Andrew Bynum Review
" I got the most realistic simulator possible. "
I wanted the best simulator I could get. I quickly if the Cool Performance simulator is used by F1 drivers then it must be good enough for me. They custom fit the simulator for me due to my size. The team personally flew out to LA to install in my home. Great team great service and even better simulator!!!!
Andrew Bynum, 2x NBA Champion.
Andrew Bynum x Cool Performance
Andrew Bynum wanted the best simulator he could get, and reasoned that if the Cool Performance simulator is used by F1 drivers, it would be good enough for him. At 7 feet tall he needed a simulator built around him, so his Formula Pro was custom fitted to his size and the Cool Performance team flew out to Los Angeles to install it in his home. On the basketball court, Andrew was selected 10th overall by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2005 NBA draft and became the youngest player ever to play in an NBA game. He won two NBA championships with the Lakers in 2009 and 2010, and was named an All-Star and selected to the All-NBA Team in 2012.
