I agree... David Stern is running the NBA to maximize his profits. He's actually doing this to help the Lakers because it'll help chances for the Howard trade to happen. Definitely shady business going on.. I've been considering boycotting the NBA and this might be the final straw.
You forgot rock4ever. Those two had some crazy ass convos on this board about how Kobe's 5>MJ's 6. Honestly I think all these are alterrnicks of CarlHerrera since he seems to get a real kick out of fake/sarcasm trolling in the forum.
I would have given him a 41 game suspension, or half a season. Not only is this bad according to corporate sponsors ($$$), but it's also bad in the eyes of the players period. It's a cheap shot that has no place in the brotherhood of basketball players, akin to stabbing someone in the back.
suspension lowered to 4 games due to lockout shortened season http://lakersblog.latimes.com/lakersblog/2011/12/andrew-bynum-suspension-reduced.html
A prime Yao was better then Howard and Bynum. It's the sad state of the Centers these days that Bynum and Howard are considerd elite. Both those guys would have been eaten alive by Olajuwon, Ewing, Alonzo, Admiral Robinson, Shaq and a prime Shaq.
I think that you're underrating them. The rule changes have definitely made life harder for the big men. They have less impact offensively in today's game.
