As a Celtics’ fan I am supposed to hate the 6ers, which I do, but you guys aren’t supposed to make it so easy.

Totally bad reporting since the cowardly former team mate of Andrew’s was too cowardly to say it loud and proud and take the credit. So I’d ignore the rantings of a total coward and loser like the cowardly whisperer. Philly fans get used to Bynum taking time to heal, learn what us Laker fans did and you won’t be so freaked out. Give Bynum a chance, he’s really a good player, when he’s not injured that is. Even when injured he plays tough when the playoffs are on.

Oh great, let’s write an article about what some nameless gossipy cowardly co-worker says about the guy after he’s gone. How would any of you like to have your career defined by one of these classless idiots?

And he was an immature punk sometimes…especially when he cared so much about winning and he didn’t. Saw him play with fire in his belly many times. He was developing well with great fundamentals. Just doesn’t have a body that’s going to hold up.

Joe Johnson verbally told the fans in Atlanta, on a regular basis, he didn’t care …..Then commenced to go out on the court and show them.

Joe makes more than LBJ and Durant but I watched the game against the lakers the other night and dude played like an unskilled player, coming off the bench who lacks confidence !

As opposed to the #1 or #2 option money he is making.

Based on his Performance and Comments from his own mouth (not rumors like this article) I put Joe at the front of the ” I don’t care about BBall” Special Ed. Class !

It’s not surprising. Something you love as a hobby, you may hate it as a job when it becomes a disciplined and demanding duty.

No offense to any gm but you are going to max him out because he would either make you or break you

Derrick Coleman. You could just see it in his eyes that he never really wanted to be there. That guy could have been an all timer if he liked the game more.

Billy Owens is at the top of the list. The guy had the ability to be another Magic Johnson.

Conversely, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett skipped college and went straight to the NBA at 18, and some might question their maturity, no one can question their passion for the game, and their drive to be the best.

So you can call the person who did the story a source, even though the real source is unnamed.
“Sources with someone extremely close to Woods says he’s struggling.”
Thanks Dan Patrick.

(as a Laker fan)…i’m happy with the time he had in LaLaLand…but i’m cool that he moved on (because we got D12)….hmmm…an analogy would be that ex girlfriend who you partied with and had great times…but eventually dumped…and then started dating the college-grad hottie. hehe…

Kenyon Martin went to college for 4 years and was 23 when he was a rookie, and he acted like a bratty teenager for a decade.

Not saying it is true or it isn’t – have no idea – but guys like Bynum fit the profile of someone who might just play the game because he is supremely physically talented for it and it has always made him a bunch of friends, fans, and money to do it.

There’s people in all walks of life who are good at their jobs but don’t necessarily love them.

I know it doesn’t apply to all players but Bynum sure is an example of how becoming a professional at age 17 really hurt his growth as a person.

Even last year he was still pulling the bratty teenager act of making it clear he didn’t care whenever he was having a terrible game. The guy never learned to take pride in his work because he never learned to respect or appreciate it.

Here we go again with the unnamed source. PLEASE stop with this garbage! If the source will not give his name, do not publish the statement

I’d throw Lamar Odom up against Bynum in a who cares less about basketball contest.

How about a moratorium on reporting or publishing comments made by anonymous sources? If you aren’t willing to own what you say, there’s no reason to believe you.
