Part 2: Andrew Bynum's Giant Leap for Lakers 

Post#1 » by TylersLakers » Mon Sep 29, 2008 6:24 am

Now that they had him, what could they do with him?

If the Lakers' decision to draft 17-year-old Andrew Bynum had been either a heartwarming Cinderella story or Looney Tunes, the best and worst was yet to come.

How many teens molder on an NBA bench, are called out by the team's unhappy superstar and wind up winning the big guy over and saving the day?


Excellent article. Media day is today!

"His major influence wasn't Mark Taylor, his coach at St. Joseph's High in Metuchen, N.J., but his AAU coach, Larry Marshall, who put him on a crash program after he played in the McDonald's All-America Game at 300-plus, taking 25 pounds off him and inviting NBA scouts to see him."

what a shocker

^For whatever reason I can't tell what tone that's in.
