Block UserThursday night my fraternity, Sigma Nu, threw its quarterly house party. Andrew Bynum, the injured center for the Los Angeles Lakers, the twenty-year-old former 1st round pick, was at the party. Word started to spread around the party of his presence, but no one could find him. Then suddenly he emerged from one of my friend's rooms with two girls and a small entourage of Sigma Nus following behind him. Everyone who had a camera or a cell phoned rushed towards him to get a picture.
Bynum walked out of the hall, down a flight of stairs, and into the center of the dance floor, where he danced with the two girls. I don't know what this means about the state of his knee, or if he'll be able to play for the Lakers this post-season. But I do know that he can walk down stairs and dance to fast paced hip hop.

Now, I'm not a big fan of muckraking into athletes' personal lives, but I do find this interesting. Fortunately, the media hasn't beat him up over it, and I don't think something like this will come back to bite him... It's not like he's rolling with Lachey. All in all, he is a 20 year old kid. Had he attended college (and not left early), he'd still be there. Reports are saying that he's been doing just about everything shy of 'full-contact' workouts, so I doubt a little bit of dancing is going to throw anything off. The best thing of all is that Bynum was said not to be drinking. At all. Which I believe, considering his comments from the past on drinking, smoking, and tattoos.
The majority of Lakers fans don't seem to care about this situation, and in my entirely unbiased opinion, I don't either. I don't even like calling it a "situation," however, since it didn't make it to the major news sources (and rightfully so), I'm anxious to see what you all think.
