Bynum is a kid in a grown man’s body.
His immaturity is evident and he is currently feeling himself a little too much. This is the first season he has truly been a consistently good player and it appears it has gone to his head.
Without Phil Jackson around to put him in his place, Bynum has been running wild.
Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum might not have attempted any more 3-pointers after being benched last week, but his team’s disciplinary actions against him didn’t end there.
Bynum was recently fined an undisclosed amount for “numerous infractions,” multiple sources confirmed to ESPNLosAngeles.com. One of the stunts that warranted the fine from the team was Bynum blowing off a meeting with Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak.
He was later asked a question about Kobe Bryant’s demeanor during timeouts as Bryant struggled through a 3-for-21 shooting game and Bynum pled ignorance.
“I don’t take part in the huddles,” Bynum said. “I’m resting … getting my Zen on.”
Fines aren’t going to stop Bynum.
He has to make a conscious effort to grow up and I don’t see that happening any time soon.
