Andrew Bynum Is A Bad Man
In case you missed it, check out Andrew Bynum’s hip check on Gerald Wallace that sent him to a Los Angeles hospital, possibly with a collapsed lung and fractured rib. Bynum wasn’t kidding when he said he will not be dunked on.
Should Bynum be suspended for this?

If that was Shaq he would have been thrown out of the game..Was the are phuckin flagrant called? Clean rep or not that was a dirty play….too bad none of the Wallace’s teammates got in Bynums face,back up your boy shit man!FIRST

Drink the Haterade (KB24 Chip 09) says:
There was a flagrant 1 called on this and no he shouldn’t be suspended, fined yes, but not suspended and to all the haters he did have his fourth consecutive double double last night… Where is Greg Oden?

he should… intentional or not… crash got KO’d…

fallinup (Black Dynamite = Best Movie Evar!) says:
Oh yeah, he’s gonna get at least a game for that. There was no play on the ball, just a hip check. I will say though, DAMN! I love it! You know damn well Bynum’s not doing this on his own, Jackson is telling him to not allow any dunks at all. Jackson was a bruiser himself back in the day. And he’s said before that the Lakers got out beasted in the Finals and the team has to get tougher. Kind of a dirty way to do it, but damn…I miss it so.
And if that foul was committed on anyone other that Gerald “Glass Joe” Wallace. It would have looked at least 2X less harsh. haha

Yeah, suspend him!!! You can hear G-Wallace groaning in pain. And if G Wallace misses time that is another player injured in my fantasy squad.

Big North says:
Far from me to hate, but if not getting dunked on is his only motivation for that play (elbow to the chest AND undercutting AT THE SAME TIME) his ass needs to get suspended. Now someone is in the hospital cuz your ass dun trip. Possible collapsed lung man, that aint no joke. I’m all about a hard foul, but at this level you gotta know how to send out the message without causing any type of bodily harm let alone broken ribs. He’ll learn (still young) not saying he meant to do it but the severity alone warrants a suspension.

addy says:
i also love how bynum’s playin it tough, i loved how back in the 90s big players would either go for the shot block or mug a guy for trying to get to the rim, too many players now have vaginas and run out of the way as soon as somebody drives to the rim, especially on the soft as a pillow raptors

Unbelievable…how can he do that to a player…
so dirty, just imagine if you are Wallace in that situation

It was a brutal foul, I winced listening to Wallace groan after he hit the floor, it was a HARD foul,
I like to see Drew assert himself, but hate seeing someone like Crash get hurt,

Yeah so i guess that’s why they call him crash.

it was a hard foul, but a collapsed lung… for real? that sounds way too severe for that kinda impact, but I’m watching this video on a computer with no sound so I’m not hearing those painful groans.
and Yeah, he should get a game or two for that nonsense

The point is,he didn’t have to foul him like that.Just lazy and malicious.He wasn’t fouling any Celtics like that.

yeah, he should get suspended. That would garner a suspension on anyone that isn’t a Laker… I like the fact that he doesn’t want to get dunked on, but an elbow to the rib is just mean…

He’s a bitch, learn to play basketball and actually try and block a shot. Lets see him try that trash against the Celtics on Paul Pierce or something, he’d end up on the floor so fast is wouldnt ever be funny.

doc (i like kobe AND bron) says:
I like it.I seen worse on them 80’s highlights and dudes wouldnt even get techs.He wouldnt have did it if Charlotte wasnt a team full of pussies.Who punched him in the mouth or even told him that was wrong forcefully.Not a godamn soul so fuck the Bobcats and that Crash bandicoot looking motherfucker.

SWAT says:
man if dude doesnt wanna get dunked on then try an block the damn shot…this isnt hockey son. no hipchecks. and i agree w/ post 1, no one even mugged stupid bynum. damn make an angry face at him or something. at the very least dude should have got shoved or damn just big face him.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:34 am
Ric Hardwood says:
I know back in the 80’s that hit would be nothing but a foul but, players are a lot stronger now and those elbows and hip checks are a lot more painful…

I don’t think it was malicious if it was it would have been a flagrant 2… And
“He’s a bitch, learn to play basketball and actually try and block a shot. Lets see him try that trash against the Celtics on Paul Pierce or something, he’d end up on the floor so fast is wouldn’t ever be funny.
First off all KG is the biggest bitch always pickin on guys his own size and he did get punked be ZAZA in the playoffs last year, So please tell me who?

control says:
That was a bullshit play, Bynum should get a game or two for that at least. Kid is getting the Perkins attitude…has a few good games in a row and starts acting like a fucking bitch. I hope someone busts him right in the fucking mouth.
If that were Shaq, he would have been tossed (and Gerald would be dead). If that were almost anyone else, other than Dwade (Gerald would have been hit with a charge if it were Dwade)…they would have been tossed, not sure what the fucking refs are thinking.
The whole team of the Bobcats are bitches. They didn’t even come to Wallace to see if he was aight, they just let him roll around groaning. Not one of the Bobcats got in Bynum’s face to let him know he shouldn’t fuck around like that. If I were Gerald, I’d be pissed at my team, almost to the point where I’d demand a trade.

