Andrew Bynum's reported practice exploits are simply hilarious

You'd think a guy making millions of dollars for one season of playing -- or in some instances, NOT playing -- basketball would have a decent sense of decorum on the hardwood. Alas, most NBA players are not Andrew Bynum.

We've all heard tales about Bynum not really enjoying basketball, seemingly going through the motions and taking advantage of his god-given talents to put bigtime bucks in his bank account. We still don't know the truth to any of that, but the wacky stories keep coming.

The latest is this rather hilarious nugget from Yahoo!'s Adrian Wojnarowski in his dismantling of the Cavs organization:

Only Bynum never made it to the early January guarantee date for his full $12.5 million salary in 2013-14, and self-destructed. He stopped trying on the floor, and became a disruptive presence in practices. Before Bynum was thrown out of his final practice and suspended, he was shooting the ball every time he touched it in a practice scrimmage, sources said – from whatever remote part of the court he had caught the ball.

That's just amazing.

And extra fun to picture in your head: Bynum sets a pick at the top of the key, is passed the ball to setup some offensive set... AND BOOM! Bynum launches a three. Bynum inbounds the ball before lightly jogging down the court, gets a pass from Kyrie Irving who was caught in a pickle... AND BOOM! Bynum launches a 30 footer!

"Every time." "From Whatever remote part of the court he had caught the ball."

It's hilarious because he's someone else's problem. But damn, that guy became a joke real quick.

That's fantastic.
