    Pretty sure Black Mamba is the one who got grounded by his parents because he got a 3.8 instead of a 4.0 or some shit. :tsktsk::tsktsk::tsktsk:

    Bynum is a better scorer. They are comparable rebounders. Oden's slight edge on defense is negated by fouls. Both players have a bad injury history, but at least when Bynum is healthy he plays.

    And can we please put to rest the whole "Bynum plays more minutes/Bynum has played more games" arguments? Those are things in Bynum's *favor*, and people are using them to discredit him?

    I was agreeing with me being a douche. I mean, total internet douche!

    However, Bynum is a lot more seasoned than Oden and this season has proven to be a far better player than Oden. They actually don't deserve to be in the same category right now. Until Oden can prove himself over at least a good stretch of games like Bynum has in the past, they aren't comparable. The only thing with both of them that is an equal is injuries. However, when healthy, Bynum has proven to be the more explosive and higher impact player.

    BTW, you forgot your signature.

    I had composed some more stuff, but once I posted I saw that you'd since owned up to the way you were acting, so I replaced my stuff with dots to take the quick high road out... I didn't think of signing that.

    Bynum is actually well ahead of Greg, in games played and injuries. Greg's setbacks are not thought to have much if any bearing on his athletic future. Thats why doctors opt for the MF surgery over recarving the cartilage. His wrist is as much of a concern as much as his removed tonsils. Unfortunately for basketball fans, the same can't be said for Andrew's knees. Knocked kneed with loose stretched out tendons, and having gone under the knife for torn ACLs multiple times just 4 seasons in, will he ever prove to be able to handle a full season of starter minutes? How much short will his career be cut?

    I enjoyed a good laugh at your claim that Bynum has been proven to be more explosive then Greg... thanks for that

    Anyways, glad to discuss hoops with you... so much nicer then just derisive name calling

    IIRC, Bynum's only torn his ACL once in HS?

    I don't think Oden has ever been better than Vagynum. I think he will be at some point though.