Bynum is proving to be a real bitch. If you don’t want to get dunked on than stop them like a man. He is taking the cowards way out by hard fouling, and in this case cheap shotting, everyone who goes for the dunk. Getting dunked on is not the worst thing ever, especially if the alternative is sending a player to the hospital to save you from a 5 second clip on sportscenter which can be redeemed with your own dunk. LITTLE BITCH
January 28th, 2009 at 11:54 am
Lakers says:
It was a dirty foul but there was no malicious intent there. I think the flagrant I was deserved but suspending him will just make the NBA more sissy than it has already become…By the way to all these people saying he sucks and he should learn to block a shot instead… maybe look at the box score.. bynum had 6 blocks on the night.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:55 am
Kudabeen says:
Didn’t look that bad to me. Why is Wallace taking off that earlier anyway with a man between him and the ball? Shouldn’t be a suspension. Wallace raised up way early and you can plan for that. I don’t see how Bynum is being called dirty and all this…
This new softer brand of BBall is lame and hard to watch…Defenders get no slack and offensive players force the contact. He jumped in hard and caught a elbow…tough break. Next time take another dribble and really attack the basket and not the defender, then you might not get laid out…
January 28th, 2009 at 11:59 am
LaMont says:
All you throwback talkers need to remember not too long ago Zo Mourning challenged everything like a true cneter and shotblocker was supposed to. Though he got dunked on, he still blocked the shot many more times than he got dunked on. Basketball privileges should be revoked for all the punks that talk that “it ain’t gonna happen to me” stuff. If it hasn’t been done to you yet then you haven’t been playing the game long enough or you haven’t played against real competition. If you not gonna get dunked on then block everything. Especially this punk azz kid, that’s what’s wrong with America, kids trying to be tough by doing punk stuff then crying “I’m just a kid” when grown folk check them. No way he does this type stuff when Kevin Willis, C. Oakley, X-Man and even Mase in yo’ face was playing. Think Big Wes Unseld would tolerate Bynum fouling him like that? That wasn’t a hard foul that was some i’m gonna try and be slick and “F” this dude up type move. Why are bigs such as Bynum and Garnett targeting smaller players. If he does that against Amare or Shaq next time they play the Suns, I’ll take back everything I said about him.
January 28th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
I'm juss sayin says:
Kudabeen….are you fuckin crazy….Wallace got ups and he was in the air when Bynum cheapshoted him…SOFTER BBALL? Taking off well within his flight range is playin hard…Getting dunked on happens to every big man..It comes with the territory! If he does get suspended it will not prove the league to be pussy but prove that PUSSY PLAYERS makinf PUSSY-BITCHMADE PLAYS won’t be tolerated…Get your head outta the sand…didn’t look bad? Aiight buddy!
January 28th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
Kyle says:
This would have been a regular foul back in teh 80’s. Just like when the Celtics clotheslined Kurt Rambis.

I applaud Bynum - there are too many soft players in the NBA now. That was a Charles Oakley type check, and I loved it. Stay out of Bynum’s house or pay the consequences.

