Will Bynum with DUNKs of the Year!

by | Nov 11, 2009 | 49 comments

Five foot nothing Will “The Thrill” Bynum, put more thunder in the Palace than I can remember in quite some time. The first one brought the house down and the second one that started with a block, just added Will to legendary status.

You got DUNKED on Tyson Chandler!

If the dunk wasn’t good enough, the reaction from George Blaha makes it even better. You also have to appreciate the bench’s reaction and Will’s when he saw the replay on Palace Vision.

How many more times can you scream BYNUMITE? Will is making it almost mandatory at this point.

Thanks Will!

      I prefer him at 6th man of the year. I love Will off the bench. Rodeny is solid, and Will is such a spark plug. I think it’s fair to say that he’s teh best back up PG in the league. He’s reminding more each game of a more athletic Lindsey Hunter, and I love it!

    Natalie, if you get a chance to speak to Joey D, verify that he’ll do all in his power to keep Bynum a Piston! 😉

    Local news in Flint said his dunk should be play of the day on ESPN. I am watching Nash, so won’t see Sportscenter until the late morning.

    I’m not a huge fan of the “Bynumite” thing, but the least we can do is try to spell it consistently. I saw it spelled “Bymumite” sometime last week, and in this post it’s spelled “Bynumute.”

      Well it wouldn’t be BYMUNITE, because the name is spelled BYNUM. = (BYNUMITE)

    okay sorry but dunk contest?? he cuffed the ball he didnt palm it.. they were great dunks dont get me wrong amazing.. but he couldnt do that much in a dunk contest

      Couldn’t do that much in a dunk contest? Are you kidding me?

      At open practice, Will was doing highlight dunks that would’ve blown anybody else out of the water. You have no idea what you’re talking about saying that Will couldn’t do much in a dunk contest. This was in the middle of a game. You obviously haven’t seen what he can do when it’s just him and the ball.

    Those dunks should be illegal. That is nasty!!!!!!!!!!

    Nat, please…Stuckey is the starting point guard for good. ‘the thrill’ is simply the best backup point guard in the league and that’s the way it should be. We need his energy!

    Are you doing a write up for the game?

    So, in sum:

    Maxxi is Master Yo-Dunk!!

    We need CV31 to become Mace WinDunk BABY!!!!!!

    THE PISTONS must be top on Tyson Chandler’s teams-I-don’t-want-to-play-against list… lol!

    I could watch that video all day!!!! LOVE IT.

    Eric–Nat coined “Bynumite,” so it’s safe to assume she made a simple typo, which is understandable cuz she was at the game all night, repping the D and losing her voice. 🙂

      A Typo….and it’s FIXED! Thanks everyone.

    Will can keep striving for 6th man of the year or Most Improved Player, although I think Channing Frye might be the front-runner for MIP right now.

      Big Ben can keep striving for Comeback Player of the Year.

    Will is awesome off the bench, but he shold stay in that role… He’s pesky on D but not big enough to start along side BG right now.

    It seems like Stuckey is guarding the opposing 2guard while BG handles the PG…. with starting Bynum we sould have BG guarding the other teams 2man, which doesn;t bold well…

    I like Stuck as the starter and the thrill off the bench

    Reply
    • Drew

      Agreed ^ totally. Why start him when he’s so effective off the bench? Plus, a starting lineup of Bynum and Gordon is way too small: they’d get killed on D.

      Reply
  27. Josh

    I don’t care how they play him as long as he’s playing. Starting is overrated. So long as he’s not complaining it’s not an issue for me.

    Very nice dunk, but a complete afterthought following Wade’s destruction of sideshow bob in the heat/cavs game.
