When it’s all said and done and he hangs up his sneakers to “lay on the beach and get fat”, Kobe Bryant’s legacy will be undisputed. He’s already considered one of the all-time great players and he only continues to build upon his impressive resume as his career advances. Last night in scoring 23 points […]

Lakers/Bulls: Sloppy Play Dooms Lakers
[picappgallerysingle id=”10362183″] Right now, with the roster that they have at their disposal, the Lakers’ margin for error is thin when they’re facing a good team. A team like the Chicago Bulls, for example. So when the Lakers commit too many turnovers, get away from what works on offense for long stretches, and can’t win […]

Around the World (Wide Web)
From Dan Devine, Ball Don’t Lie: When Nike decided to debut a new House of Hoops location in Miami back in October, it commissioned artist Alberto Russo to create a handful of illustrations to commemorate the grand opening. I missed the super dope drawings back then, but thanks to a tip from the indestructible Tas […]
Score On The Lakers While You Can
[picappgallerysingle id=”9108850″] In less than a weeks time, the Lakers expect to have Andrew Bynum back in uniform and playing in actual NBA games. This is a big deal for a variety of reasons. For one, it allows Pau Gasol the rest that he needs. Playing over 40 minutes a night isn’t ideal for any […]
Around the World (Wide Web): Lakers/Clippers Reactions
From Kevin Ding, OC Register: Known as the NBA’s leading politician, Derek Fisher found his platform again. Fisher hit the winning shot at the buzzer, turning one night’s defeat into victory – and then instead of stuffing that small success into a duffel bag to take home with him, Fisher unfurled it to display wall-to-wall […]
Lakers/Clippers: In Case You Forgot, Derek Fisher Is Still Clutch
So, kind of like the Lakers did tonight in beating the Clippers 87-86, I’m going to depend on Derek Fisher to bail me out. I could tell you how the Lakers were gassed. How Derrick Caracter turned his ankle and forced Pau and LO both play 40+ minutes and alternate at Center. How the Lakers […]

Around the World (Wide Web): Lakers/Wizards Reactions
From Kevin Ding, OC Register: One of the NBA’s novelties jetted across the Lakers’ path Tuesday night in the form of Washington Wizards rookie point guard John Wall. Another — the Clippers’ Blake Griffin — comes through Wednesday night. But the Lakers’ Pau Gasol has become one of the league’s mainstays. He pushed through some […]
Lakers/Wizards: Not As Easy As Expected, Still Fun To Watch
Sometimes a game doesn’t quite stick to a script. Sometimes, even when one team is overmatched, a game is close because the team that probably shouldn’t play that well actually does. They make shots, play hard despite having countless reasons to fold up their tent, and compete all the way until the final buzzer. Against […]