fallinup (Black Dynamite = Best Movie Evar!) says:
@ 37
Don’t get me started on this Pussy League.
If anyone so much as breathed wrong on Wallace on his way to the basket there would have been a friggin foul call. That’s PUSSY.
The fact that everyone is flipping out about how “dirty” Bynum is, is plain PUSSY for forgetting how run of the mill that hard foul actually was.
And the fact that none of the Cats stood up to Bynum…proves once again at how PUSSY the league is now because you know damn well if they would have got in his face, they’d probably be facing a PUSSY ass suspension as well.
January 28th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
I'm juss sayin says:
@40…Your point is what? When someone goe the the FUCKIN HOSPITAL is that run of the mill? This is not hockey OR FOOTBALL!Yeah the league is changing rules and makin it more of a show BUT people jump INTO Shaq the biggest strongest in the NBA and he gets flagrants….So with the precedent being set that was a suspendable play…STOP TALKING ABOUT THE 80′S its 2009. Sending dudes to the hospital with a collapsed lung(you can die from that)is not good basketball…Its “I’M BIGGER THEN YOU SO TAKE IT!” PUSSY SHIT!
January 28th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
banga says:
If Bynum didn’t elbow him then NO suspension
but since he through and elbow when a player is vunerable i thikn it warrants a suspension…
If this was the old school nba no one would even care
January 28th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
SWAT says:
6 blocks but dude couldnt move his feet fast enough to beat wallace to the spot…he could have at least made an attempt on the ball. and yall cats need to get with the times…the league has changed so deal it. miss me with all this “in my day this and or in my day that” it’s changed, for the better or for the worse it’s not your day anymore.
January 28th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
JoeCozi says:
that was a hella dirty play!!!…didn’t make a play at the ball he went straight to the body with a bow to the ribs and a undercut hip check….them is fighting moves if wallace wouldn’t have been hurt so bad i think he would have got up and swung on bynum for that dirtly play…
January 28th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
Scott says:
I love it as well. It was a hard foul, and it reminds me of how REAL Centers are supposed to act. Takes me back to those beloved 90’s, when men played basketball and toughed shit out, I echo the sentiments of others here, the L has gotten waaay too soft in general. I bet Oakley smiled when he saw this clip. And NO not because Wallace was injured, but that Bynum gave the hard foul. Hell, I bet Riley smiled too, you know he loves that shit.
January 28th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
rlf says:
andrew is a good kid, he didn’t mean any harm to him. if you noticed he leaned over to see if he was ok.
don’t make a big deal, andrew just pushed him, but since he’s so strong and wallace so weak(i’m sorry, he’s always taken to the hospital for things like this, he doesn’t know how to fall ‘right’) he fell hard. andrew meant nothing by it.
anyways, weren’t all of you saying the lakers were ‘not tough enough’ wasn’t that the knock on them? that they didn’t have an ‘enforcer’ in the middle? now they sort of do(because andrew is not an enforcer) and you guys are calling him a ‘bad man’ and he should be suspended. why?
January 28th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
I'm juss sayin says:
The vast majority agree it was dirty…One question, if the same thing happened to the NBA’s golden child LEBRON what would everyone say? What would the league say? When an elite player has it done to them everyone wil be saying the league has to protect its players…Peace out y’all

@ 41
Haha, when PUSSY ass gerald wallace gets hurt…thats run of the mill. And like I said before, Bynum will get suspended. And it would have looked 2X less harsh if it wasn’t Wallace’s ass getting fouled.
My point is…with these rule changes. We’ve seen Dallas get punked out of a title by the exploitation of these rule changes. Defenses not being able to play actual defense because they arn’t allowed to lay a finger on anyone with a decent drive. WHICH IS PUSSY.
And I can pretty much bet. That if teams were allowed to play some real defense. Bynum wouldn’t have had to do Wallace like that anyway because slashers and scorers don’t have such a green light to drive to the basket.
I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again. Players in this generation have padded stats because of these rule changes. Fuck upping team scoring averages…stop giving the advantage to the slasher and let teams play some real fucking defense.
Like in the 80’s and 90’s.

kevin k says:
you can tell by the comments that most of these guys are either 15 years old or/and have never watched basketballs during the 80s to mid 90s or calls every ticky fouls when they play in a open gym…
It’s unfortunate that GWallace got hurt but this kind of fouls were common before the NBA became a me first crybaby league. Plus you can say he didn’t go for the ball, but he clearly wasn’t trying to hurt him… AB just got there late and if he extended that arm, he would have him on the face instead… And GWallace’s nickname is CRASH and there is a reason. Foo plays crazy and he gets hurt all the time. Get better soon Crash and hope it’s not too serious.

Sanpitch says:
suspend him.
karl malone got suspended 2 games for trying to block isiah (golden boy) thomas and instead gave him an elbow to the eyebrow. split zeke’s skin and malone got suspended. at least i think it was 2 games. i am going off memory, so if someone wants to look that up.
bunch of other cats in the league are getting suspended for what appears to be less.
what a d-bag!
actually i kind of like the toughness, just use your head about it.
it’ll be interesting to see what the league does with their most hyped player from their most hyped team.
January 28th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Big Shot BOB says:
Yeah the league is pussy now. I liked it back in the days when a player could send a message to the other team that it’s not going to happen in the paint not today. Like them bad boys used to do. I remember Jordan getting put on his ass a couple times and he still fought through and won championships. Or when the Knicks would have brawls with the Heat. That was a real mans game. In fact I think the farther back you go in time the tougher the player was. Maybe in 15 years you won’t even be able to touch the opposing player wihtout getting a T.
January 28th, 2009 at 12:42 pm

you laker fans are full of shit i personally dont care what they do to bynum but yall here sayin its just a flagrant no suspension would be sayin something else if bowen or artest did that shit.

