He will always have my respect for being a key contributor to 2 championships. Heck, if he was healthy the first time we faced BOS, we could've had 3. A shame that the injury bug shortened a promising career. Unlike Dwight, he worked hard to improve facets of his game. I feel we got the maximum out of his short career... and it was worthwhile.
He was the difference maker on those championship teams. I still remember after the Howard trade, Doc Rivers was happy, saying that they always had a harder time guarding Bynum than Howard. Too bad his knees couldn't hold up. _________________ "It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up."-The Greatest
Andrew won't understand. Can't spend a birthday wish. It doesn't come out of a ATM. _________________ "If you see me in a fight with a bear, prey for the bear". Ive always loved that quote. Thats "mamba mentality" we don't quit, we don't cower, we don't run. We endure and conquer.
Bynum was the man while he was here. It was the right move to send him off due to his health, but he was very important in those championship seasons. Hopefully he goes bowling safely for his birthday and has a nice time.

and the best center in the league when he was traded.
he should've been our 5 to this day. he's only 29! imagine a prime bynum playing with this team...
a prime bynum would mean we would've already had a 2nd star FA sign with us, maybe even durant. Imagine prime durant, prime bynum with zero knee issues in this nba with no real centers to defend him. he would destroy the league.
Yeah watching Bynum play gave me so much anxiety. Every time he made an awkward move i thought there goes his knees. Dude was such a beast though, it's too bad his career ended shortly.
He was definitely ahead of his time by trying to shoot threes as a center though lol
