Stop the Andrew Bynum Hype


Please, stop.

Why? because its not hype, its real. Recently a couple of sites published articles predicting just how good Andrew Bynum is going to be, Fanhouse and CBS sports. Its hard to argue with all the points they bring up. He's barely going to turn 21, he's a 7 foot 290 pound monster, he did it for a 1st place team, he outperformed all other big studs at his age, and most importantly, he wants more. He has shown more dedication in two off seasons than a former Lakers great center showed in his entire career. He's got a mean streak too. Whether it be getting dunked on and running back down the court to get pay back, or screaming to get the f****** ball in the PRE-season, he knows what he wants and he'll do what it takes. Did I mention that he has shown maturity beyond his years? there were no hard feelings after the "ship his ass out" fiasco and when asked about his contract extension, he just says he'll perform on the court and the rest will take care of itself. Howard, Oden, Bynum, whatever order it is, this is the future of nba centers. Anyone that doubts it because he only played 35 games this past season, enjoy it for a few more months.