Powerslave says:
^^Bynum made absolutely NO attempt at the ball and flung his shoulder/arm/forearm/elbow into Wallace while he was in mid-air and then rolled him off his shoulder and pushed off with his arm. He wasn’t even looking at the ball, nor trying to stop it.
January 28th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Drink the Haterade (KB24 Chip 09) says:
@ 51 the most hyped players are Lebron and Greg Oden
January 28th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Sanpitch says:
i don’t want to hear that bynum didn’t know what he was doing. anyone that plays knows that if you hit a cat at that angle while he is airborn something bad will happen.
i like the toughness and wish more guys had the balls, but guys are getting suspended for what appears to be less. so he’s got to be suspended. i don’t like it, but you got to be fair about it.
i wish more guys would throw the elbows when they get a rebound. i’ve seen guys get techs for getting a rebound and holding the ball under their chin with elbows out (like we all were taught) and turning. if you get an elbow to the grill it’s your own damn fault.
the league has become soft but under the “softness” that is the nba, cat needs to get suspended.
January 28th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
BEdger says:
@Drink the Haterade (KB24 Chip 09) - Greg Oden is in PDX and over his last 4 games is averaging 17pts and 11rebs, not bad for a rookie

@55
disagree big time. have you ever seen a guy who averages 13.9 ppg and 8.2 rpg get more pub than bynum?
dime can’t go 2 days without saying something about bynum. i swear they smell his jock after every game.
i am sick of hearing about lebron, but he is playing at an mvp level so he won’t be able to fart without it being reported.
January 28th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
Ric Hardwood says:
I read all these comments and I still don’t think Bynum’s a dirty player, but that was a dirty play (little frustration? Maybe)… if the elbow didn’t catch Crash, the hip would’ve taken his legs out… I know Crash gets hurt all the time but anyone can get hurt with that kind of a foul… if Kobe was caught by an elbw to the ribs or a hip undercut, all these Laker fans would be calling for the guy’s head… suspend Bynum 2 games… nuff said…

GEE..."I saw you and him, walkin in the raaaiiin!" says:
Yea suspend dude for that. He wasn’t even making a play on the ball. He (Bynum) didn’t even jump. I mean to meet in mid -air and collide on him trying to swat the ball then that is ok.
To just foul like that ain’t cool. For that matter he could have just walked up to dude and punched him in the grill when he didn’t even have the ball. Cause he wasn’t trying to defend he was trying to hurt.
Extra shame on Crash’s teammates for not getting in Bynum’s grill or at least Melo-ing that cat. No respect for Bynum on that although I am enjoying his toughness. He will learn and I do think eventually he will get dunked on. I don’t think Bynum is a dirty player but come on you gotta go for the ball.
LOL at images of LA and Cleveland and Bynum foulin the crap out of Bron on every drive.

LakeShow84 says:
I dont care if he gets suspended or not..
I just hope he keeps it up.. like i said im tired of seeing little guys running into the paint LOOKING for contact against guys twice their size and not being afraid because the league has made big men into pansies.. Guards should have to think twice about just throwing themselves into the paint..
It was a dirty play but Wallace acted like he was going to dunk it from the FT and he KNEW Bynum wasnt that far away.. come on now.. he went in for the contact and found more than he should have..
Suspend him or not.. this shit needs to happen more.. we play harder on the blacktops nowadays..

Course most cats don’t have a problem with it till it’s their favorite player getting the lungs hurt and what not.
Dummies.
If that foul is ok then there is justification for guys who come to the gym or play in the pick-up game who don’t know how to play D, and just constantly hack and are so called D-ing you up when you don’t even have the ball.
It was a dumb foul, suspend him 5 games and keep it moving. Supporting that ish is stupid. Don’t compare that mess to the old days. Old day cats were smart with theirs. This was just iggnant. I like the Lakers but for that, the Lakers deserve to lose that game and I am glad they did.
Somebody shoulda punched Bynum in the grill and said my bad I was just fouling you. Dummies.

