Andrew Bynum is the Joba Chamberlain of basketball. A prospect with all the talent in the world, backed by the hype of playing for his respective sports most glamorized franchise who just hasn't worked out. However in Chamberlain's case it was because the Yankees fucked him over and kept moving him from role to role. Bynum just sucks. He hasn't played in all 82 games since 06-07 and has missed long stretches of time because of serious knee injury. Hell, you only realize he's even on the court once every three games. But people constantly talk about the what if with Bynum. Kid is going into his seventh year already, he is who he is. An over-hyped injury problem who will play well in stretches and disappears far to often. Kobe wasn't wrong bitching this guy out. He's just like Greg Oden. The NBA is so desperate for height that they will give chumps like Bynum chance after chance even though he will most likely let you down, see 2011 NBA playoffs. And he's a fucking moron. He's constantly getting stupid fouls called on him and this is going to be his seventh year in the league. Guy just doesn't understand the game. But I bet he felt pretty tough kicking JJ Barera ass in the playoffs, so now he is taking up boxing. He also felt the need to tell everyone about it by tweeting a picture of himself no doubt getting his ass kicked by whoever he was going against. Look at that picture, he can only go against short white guys.
When will the NBA realize that a guy who is 7 feet but is constantly getting hurt is not someone you can count on. Rockets did it with Yao, Blazers are doing it with Oden, and the Lakers are doing it with Bynum. Give me a 6'9'' guy who can move, knows the game, and can actually stay healthy any day of the week over those three. Give me Nick Collison.
