Clearly Chris Webber jinxed him with his comments during the pre-game show on NBATV. They were interviewed Wallace and Webber said he gets worried watching players like Wallace, Iverson, D-Wade who hit the ground almost nightly from driving to the hole. Few hours later this happened.

If it happened to hm, what what you say? You would be happy. Hypocrites.
When is the last time Shaq sent someone to the hospital and caused their lung to collapse? I don't care what you do if 350 pound shaq sends a message in the paint without hurting anyone and you cause someones lung to collapse you are definitely doing something wrong. Bynum didn't do it intentionally but this better be his warning and he better use this as a reminder for the rest of his career that don't let emotions get in the way of your game.
God why is it so hard to find a video of this? They have highlights of the game, but I haven't seen one yet that shows the injury. You'd think an injury that serious might be worth showing in the highlights. ****ing espn.
When [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V8ZukXsWmk]this happened[/url], were LA fans thinking it was a good foul to fire up the team?

Everything is gonna be alright...maybe.
Most of you guys didn't watch the game. It only looked bad because GWall was screaming. Other than that, it looks like a normal foul. In fact the refs initially called a two shot foul.

you said it all. thats why we have replays to catch players who accidentally do stuff like this. and then player like bowen who just do it.
[QUOTE=DuMa]yeah that sucks majorly. g-force is a leader of that team. good job bynum. hope u get suspended for that cheap shot[/QUOTE]
go fcuk urself.....it was a hard foul...but thats about it........
[QUOTE=Kobe24]If it happened to hm, what what you say? You would be happy. Hypocrites.[/QUOTE]
i was assuming that bowen was the one causing the injury in your hypothetical situation. and no i wouldn't be happy if this had happened to bruce bowen, even though i don't like him as a basketball player i don't wish injury upon any player.
When i was watching the game it looked like Wallace was going up to posterize Bynum. Bynum wanted no part of that so he shoved Wallace on his way up.
I guess it's only fair now for Bynum to tear an ACL in practice now.

The Bobcats need to do the same on Kobe Bryant.

lol, yeah, "hard foul"
:rolleyes:
That's tough defense bynum :applause:
But we are in a weak era. And when i say weak, i mean physically.

Bynum looked like he led his the point of his elbow, that made this extremely dangerous. Shaq is all about the show anyways, he doesn't ever want to hurt or maim a player unless it's Brad Miller.
It was a flagrant foul, but it wasn't malicious.

I admit that I didn't see the game, but that doesn't look like Bynum is going for the ball to me .
[QUOTE=Manute for Ever!]I admit that I didn't see the game, but that doesn't look like Bynum is going for the ball to me .[/QUOTE]
he wasnt. it was a flagrant. however it wasnt a dirty play that was intended to injure.
bynum tried to get over to cut off the wallace who was coming quick but by the time he got there it was too late, then instead of allowing an uncontested layup/dunk he threw his arm to stop him/foul him and wound up elbowing wallace in the upper rib.
really unfortunate situation and hopefully wallace is alright.

Found Footage of it.

Definitely went for the man but to say he intended to injure him is ludacris.
daam that sucks. that was a messed up elbow he got from bynum. hope hes ok. didnt look that good. on the ground for awhile, usually gets up after he crashes.
wow. I believe it. He went down hard. And was gasping and groaning. Rolling over and over. The entire team went cross court to check him out.
[QUOTE=5150]anyone got a link? I heard it was really dirty.[/QUOTE]
Wasn't really dirty.
[QUOTE=EricGordon23]Just another reason for me to hate Bynum. Besides the fans that overrate him.[/QUOTE]
Shouldn't be a reason to hate on Bynum. It was unintentional.
It was reckless and stupid, certainly warranting a flagrant 2...but it didn't look like there was a deliberate attempt to injure. He should still sit a game for a reckless act that caused serious harm, but it's not exceptionally hate worthy.
More like the Al Horford shot on TJ Ford, than a Bowen move.

Great defense?. that overrated bum bynum will get his. karma is a *****.best wishes to to "G force" wallace. pray for a speedy recovery.
[QUOTE=Kobe24]If it happened to hm, what what you say? You would be happy. Hypocrites.[/QUOTE]
No. If it happened to YOU, I would be happy. That was not "great defense." It was a young player that wants to be a tough guy and be the enforcer for his team delivering a hard foul and having it turn out very badly. I don't think that Bynum is necessarily a bad guy, he just ****ed up, and ****ed up Gerald Wallace in the process of ****ing up. When a player takes it upon himself to be the extra-physical enforcer he had better be very aware of his actions, as 7-fooot, 260+ pound men can hurt people, especially people that are flying through the air thinking that they're playing basketball. Knocking that guy out of the sky is not "great defense." It's football.
[QUOTE=ZeN]No offence but is this guy brittle or what.. I mean it sucks that this guy is going thru health issues, but the hit was hardly a violent one..
Is it really wise to continue playing a contact sport when you get injured so prevelantly?
I mean anyone would be in fear after multiple concussions, and now a collapsed lung...
Hope he has a fast recovery..[/QUOTE]
I do hope that the rest of the Laker fan base posts with more intelligence and humanity than Zen and Troll24.
Stern will raise this accident to a flagrant 2 and suspend Bynum 1 game.
Looked like a normal hard foul that hit him just right. Freak accident.
I hope G-Force will be OK. : (
That's why Bynum will never be any good...that's why he and Gasol combined got out rebounded by D-Beast....get good Bynum and mess with somebody your own size...oh wait didn't Bynum get sized up by that chump Perkins as well?
what a tool
Wow this news really sucks. I wanted to watch Portland play charlotte with Wallace. If the Blazers win it won't feel the same unless Gerald Wallace plays.
I understand that he injured the guy but it's a first offense and he in no way attempted to injure the guy so why is everyone hating on him so much?
Shaq didn't get this much hate when he clotheslined Stuckey and he acted as though he did nothing wrong at the time.

Put yourself in the Big mens shoes..Your job is to guard the paint, someone comes running in expecting an easy bucket, you wanna defend and make sure no one thinks about driving again so you go hard at the guy who happens to be alot lighter and they end up on the floor.
All i'm saying is to look at this from both sides.
and don't hate on him because of how much some people hype him:violin:
He's getting flack because it was not a basketball play. It was flat-out, "I don't care what it takes, you will not get this lay-up." Over here in Boston, Perk also does that, although no one has had a collapsed lung I do recall a hit he put on Desmond Mason that was just as bad, just not as tragic in the result. When a player takes it upon himself to be an enforcer type he (and his fans) must learn to live with the hate you will get for hitting people in what many will justifiably view as a dirty fashion. If that's how Bynum's going to play he and you Laker fans had better get used to this. KG gets extensive hate just for running his mouth and some dirty picks, and he's never given anyone an injury anything near to this. You guys will just have to deal with it.

This is all nonsense. Bynum got out-boarded by "D-Beast" (whoever that is) because he fould hard? Have you ever heard of Dennis Rodman, Rick Mahorn, and Bill Laimbeer, the "Bad Boys?"
Bynum was afraid of being in a poster like this.
[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF-wUBD4AuI[/url]
F*cking Bynum, takes out our best player just when we're starting to turn things around. We have no answer when it comes to replacing Crash. Adam Morrison? Give me a f*cking break.
Kobe24 you delusional doucheb@g. Why won't you answer the post about something like this happening to Kobe? What would you say then?
Lakers_Kobe_Fan of course you think it was only a hard foul.
What a douche move by Bynum. His arrogance smirks at the refs and now this cheap shot make me not respect him much as a person. Hope someone hard fouls him without the intention to injure.