Didn’t look that bad to me. He was trying to put his hands up and the contact was made before he could get full extension, therefore the contact was made on Wallace’s chest. He didn’t shove him in the air or try to take out his legs. He was attempt to put his arms up and the contact was made early.
January 28th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
LakeShow84 says:
Yo Ian
It does make sense.. For everyone on here who is saying it is a collapsed lung they took him to the hospital as a PRECAUTION.. all xrays were negative..
And in my own tough defense i did actually play through a fractured rib once for a good 10 minutes before i realized my breathing wasnt so sharp.. had an earing stud jammed inside my ear lobe while hoopin and didnt realize it until the next morning at school and played with a sprained shoulder on my shooting side a couple of times..
And it does make sense because players WERE NOT taken to the hospital back then nearly as much now.. EVEN AllStars.. Ever hear the Grant Hill detached ankle story?? how long did he play on that before ANYONE knew anything??
But i am from the ghetto.. we dont go to the hospital unless we get shot.. and it cant be a by a DeuceDeuce..

I have no problem with hard fouls when you’re at least attempting to go for the ball. In fact, I wish it happened more often. But Bynum’s play was cheap and dirty. No attempt whatsoever to even make it look like he was going for the ball. He’ll be suspended and the question is for how long.

Per ESPN:
Wallace was diagnosed as having between 30 and 40 percent of his left lung collapsed and a non-displaced fracture of the fifth rib after being examined at a Los Angeles hospital. He had a chest tube inserted to help restore the lung to functional capacity, but will remain hospitalized for the next 48 hours for observation, the team said.
You got knocked the FUCK out! Seriously though, betcha Bynum gets suspended after hearing his results. Doesn’t sound like crash will be crashing anytime soon.

Yeah, it looks like a blatant attempt to stop the drive with no play intended to be made on the ball whatsoever. That should be a flagrant 2, ejection, and suspension.

Bron42 aka Haters drink my bath water says:
As someone who had a cracked rib and seperated shoulder in collage against utah on this sameeeee kinda shit, i gotta say it was a legit hard foul but still falls under the dirty move area
1) to say wallace jumped from too far is retarded…if you can dunk, then you just from wherever the hell you feel like. If crash was a big name star and this happened bynum would be gettin the ron artest treatment. Hell if he did that to lebron…lakers fans would love it but anyone outside of LA would be sayin how bynum should be banned from basketball. If a dude jumps far, its your job as a defender to a)jump with him and just draw body contact tryin to block it or b) take a charge. Not pull his hand down and choke slam him. If that was the case, Zo would of LEVELED vince back in the day but Zo had some class.
2)bynum didn’t even go for the ball, he hit him with a fuckin judo flip lol if someone grabs your arm AND sticks out their hips at your legs while your already in the air theres nothing accidental about it. Cuz even most big guys like shaq who do hit you with a hard foul, they hit you so you don’t make it but they’ll at least try to catch you in the air.
3)lakers still lost so who gives a damn how tough bynum wants to ACT (hes still a bitch and has been a bitch since his jersey st.joes days) and no big man in the league is gonna be worried about him.
4) just like i said after chase budinger got curb stomped, the foul itself sucks and was real fucked up, but what was even more fucked up was how NONE of the bobcats did shit. Now i’m not expectin adam morrison to hit someone with a chair but at least back ya dude up and get in bynums face..jesus…you think if someone took out ray allen in the air, pierece and KG wouldn’t be up on him? Think mo williams and ben wallace wouldn’t stick up for lebron? To all you “oh in the 80s” guys, don’t you remember pippen and grant and oakley gettin in peoples faces durin the jordan rules days? I kno crash is a B-list superstar but damn, okarfor where you at?
The NBA needs to keep their standards and not treat people different like they do….we already seen shaq get suspended for stuff lighter than this, so bynum needs to get suspended too. And stop with the 80s shit, its not the 80s, ya guys are soft now days but gettin your legs taken out in the air is a dick move period and can end careers.

LakeShow84 says:
If you can dunk you can jump from wherever you feel like?? nah that shit was retarded.. Im sorry if there is a man manning up the pain you dont “jump from whereever you want” and act like someone is going to get out your way just because.. And he didnt pull his arm down (big fish story i guess) and he didnt even hit him above the chest.. get your shit straight before you right a novel..
and is that how u play?? you’d get your shit cleaned doing that on ANY court that got real hoop MEN.. Whether ur Bron or not..
Well if your Bron you could probably jump over most but still..

