All he does is shoot

Andrew Bynum wasn’t sleeping with an assistant coach’s wife. Though that’s a fun rumor and I truly wish, with every fiber of my being, that it was true.

Nope. Turns out he was just a massive, selfish asshole. Which sounds about right.

From Yahoo Sports:

Everything the Cavaliers had done until free agency in the summer of 2013 had been to clear hurdles for James’ return. After passing on the two best center prospects to come out of the draft in the past several years, Grant made an extraordinary leap of faith on signing free agent Andrew Bynum.

After missing an entire season with Philadelphia to chronic knee problems, several teams investigating the signing of Bynum were convinced he had the desire to push through rehabilitation and be a productive player again. But no one made a serious offer to Bynum until Cleveland delivered him a two-year, incentive-laden deal that could’ve paid him $25 million. The Cavaliers preened, too. Owner Dan Gilbert tweeted, “What’s next, C.G.?” Within the league, people wondered: Why are they taking bows?

Only Bynum never made it to the early January guarantee date for his full $12.5 million salary in 2013-14, and self-destructed. He stopped trying on the floor, and became a disruptive presence in practices. Before Bynum was thrown out of his final practice and suspended, he was shooting the ball every time he touched it in a practice scrimmage, sources said – from whatever remote part of the court he had caught the ball.

OH MY GOD HE’S THE NBA 2K14 PLAYER WHO INADVERTENTLY PRESSES SQUARE AT MID-COURT BECAUSE HE THOUGHT IT WAS A HOP-STEP BUT ACTUALLY IT’S THE SHOOT BUTTON. I LOVE THAT GUY! ANDREW BYNUM IS THAT GUY!!

I wonder what he’ll do next? Maybe the 2k11 disappearing torso glitch?!
