By now, we all know that Andrew Bynum is a clueless moron, right? Well if you didn’t know, then let us give you one huge piece of evidence that supports our assertion.

On Monday, Pablo Torre of ESPN penned a piece on how the Philadelphia 76ers plan on winning in the near future. While the concept seems laughable, it’s not his story or argument that we care about. Instead, it’s the little tidbit about the team’s decision to sign the young and dumb Bynum that really shines bright.

This is the anecdote Torre added:

“Their would-be star was a hazardous fit — sometimes even literally. One day, memorably, the rehabbing big man parked next to Aaron Barzilai, DiLeo’s newly hired director of basketball analytics, in the parking lot of the team facility at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. As Bynum shuffled inside, Barzilai noticed something on their would-be star’s custom black Ferrari and called after him. Bynum, it turned out, had driven away from a gas station without removing the pump’s nozzle and eight-
foot rubber hose, which he’d dragged, pythonlike, through the street.”

So there you have it. Bynum was — and always will be — a complete moron. We’re not sure how it’s even possible to pull off a stunt like that, but if there’s someone dumb enough to do it, it’s Bynum.

So much talent, wasted.
