After his brutal flagrant foul on Dallas Mavericks’ guard J.J. Barea, Andrew Bynum has been officially punished by the NBA. The league has decided to suspend Bynum for the first five games of next season and fine him $25,000. Bynum’s future with the Lakers is still uncertain, but he will miss the opening of the 2011-2012 no matter what jersey he wears.

    Amazing how the league can levy such fines on a playoff game especially after a frustrating series. Lots of reasons for the NBA to think more about their referees than infractions. The refs allowed this to happen with their playoff let them play mentality.

    I’m glad this douche bag got suspended. If you cant take the pressures of the game dont play it, and if you are going to play it, be a gentleman and show your “skills” but dont hate on the other’s skills. I think the fine was too low. They should have hit him harder and make an example of him

      A much larger fine would have been more appropriate. What all the lakers fans above need to realise is that this is basketball not UFC. Oh and moaning about the refs!?! Grow up please.
