Bynum's problem is all mental. Back at the beginning of the 08 season, he was a monster on defense. I mean DPOY candidate monster, while still doing his thing on offense. But THEN, everybody started drinking his milkshake and talking like he was the best thing since sliced bread, and all of a sudden he thought he was Olajuwon.
Then he got his big contract and decided he wanted to be an allstar and wa- in-la, all of his focus has shifted to offense and the defensive mindset he had that year is puff poof gone. I dont know how its possible for a guy to get worse fundamentally as he grows as a player, but he's done it. I'd take 08 Bynum over this guy any day.
