All-Star appearance: 2012

Andrew Bynum came into the league at a very young age of 17 when he was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 10th overall pick in the 2005 NBA draft. Bynum displayed what he was capable of doing in the 2008-09 season when he averaged 14.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game en route to his maiden NBA title.

'Bynumite' then backed it up with yet another strong season in 2009-10 where he averaged 15.0 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.0 assist and once again played a key role in the Lakers' becoming back-to-back champions.

Bynum only got better from there and earned an All-Star appearance in 2012 where he averaged career-high figures of 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds. The 2011-12 season also saw his sensational 16-point, 30-rebound performance against the Spurs.

He missed the entire 2012-13 season due to a knee injury and in his last season (2013-14), he played in 24 games for the Cleveland Cavaliers before he got traded by them to the Indiana Pacers with whom he only played in two games.
