Plaschke: Bynum suffers from 'a disability of maturity'

This week's photos of Lakers center Andrew Bynum parking in a disabled spot weren't the first time he's been caught. "A couple of months ago, Times columnist T.J. Simers stopped fawning over Bynum long enough to write about an emailed photo from a reader who claimed the image was of Bynum's sports car parked in a handicapped spot at a Playa del Rey bank," writes the LAT columnist Bill Plaschke. There also was the incident in the playoffs where Bynum took down a Dallas player with a cheap shot then, after his ejection, stripped off his jersey before leaving the court. "If there's one Laker who suffers from a disability of maturity, it's him," says Plaschke.
