I'm not going to partake in the Bynum bashing. Fuck Laker fans who do this.
Bynum was instrumental in both title runs. Yeah, the first one he didn't put up much numbers, but his presence on the floor allowed Pau to play 15mpg at PF which gave him a decided advantage and kept Pau fresher, especially for when he had to go up against Dwight.
The 2nd title run speaks for itself playing on a badly hurt knee.
Was he a bit immature? Yes. So fucking what? He produced on the floor, didn't he? Lakers lost 2 years ago and Bynum was arguably the best Laker in that series versus Dallas, but the team was flat out tired ater 3 title runs. Last year they simply didn't have enough total firepower, were tired from being overplayed, and OKC matched up real well with 'em. Let's not scapegoat Bynum.
Especially after the years of BIG SEXY and whatnot y'all partook in.
I will continue to root for Andrew and am grateful for what he brought in the past to the team.
