Absolute trash. Considering his history, he should get a pretty significant suspension. Doubt Stern has the balls to give a Laker what he deserves, though.

If I was king, Bynum would sit for 20 games. One quarter of the season on sidelines without pay. If he appeals, suspend him for 41 games.

If I were King of the NBA, I'm not sure he would ever play again, and he definitely would not play next season. This is three incidents now of blatant cheap shots; short suspensions clearly aren't getting through to him. He's trying to injure people and that is not acceptable.

Its one thing to throw an elbow. That should be suspended. But it is an entirely different thing to have been suspended for multiple games multiple times for the same thing, including once that induced a collapsed lung and broken ribs.

If you have broken a guys ribs and collapsed his lung, then pull the exact same bull**** in the process of being swept, you deserve to be out for a long time.

I think it was the NHL that had a rule for a while that if you intentionally cheap shot someone resulting in injury, then you are suspended for as long as they are out with the injury. Why not apply that to the NBA?

if that little temper tantrum would have ended JJ's season and cost the Mavs the next series (yes, JJ has been that important to our team), would you have been cool if the organization sued Bynum for their lost revenues?

you cannot be shirley. only a mavs fan.

you really think that in no time in sports history has a player ever commited an act that has led to an injury of another team's important player.


no one is saying it wasnt classless and uncalled for. hence why half the lakers roster went to the mavs locker room after the game to see if Barea was ok. lets tap the breaks a little.

Trash defending trash. Only a Lakers fan.

Simplebay with some amazing logic.

"20 years ago, someone did something worse and didn't get in trouble, so this is really no big deal".

Newsflash: This isn't the 70's/80's NBA. If it was, Kobe's punk ass would have been face-smashed more than once for his antics over the years. This is the "New" NBA, (Since the mid-90's) and in THIS NBA, Bynum is a thug and will likely get to rest his knees for the first 5-10 games of next season.

Bynum is trash.


I've watched a few of the Lockup Raw shows, and he reminds me of an inmate on the show. Hell, he even had on his orange jump suit during the interview yesterday. You can tell he's not too smart, just by listening to him talk. There is no doubt, that without basketball, he would be in the pen.

You are a pretty good representative of the Lakers. True character is revealed when the chips are down, and Bynum proved (again) what a piece of trash he is.

The only difference between you and him is that you're trashy all the time.

Rationalize it however you need to.

The trash was handled appropriately - swept out the door.

In Judge's defense, your terrible writing makes interpretation difficult:

You could extract multiple possible meanings based on the context

Ok... but tapping the brakes would work better.

I got the point he was trying to make, but it was irrelevant.

Saying that important players have been taken out before, flashing a picture from 4 decades ago of a completely dissimilar context, and trying to belittle the severity of what happened for no other reason than being a Laker fan is par for the course. Trash. Simpleton is the one who really missed the point. What Bynum did personifies the pussification of the league: throw your cheap shot on a guy who's half your size, immediately start walking off the court, when you know the other team won't retaliate because there's much more at stake for them.

Repeat offender, who has severely injured another player doing the exact same thing, on a classless cheap shot, when the game and series was over, in the playoffs, and showed zero remorse or regret for it. He's trash, and deserves much more than what he'll get.

the offensive player assumes a risk when he jumps to dunk a ball and make a highlight-reel play. If a hard foul is assessed by the defender and he gets hurt, so be it

Someone really doesn't get it. You try that that move in any pick-up game, and you will start a fight. If it's not acceptable in a pick-up game, it's certainly not acceptable in an organized game.


Other mantras from The Internet Tough Guy's Completely Idiotic Take on Sports:

"The batter assumes a risk when he stands in the batter's box and tries to hit a home run. If a pitcher throws at his head and he gets hurt, so be it."

"The offensive player assumes a risk when he runs with football. If a defender grabs his facemask and twists his head around and he gets hurt, so be it."

"Evander Holyfield assumes a risk when he steps into the ring with Mike Tyson. If Mike bites his ear and he gets hurt, so be it."
