He was a filthy scumbag who almost ended the careers of NBA players with dirty play. I'm glad Karma came back to him.

That's probably fairly accurate. Bynum never liked basketball that much in the first place. He was probably really tall as a kid so people kept on telling him to focus on basketball and he could make a lot of money one day, which he did.

Swa this on reddit and it blew my mind: Since Bynum was traded from the Lakers, he has played in 29 games in 2 seasons, on 4 teams and made ~$30million http://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/24yq6p/since_andrew_bynum_was_traded_from_the_los/
Andrew Bynum will go down as the biggest troll the NBA has ever seen. Act like you care even a little at the start of your career, win a championship, earn millions, be tall, get bad hair cuts, act like you care again, and just wait who else thinks they can give you another 2 or 3 million because now you'll play for cheap.
AB's destined to be Zen'd at the minimum and, like Phoenix, or Phoenix' med staff, rise again to Zenglorious heights.

A pretty spectacular $56,471 per minute played. ^Translation: he hasn't rediscovered a love of basketball, he just hopes someone will pay him to live in L.A.?
Why not? I mean, they aren't going anywhere any time soon and no one worth a damn wants to head there till they get rid of Kobe so they might as well bring him back.
