. poor chuckbe was getting flashbacks of his 2006 one-man team and playing with kwame. it was back to being sabotaged by every player on the team except this time he didnt have phil jackson he had pringles or mr potato head instead :roll:

Andrew Bynum wasn't garbage. He was the best center in the league until kobe rammed himself into Bynum's knees thus permanently damaged his career

[superduper]

It's a known fact that Kobe's "championship" casts are among the lowest tier of "champions". Insane the type of players he took all the way to the ring.

This dude Bynum is literally a poor man's Hassan Whiteside.

well, yea but the era was just trash.

nuggets, jazz, hornets, magic, what the fck was his competition?

the only comp he had beat him and lost in 7 due to refs.

09-10 lakers wouldnt have won squat in any single year since then.

They would have definitely won against the Cavs in 2018.

Lakers PPP were 1.01 above average in terms of points made per possessions.

The Cavs were 0.97 in PPP. Thats below average relative to the league.

The Cavs bench at that time produced terrible results.

I decided to exclude players that played less than 50 minutes in the Playoffs because they werent necessary to their respective rotations.

The Cavs bench posted a BAD Net Rtg of minus 4.7.

while

The Lakers bench were still bad but scored less terrible compared to the Cavs.
They posted a Net Rtg (on/Off) of minus 2.7.

Lets add in some context here. The Cavs were coached by Lue while the Lakers were coached by the legendary Jackson.
The Cavs would be simply outcoached by the better coach, Phil Jackson who won more titles prior and therefore had more coaching experience.

All of Cavs top 3 starters including LeBron James posted net negative ratings.
All of Lakers top 3 starters were all positive blowing the Cavs starter out of the water.

Then you got to consider the team composition.

Lets take their 2nd best players Kevin Love and Pau Gasol.

Kevin Love posted a negative Net rating throughout the entire Playoffs while Pau Gasol was all positive with +4.9.

The Lakers no doubt wins against the Cavs in 2018.

[tpols]

poor kid was such overhyped garbage. ]

nah bynum was really damn good, he just sort of quit.

for somebody that didnt have any fun playing basketball and being goaded into it becuase of his size, he had tremendous post moves, soft touch and skillset.

[ralph_i_el]

It's hard to come back from cronic knee problems, especially if you don't really love the sport. I can't blame him for making his money and getting out.

He was a good player for what he was asked to do. He and Pau put a ton of pressure on the offensive boards.

[Lebron23]

The guy was just unlucky that he was injury prone since leaving the Lakers. At his peak he was a top 3 Center in the NBA.

Not just is that not relative to what I said, you also can't compare these stats across different seasons.

Liking the effort, though, kid.

LeBron would take over that series. He's miles better than 2010 Kobe
