Haven't we had enough of Andrew Bynum?

bynum.jpgI pretty much gave up on the Laker center - and on the Lakers in general - after he was caught on camera parking in handicap spots around town. Fans put up with a lot, but that was my breaking point. (Didn't he figure that eventually someone would notice?) His enablers kept insisting that the kid would learn from his mistakes, but he really hasn't and most likely never will. His latest infraction - skipping out on a session with reporters - is relatively tame, but it's telling. From the LAT:

Bynum took the rare step of talking to reporters after the team's Wednesday morning shoot-around, when player interviews aren't mandatory, but it wasn't enough to save a financial hit. "As soon as the coach said we could go [Tuesday], I bonked out on you guys," Bynum told The Times on Wednesday, suggesting that he simply forgot to talk to reporters.

He's a jerk. Haven't we had enough?
