This is what it has come to for Andrew Bynum. He's not playing basketball right now. He's probably not going to be playing basketball anytime in the foreseeable future. And, if he does play basketball this season, it's going to be in a limited role.

So, rather than focus on basketball, he's focusing on keeping his afro looking right. And, yesterday, he talked to reporters about it. It was an incredibly deep conversation, and it went a little something like this:

REPORTER: How much higher can the afro go?

BYNUM: Oh man, I want it to go forever, man. There's going to come a point in time where it's not going to be growing, so I might as well enjoy it while I have it.

REPORTER: Why flatten it like Dora the Explorer that one time?

BYNUM: It wasn't Dora, man. It was Pimp Named Slickback [from The Boondocks]. No, I flattened it because it gets boring picking it out all the time.

Oh, 'Drew. How the hell has it come to this? Please start playing basketball again soon. PLEASE!!! Check out some more pictures of Andrew Bynum's hair in the thumb gallery.
