Andrew Bynum isn’t even 25 years old yet.
The Los Angeles Lakers have been waiting for Andrew Bynum to mature for the past 5 seasons. He finally broke out this year as the 2nd best center in the NBA, putting up 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds per game during the regular season. Dominating numbers from a dominating physical presence. But don’t let his physical stature and the numbers fool you, Bynum still possesses the mind of a child.
That mind is not going to change.
Andrew Bynum has been somewhat of an enigma all season for the Lakers. The infamous 3-point shot that sent him straight to the pine encapsulates most everything that Bynum is and has been for Los Angeles. After the benching, Bynum sulked for much of the game, refusing to join the huddle in team timeouts and subsequently played some uninspired 4th quarter basketball. He reacted to the situation like a petulant child.
Immaturity is a good excuse for only so long.

Exactly correct! I was watching him sulk and walk around pouting. I feel for Kobe trying to motivate him and Gasolohol. I would want them out as well. You would be wasting 3 years of building around the big man and he is done, you can't wait another 1 year. Not sure what it takes to motivate a guy to play 80 percent every night? Not as easy as it looks we should all understand, but come on man its play off time get your foot of the brake.