Kudabeen says:
I’m tired cats…
If a strong 7ft cat is in the lane and you are taking off that far…What do you think is going to happen…Are we saying Bynum undercut him? Bynum was just there cutting off the drive…
Bynum got caught and was slow to react. IMO Bynum thought, like I did first watching, that Wallace was going to take another dribble, but Wallace left his feet…Bynum didn’t extend his arms, he didn’t slam him down. Bynum just had his arms up.
Bynum was slow to react and Wallace took a gamble and crapped out…Done…People lying and making more out of it then what it was…Bynum didn’t slam him. The pain came from Wallace’s rib was caught by Bynum’s elbow.
Fag ass cats posting on here crying for another man’s pain, then talk about someone else being pussy and retarded…Be easy.
It was a tough play. Bynum got a flagrant. Mr. Glass…I mean…Crash just caught a rough break…he is on his way to 6 blocks in the game, so why talk like he doesn’t go for blocks…He isn’t Yao out there trying to take charges…Come on.
I’m more in agreement with post 82 then these other lame post about how malicious the foul was…IF people were being honest they’d see in real time it was just bad timing by Bynum cutting off the drive and reacting and a bad break by Wallace who gambled by leaving his feet that far out…
For the record the argument that Wallace takes off to far out isn’t to say that he can’t or he isn’t capable of that kind of flight…Clearly he is capable. BUT when you are driving and you see a 7 footer not named Weis is in your path you don’t throw your body at him like that without risk. Wallace takes another dribble he gets to the line and saves himself an injury, but none of that matters. It wasn’t a dirty play, just a bad play….His team didn’t get upset, because it wasn’t malicious. If Bynum pushes him down or glares at him, then cool, be mad, but that wasn’t the case. I watched dozens of times.
I put this in the same category of this new found hate for Garnett and his “antics”…If you can’t hate one thing you find another…get over it…His name is Crash for a reason. He tossed his body and harms way and caught a bad break…it happens. It wasn’t as bad as the Shaq play earlier this year on Lowry or Westbrook (i forget)…now that was bad…
January 28th, 2009 at 3:58 pm

And Bynum didnt really touch the court as a rookie..
But neither did Greg Oden.. the big bad bed took him out his rookie season if im not mistaken..

fatty says:
way to far to take off from?!?! From the inner-hash, hes gerald walace, the same person who did this - (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbsTNsZ2j4k) a while back. He had an open lane and he was about to smash. i understand hard fouls, but bynum is
1 not even jumping - feet clearly on the ground.
2 not even fully facing him at the time
3 should not be consumed with personal pride, muchizmo B.S. “im sending a message, im gonna be tough.” Your an NBA center; your gonna get dunked on eventually (vince on zo, KJ on hakeem, and yes, even bynum on shaq), and if you dont your not getting pt.
4 bynum throws an elbow, and at the same time puts his feet out, so that even if wallace wasnt jumping he would have gotten tripped (see 51 - 52 look at the feet placement of bynum)
He clearly wasnt thinking about the repercussions or just didnt care. you can seriously hurt someone (which he did) with that type of recklessness. And all you “back in my day” crap, it used to be uncalled for to dribble between your legs, guys are high flying now by today compared to yesterdays standards; the game has changed so get over it.
verdict at least a 2 game suspension.
if that were kobe people would be up in arms over this but since its a guy who has a history of going hard its no biggie.

In the NBA that exists today Bynum probably will get suspended. I don’t think this was an issue of a dirty play. I think Bynum just got caught and wasn’t trying to let Crash get to the basket. Personally, I like the fact he is playing mad physical. I don’t like the fact someone got hurt though. Back in the days though that’s just a flagrant foul at worst. Next time Bunum should make a play on the ball.

The buffoonery is amazing: when The Lakers lose to Celtics i nthe Finals everyone says they lost because they not tough enough, they get Bynum back get tough, then their too tough. Kobe doesnt make players around him better,cat goes for 3 doubles 2 over 3 days and due gets critisized because now he is not being aggressive and letting his teammates do the work. I mean Dayum, what do the Lakers have to do to make it right for you buffoon’s, oh nothing, they will never et acknowledgement because you Haters hate Kobe and Phil because of their dominance and you just salivate thinking when will dwade or LB over take Kobe as the best player. (Not that dwade and LB dont have an arguement for it(CP3 as well) but the whole things is AB is gdoing what he is taught as a player. You are the center, dont let anyone dunk on you since thhey got 22 points in the paint out of their first 24 points in the same game. Hell nah, AB aint letting nobody dunk on him at that point because he is the Lakers enforcer. PG aint gonna do it, LO aint gonna do it, Kobe or DF might but really how big are they to be enforecers so AB did what he is suppose to do. In my house aint no dunks and if you try to dunk then your challanging me in my home and F dat. If I came in your house and tried to disrespect you, you aint listening to what is politically correct, Bitch, I am beating you ass so if you think about acting up in my crib ever again, that hit will be in you mind and it will definatly be in Crashes mind next time they play the Lakers. That’s part of the gamme in the game. Intimidation breeds success on the B-Ball court. DOnmt think so just go back to MJ. He prided himself on dunking on cats in their crib and dared them to try and stop him. He never got a bust lung from a at the most hard foul. So shut da f up talking bout the Lakers and lets just see what happens. I hope he does the same thing to KG and PP andI dared them to try and go after him. If they do that to DF or TA or JF, you think Kobizy wont go smack the shit outta someone. Thats what tough is all about, hard fouls and intimidation. If you dont realize that then explain how KG can run all the way up court in Calderon’s face talking shit and not even the refs say anything.

