Andrew Bynum: Sunday Delight

With the Lakers set to square off against the Spurs this afternoon, we're sure to hear a lot of talk from ABC's - excuse me, ESPN on ABC's - crew about Kobe's awesome year, Lamar's return, Tim Duncan's pout, er, fundamentals, Tony Parker's twerpy girlfriend, and Manu Ginobili's MPB.

But we here at MRYBA, well, we don't mind casting the spotlight on the little guys - or, when it comes to Andrew Bynum, the big ass dudes who don't get a whole lot of attention.

Bynum: You may remember him from last season when he showed down with Shaq on MLK day and the aged Diesel flipped out. Well this year, Bynum's been great - when he hasn't been terrorizing Sasha Vujacic, getting crushed on by Jordan Farmar, or mocking referees, he's put up solid numbers replacing injured Lakers Chris Mihm, Kwame Brown, and Odom (including an 11 point, 16 board, 7 block outing in Friday's loss to the Bobcats). Much has been made of Bynum's apprenticeship with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and the old stoner's influence certainly seems to be paying dividends.
