Bynum helped the Lakers win 2 championships. He has two rings, so it's hard to really knock him too much. He was injury prone and had issues maintaining his playing weight, which contributed to his knee issues. He was a talented big man without a doubt.

(1) don't get me wrong - I love this series, but just like with "alternative history" - that the story of, for example, A. Bynum would turn out differently - there was never a chance for that (2) even because of health restrictions I never he was not the material for what some saw in him, just as for mental reasons the same - that's why he considered all this material fantastic with one exception - this one sentence that I'm about to quote is completely wrong. (3) "Jim Buss wasn't entirely wrong in his choice to select Andrew, or give him the Kobe treatment when Kobe was a rookie, because truthfully without the growth stunts we'll speak about today happening, Bynum would've likely turned into his own version of a great player in the NBA, for the Lakers, and Jim Buss.". NO NO NO. That was NEVER AN OPTION. This is pure fantasy just like some crazy "alternative history stories like The Man From High Castle" with Germany defeating USA (Europe ok. but USA - i am sorry... never - i am saying that as european). Never an option with Andrew Bynum.

I mean you can say stunted growth for every injured player in sports ever. If the dude wasn't fitting in and being called weird, what was his big bro mentors reporting back? Isnt it their job to get the kid acclimated to the culture? The dude had 2 rings so it's not like he wasn't an asset. No one calls Dennis Rodman immature but everyone from his teams had a story of him being reckless. Injuries is a b**** and spending half the year rehabing your body is draining too. I think his story is deeper especially with the fact he was the last highschool kid lotto into the draft before they changed the rule

From a medical side, seems like he was set up for failure. People say many negative things about the Sixers and "the process" but one thing that Philadelphia got right was more gradually easing Joel Embiid into professional basketball... throwing a high school player with serious medical questions into the rigors of a full NBA season without properly ramping him up is downright irresponsible. I think with the sports science we have now, they might've taken a different approach.

Even with his bad attitude, I wonder if andrew Bynum healthy would have ended up as a great center in the Mount Rushmore of laker greats. He wasn’t as athletic as shaq, wilt, jabbar but he was talented and had a good iq at center and the position was so weak in his prime. He could have taken over after Kobe but the era of centers dominating was drying out. I would have liked to see Bynum and oden healthy, the defensive powerhouses that could have been with those two but they were boring. Oden would have been more exciting, he was a true freak athlete. They need durability.