Is that the new thing now?
So start blaming accidents on the person driving correctly and not the drunk driver swerving?
So like with 9/11 we should blame the people in the building who died for being there, and not the terrorist?
It doesn’t matter how many times you watch it, you need only to see it once to know what Bynum did was wrong hands down.
Cats kill me trying to be super tough and hard on here. Then actually have the nerve to try to get at dudes who care or are concerned for someone’s well being, like they soft. They ain’t soft, they are just not being a prick!
It ain’t no Bynum got caught off guard, it ain’t no Crash was too far out, it ain’t no Gerald needs to play through pain. It was Bynum with poor decision making. I don’t think there was malice when he did it, just really stupid.
You don’t possibly end a career or put a dude in the hospital cause you that “intent” on stopping him. And if you that &$#@! clumsy that you can’t foul a dude without hurting him then just move. He had more than enough time to get ready to take a charge or jump up and challenge, when he saw Gerald get past Kobe to drive.
Stupid play and suspend him 5 to 10.

You are way off base Gee..
Way way way off base..
but as far as you making it sound like Bynum had enough time to actually do something legit.. more than enough time is not when a defender gets beat 6-7 feet away from you and you have to react.. These are world class athletes and you never have enough time to react.. its all instinct.. thats why you shoot thousands of shots a day.. to make it instinct not to think “well i got this man jumping in my face, which release should i work wit??”
this aint even worth talkin about anymore.. Everyone who ever called us soft is softer than cotton candy for acting like something horrific happened here.. it was an accident and they happen in profressional sports.. now people are saying AB almost and/or TRIED to end Crash’s career?? talkin bout 9/11 and Drunk driving??
Yeah peace out chumps..

LakeShow84 I don’t know what type of ball you play, but in most areas pro or otherwise you do have enough time in a situation like that to react.
Sports is based off of reaction and instinct. The vid clearly shows that dude even had enough time to leave the man he was covering to try to get in the lane for what could have easily been him trying to take a charge or jump up for the block.
To stand there and just take dude down was corny and stupid. It might have been a mistake but it could have been avoided with quick thought. Dude clearly had a case of constipation of the brain.
As far and 9/11 and drunk driving clearly you didn’t put enough “thought” into how situations were related as to people blaming Wallace for injuring himself. Perhaps you are typing this on “instinct” lol.

the nba is starting to make basketball into fucking baseball. any contact at all and youre out of the game. what the hell? when did pussies start playing the game? look what happened to crash was unfortunate, hell, it was terrible, but you really think AB tried to do that shit? the thing with intentional fouls is that they are INTENTIONAL. Bynum was not trying to collapse wallace’s lung or break his rib. Shit happens man, i bet wallace didnt think that was a dirty foul.
I hate it when dudes playin ball get pissed when they get hurt by something somebody did UNintentionally. be a fucking adult. yeah it sucks that wallace got so badly injured, but hell lets keep in mind that the closeline/tackle kevin mchale had on rambis back in the day warranted mchale only ONE REGULAR PERSONAL FOUL. no fine, no suspension. if that happened today mchale would be suspended for the rest of the season. Fuckers need to start looking at the context and actual intent of the play, not just consequences of it.
Everyones talking like bynum was standing there thinking to himself “im gonna punch wallace right in the face and collapse his lung.” Hell no! sure he hit wallace in the chest and hip bumped him, but was there any INTENT as in INTENTIONAL FOUL? No. There was none. get over it, basketball is a contact sport. get some balls.

If Bynum dont wanna get dunked on he should play on the perimeter. There isn’t one center in the league that has never been dunked on. All the great shot blockers have gotten dunked on. Just like all the superstars have at one time or another bricked the last shot of the game. Shit happens. But for this loser to be cut blocking Lebron, then a cheap shot on Gerald Wallace, he truly is a bitch nigga.

