There's apparently another way that Andrew Bynum wants to expand his game. And we're not talking about shooting three-pointers.

We're talking about his fashion look.

After sporting an afro while attending St. Joseph High in Metuchen, N.J., Bynum said after Thursday's practice at the team's facility in El Segundo that he wants to rock that look again.

"I want to grow it," Bynum said. "I want to get it back."

Even though Bynum wore a comb pick in his hair following practice, Laker fans shouldn't get their hopes up for the Lakers center to feature the afro during the postseason.

Bynum said it will take "probably a year" for him to grow one back. Let the Julius Erving comparisons begin.

He is reminding me more and more of a young Kobe.

I'll say one thing about MSDS. He's persistent....

I don't know if I like the fro on Drew and it seems a bit out of fashion. Unless I'm mistaken and the afro is making a comeback...

Perhaps Drew should gets some dreadlocks. That would be wicked!

If a big 'fro makes you beast on defense like a younger Ben Wallace...most definitely go for it!

Having troubles picturing that on Drew's head though. Wink

I would love to see AB with that Big Ben fro w/ that ripped body. AB would be force of nature down low w/ his offensive skill set. I feel like I'm dreaming lol

1) the Afro idea is a bad one for Drew because he has obvious grey hair at 24.

2). The last laker who sported locs had to retire because of his knees. I'd rather Drew not get the locs for fear of an encore.

Dang Wallace was a beast back then. He would have made a mean football player. But Bynum should grow the Wallace type fro along with some type of beard. Like a James Harden beard. Now that'd be something haha

^ lmao Steve, yeah...Ben Wallace is most definitely scary looking. It's that or he's seriously pissed off because he can't figure out how to make a free throw!!!


By the way, since Drew seems to have that premature "touch of gray" thing going for him, I'm hoping his 'fro doesn't come out looking like this:

LOL! Why not! Grow a beard like Harden and let your hair get real long so that you can look like a cave man or as some in this forum say beastly.
