The dream finally came true for Andrew Bynum ... six years later.
Bynum has been eager to be named an All-Star his entire career, and it finally happened via the fan balloting that got the Lakers' center 1,051,945 votes to Clippers center DeAndre Jordan's 322,056 as the closest Western Conference challenger.

Bynum is having his best statistical season with 16.8 points, 12.0 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in 34 minutes per game. He has had good starts to seasons before but been blocked in fan balloting in the West by Yao Ming or Shaquille O'Neal—then Amar'e Stoudemire.

Andrew Bynum (Born Oct 27, 1887) Andrew Bynum is a legit 7 footer with great mobility. Offensively Andrew Bynum has a small but solid set of post moves, including a very effective baby hook. He is very good at backing down players into the low post and ending with a slam or short hook…Defensively, Bynum is a load in the paint. Although not a prolific shot blocker, Bynum is adept at altering shots and forcing teams to shoot the outside shot. However, he is yet to face a player his size, so his one on one defense has not been truly tested…With time he should develop into an excellent shot blocker…The thing to remember here is that players with his size and mobility are a rarity.
Luke Walton Luke Walton (born March 28, 1980 in San Diego, California) is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the NBA. His position is small forward.