NOT ONCE did I see Bynum go over to Wallace to see how he was. He didn’t give a damn. And this was not just some random flagrant one foul….the guy has a COLLAPSED lung. And THAT could kill a person. Dirk Nowitzki got a flagrant one and a one game suspension for hitting Matt Harpring in the face…and Harpring wasn’t the least bit hurt. Bynum should be suspended. For more than one game too. And fined. What a cheap shot! And Wallace could possibly be out for the rest of the season. I think Bynum should be sittin on his ass at home for several games also. If he doesn’t get suspended, then this game truly is a joke.

Hey, Jugs from Timbuktu says:
hey hey jugs here greetings from timbuktu and the bronx
i dont know what the heck are you guys freaking out about but all i can see is it was a bad play, no intention to injure a player, just doing his job to stop someone from attacking the basket. post #95 said it best
and dont be foolish, would anyone without foresight know that the foul would result in a collaped lung? broken ribs, maybe and highly, but i didnt see a single post here saying that the injury might have been a subsequent effect of crash crash landing body 1st into the floor. now dont blame that on bynum because i have seen highflyers since the 80 sky to the hoop and get fouled hardly i recall anyone collapsing a lung.
the foul was hard, yes yes but blame the injury to crash and his bird bones as they say above. also agree that bynum is becoming the rodman / enforcer to this team.
true jugs dont break ribs and collapse lungs

Lakers Fans=Douche bags who know nothing about basketball and cream every time the word “Kobe” is brought up.
Btw. Gerald had FOURTY FUCKING PERCENT of his lung collapsed
I guess that’s what you gotta do when you try and shed the bust label and doesn’t work. You scored 42 points on the clippers.. BIG FUCKING WHOOP you did a really good job givin the business to a second round rook (DeAndre) and a journeyman (skinner)

all i am saying is that players need to be suspended and fined when there is INTENT in their actions: rodman kicking a cameraman in the balls, melo punching mardy collins and running away, zo flippin pj brown over his back, kobe and reggie punching each other. i am all for disciplinary actions against those things. but when a player get fouled hard in the air and ACCIDENTALLY gets hurt? thats just part of the game. what happens if crash hadnt gotten hurt at all? nothing. just a hard foul. bynum WAS NOT TRYING TO HURT WALLACE. bottom line. the difference between a hard foul and a dirty foul is whether or not you are trying to FOUL someone, or HURT someone. once again, its the intent in the play, all im saying.
just because wallace got as injured as he did doesnt make bynum a bad man or that a dirty play, he didnt know he was going to hurt wallace that bad.
all the posts that emphasis wallace’s injuries as a reason to suspend bynum are fucking retarded. so youre saying we wait to see the consequences of every play to see whether or not to suspend somebody? if a guy goes up for a dunk and gets blocked and comes down and breaks his ankle, do we suspend the dude that blocked him? he wouldnt have broken his ankle if he hadnt been blocked.
look here it is: crash getting hurt that bad is horrible and unfortunate for him and his team, bynum had no intent on trying to hurt wallace, bynum should be left alone and everybody needs to stop making basketball a non-contact sport.

you think rambis couldnt have gotten hurt with the 6′10″ mchale running him the fuck over after he took off? that play could have ended just as badly as the bynum/wallace one. and what was the mchale play called? a good, hard foul in a playoff game proving that there wont be any easy buckets.

Grand kid says:
How is it not a dirty play when Bynum openly says he’ll make sure he doesn’t get dunked on and then comes up with 2 ugly plays that involve contact that could have been avoided had he just walked away instead of into Lebron and Gerald?
How can you argue that he aint do what he did for the one and only reason that he doesn’t want to be dunked on?
And FUCK MCHALE AND RAMBIS, is this 19 fucking 80 ? Did they play zone back then? Obviously the game is different now, so why the fuck are we talking about rules from 20 years ago? Only a stupid ma’fucka would compare shit 2 decades apart. I wanna see a dumb fuck argue that the game is still the same as it was then, do it.
Bynum should get suspended, and only stupid ma’fuckas with a hard on for the Lakers would disagree with the bullshit reasoning i’ve heard up to now.
And like I said before, you bitches would crying the part had Kobe gotten hurt like that, out for weeks and maybe the season. But then you bitches would be telling everyone how yall would have won the chip had Kobe not been hurt.
Hypocrites.

@danocasa
here is a crappy anecdote
if a 19 year old goes out to a party gets drunk with his friends, drives home, swerves and kills someone while under the influence. The law would punish him even though the kid had no bad intentions, maybe they wouldn’t be as harsh. Sure the kid wasn’t trying to hurt anyone but his actions are what they are, a foolish mistake that he should be punished for committing
not sure if that is relevant, but i think it highlights my stance on what happened
