But keep on acting like he's a piece of that hasn't proven anything in the NBA while you crown Tiaggo Splitter as the next Tim Duncan even though he hasn't played one minute of NBA basketball.

Start with the fact these are Lakers' fans. After all there was once a multi-page thread on LG.net about how Medvedenko was the next Dirk and once after a good game they had pegged Walton as the next Larry Bird. Based on that I think it's safe to say that Lakers' are right in their element saying Bynum is the next Russell, Wilt, Hakeem and DRob all rolled into one.
Sucks for the Lakers if he's not going to be back healthy....
Also, I'm not scared of Bynum. I'll be scared of Bynum when he does something against us, or against a good frontcourt, in the playoffs.
The fact that his only 20 and had two major injuries prove how fragile this kid is. You can't be dominant if you're not playing. Instead of looking to a future of domination - you'd be looking at a injury-filled future coupled with a lot of frustration.
You'd see him get traded in Atlanta in a couple of years.
With or without Bynum, The Lakers would beat the spurs in a heartbeat.
LOL he's had one major injury in his career thus far. But I'm sure you are praying that he has a history of injury problems.

excuse me you dumb but do no say" you spurs fan" because that is only the opinion of one person you stupid idiot only a laker fan would say something like that, I really don't think the fakers can beat the spurs
Remember, I already tore an ACL back in high school, making this my second serious knee injury and until this season, everyone thought I was an underachieving wuss (including the best guy on my team)
Sorry I might have problems in reading articles and believing in everything they say Master GURU DAzedAndConfused...
Torn his ACL? OMG you're an idiot.

Sorry Master GURU Help me read it again...
I underlined and Highlighted it for MY better understanding...What's my grade MASTER -GURUQ: Why does everyone keep saying I'm definitely coming back next month, and why does everyone keep assuming I'll be the same rebounding/ shotblocking force I was in November and December? Do you realize I'm only 21 and coming off a dislocated kneecap? Do you realize the only exercise I've gotten in the past seven weeks has been lightly jogging in a therapeutic pool? Also, how do you know I'm not 320 pounds right now? How do you know I'm not spending more time at Roscoe's Chicken N' Waffles than Roscoe does? What makes you think I'll be good right away when I have to play myself back into shape? What makes you think I'll have 100 percent confidence in my knee right away?
Remember, I already tore an ACL back in high school, making this my second serious knee injury and until this season, everyone thought I was an underachieving wuss (including the best guy on my team). Sorry to sound like I'm complaining, but all this "And when they get Bynum back, they'll be even better!" talk is starting to make me legitimately uncomfortable. I don't want to be blamed if we fall short in the playoffs. Honestly, I don't even care about the playoffs -- I'll just be excited if I can run up and down a basketball floor without limping. No offense. Whoops, I have to go, the guy just rang the doorbell with my Pizza Hut delivery. --Andrew B., Los Angeles
SG: All great points. If I'm a Lakers fan, I'm terrified by three things right now:
1. Bynum's knee injury happened on Jan. 13 and the Lakers claimed he would return within two months. Um, it's March 5. Where is he? Here's the last public quote we've heard from him, courtesy of an L.A. Times story on Feb. 29: "If I'm able to run in the pool with no pain, then we'll start building my leg up more and more. I'm making progress and I'm excited to actually run in the pool, but I'm still not back." Does that sounds encouraging? I say no.
2. The Lakers can't beat San Antonio in a series with Pau Gasol, Ronnie Turiaf and D.J. Mbenga defending Tim Duncan. It's not happening. They need Bynum -- a healthy Bynum.
3. Removing Bynum from the picture makes Lamar Odom their third-best guy. He's a wonderfully talented forward and a nice guy by all accounts, but if you're counting on him in a big moment, he's going to let you down. He will. I remember attending a Clippers-Lakers game three years ago when Odom came to the line in a big moment, and the guy sitting next to me (a season-ticket holder since '84) muttered confidently something like, "Watch this, he'll miss the first one, we watched him do this for years." And he did. And the guy giggled happily. (Every Clippers fan thinks Odom is a choke artist. Warrants mentioning.) Then he signed with Miami, and if you remember, they made the second round in Wade's rookie season and had the Pacers tied at 2-2 before Odom went 11-for-32 in Games 5 and 6 (both losses). In the first round in 2006, when Kobe and the Lakers dragged Phoenix to a seventh game, Odom and Smush Parker stunk out the joint so badly that Kobe infamously refused to shoot in the second half.
Now he's the third-best guy on a team that's favored to win the 2008 le. Can he step up when he's never shown that ability over the course of his career? In Sunday's ABC game against Dallas, Odom (who only scored six points in 48 minutes) was fouled with a one-point lead and six seconds to play in regulation ... and promptly bricked both free throws. It's not that he missed the free throws as much as anyone who's followed his career even a little knew that he'd miss the first free throw and possibly both. As it turned out, L.A. needed a superhuman performance from Kobe (52 points, 22 in the fourth quarter) to hold off Dallas in overtime. That's the thing everyone seems to be missing about the Lakers -- yeah, they have Kobe and Gasol, but they still need Odom to come through on a big stage, they need their young guards to come through for three straight series (in that Dallas game, Jordan Farmar and Sasha Vujacic shot 4-for-18), and they need Bynum to return to form. Anything less and they're not making the Finals unless Kobe has a neverending supply of 22-point fourth quarters in reserve.
(And by the way, I'm not necessarily ruling that out. Kobe can smell a le now. You can see it. He knows better than anyone that a championship would push him up a level historically and put him alongside the all-time great NBA guards: Oscar, Cousy, West, Magic and MJ. Those are the stakes. Ever since he heard the words, "We got Gasol," he took it to another level. More on this in a little bit.)
To be honest I think Laker fans massively overrate bynum and Spurs fans massively overrate Splitter.
I'm laughing at you because Bynum has never torn his ACL. Bill Simmons did not do his research and neither did you. Go look it up son, Bynum has NEVER torn his ACL.

why is this topic in my forum?
Damn! THEY SHOULD FIRE THAT BILL SIMMONS!
Damn! they should fire Simmons! before he confuses me further...
Um, okay, but collegefanatics, and in particular a journalist named Matt Eagan, seems to think he did:
http://www.collegefanatics.com/board...ad.php?t=12270UConn recruit Andrew Bynum sustained a torn ACL in his right knee and will miss his senior season at St. Joseph's High School in Metuchen, N.J.
Bynum, a 7-foot, 295-pounder who is considered one of the top five high school centers in the nation, was injured during a scrimmage last week. He had an MRI Wednesday.
Bynum is expected to meet with a knee specialist on Long Island today but has not been scheduled for surgery.
"Mentally, he is in pretty good shape," said Bynum's brother, Corey Thomas. "He is in pretty good spirits. The doctors told him that Baron Davis came back from the same injury and came back even stronger."
Thomas said Bynum would begin rehabilitation shortly after the surgery.
That was second on a google search of "Andrew Bynum acl".
Who doesn't do their research again???
Moron.
