Bad Boy Bynum
Lakers center Andrew Bynum seems intent on absolutely ruining his reputation with NBA fans. It started when Bynum nearly decapitated J.J. Barea in the fourth quarter of the final game of Dallas’ sweep of Los Angeles. When ejected, Bynum removed his LA jersey while leaving the court.
Now, Bynum has been exposed by NBC affiliate KNBC in Los Angeles.
He was photographed parking across two handicapped spaces at Bristol Farms, an upscale grocery store. When approached by a KNBC reporter, he slammed his car door and drove off. The parking lot was half full, but the 23-year-old, who will earn almost $15 million next season guaranteed and reportedly owns 18 vehicles, did not want to walk the extra few steps
There are other photos circulating on the internet of Bynum parking in a handicapped space directly in front of a handicapped sign at a branch of Bank of America.
DMV deputy chief Vito Scattaglia, after seeing the photos, told KNBC: "It is a terrible image and perception when something like this happens. That does infuriate me, because there are those people that truly need that space."
