The Laker homers that tout Bynum as the next great thing is in a very isolated minority. Most really wanted to see what Bynum is capable of before they decide if he's worth the max. When you have a 20 year old center who averaged 16/12/2.5 over a 10 game stretch in only 29 minutes you would probably be excited too, but most are not that carried away to rank Bynum as a top 5 center right now. The reason why people like you don't want anyone to talk positively about Bynum is because he was a risky pick that was not expected to be anything, let alone being the 2nd option on a contending team, whereas Oden played like Bill Russell against his college peers and had as much hype as Lebron coming into the league, so it is not considered wrong to think highly of Oden.
I don't think Denied's being a troll. Your post pretty much says it all.
