I'll take a strong work ethic over raw talent anytime. It's definitely a measurement in the "good" factor.

If Bynum injures himself bowling how can we expect him to play basketball? The worse part is the doctor who said his knees are worse now then they were in the summer. Idk how your knees get worse when you've been doing nothing. The most telling thing is when Bynums interviewed or they show him on the bench. I understand he can't play bc he's injured but it seems like hes perfectly content with sitting on that bench all year. Every interview he has a huge smile on his face. I'm sure Derek Rose is not a happy camper right now. I'm beginning to think Bynum is not gonna play at all this season. Part of me feels like this is Bynums dream just sitting on the bench all season getting paid.

Only thing I could pay attention to was how short the shorts were the chick had on in one of the pictures.

Doesn't matter how talented you are if you have poor work ethic. I wonder how many Bynum stories will come out from his former teammates in the coming years. Looks like the Lakers got a pretty good deal.

Yep. They make very very smart front office decisions for the most part.

You look around the league at teams like them, the Spurs and a couple others and you can tell which teams are generally well run.

Then you can look at Cleveland, Orlando, the Knicks and not so much....

Yeah I think you stepped into me and maths conversation and missed the sarcasm.

The Philly sports media was saying all summer how the Sixers will challenge the Miami heat in the Eastern Conference Finals-LOL


I didn't think he would be that much of a impact if he played because if he was that good they would have beat OKC in the 2nd round

I think part of injury came from the shots he got in Germany, like Kobe gets. Bynum is in the final year year of his contract, he won't get a max contract next year if he doesn't play this year. He is only screwing himself and the Sixers much like that piece of trash Chris Webber did, except Webber got 37 million to walk away.

The Sixers can pick up Greg Oden next.
