Watch: Kobe Tribute Videos From His Farewell Tour

April 18, 2016 by Darius Soriano

After Kobe made the announcement this season would be his last, every “last game” against a road opponent became a chance for that team (and, on April 13th, the Lakers) to pay tribute to Kobe in some way shape or form. Some teams did nothing at all, but others took the chance to say “thank […]

Watch: Fantastic Tribute & Highlight Video of Kobe’s Last Game

April 15, 2016 by Darius Soriano

It’s been two days since Kobe shocked everyone, including himself, by scoring 60 points in his epic farewell game. In the lead up to and the aftermath of the game there have been so many great stories to read, podcasts to listen to, and videos to watch that I haven’t gotten close to getting through […]

Kobe Gives Fans One Last Memory with an Epic Farewell Game

April 14, 2016 by Darius Soriano

It is hard to think about it this way now after 20 years of amazing play that has made the sublime routine, but Kobe has built a career, no, a legend, off defying odds. It seems strange to say this about someone whose father was an NBA player and has the pedigree he does, but […]

Preview & Chat: Lakers vs. Jazz

April 13, 2016 by Darius Soriano

This is it. The end of a season. The end of a career. Both of these carry meaning, but only one of them really matters to me today. Thank you to Kobe for a wonderful 20 years with the franchise I root for. There has been much written and said over the years, but there […]

Thank You, Kobe

April 13, 2016 by Darius Soriano

Over the years we have said so much. Now, on this final day of his career, there’s only one thing left: Thank you, Kobe. (video by @MaxaMillion711)

The Gray Mamba: How Kobe Bryant Forced Us To Think in Nuance

April 13, 2016 by Anthony Irwin

In a political culture of red versus blue, a sports culture of you versus us, and a general culture of black or white, Kobe Bryant might have been more aptly nicknamed for the areas his career spent the majority of its time in: the ambiguous shades of gray. This season, and especially this week, has […]

On Kobe Bryant and Endings

April 12, 2016 by Darius Soriano

While the last game of Kobe’s career is Wednesday, April 13, 2016, a concept I have discussed with more than a handful of fans over the past few years is that Kobe’s career really ended on that fateful night in April 2013 when he ruptured his achilles tendon. Sure, these last three seasons — two […]

Preview & Chat: Lakers vs. Rockets

April 10, 2016 by Darius Soriano

With only 3 games left in Kobe’s career, the focus is almost entirely on the final moments of his brilliant career whether he wants it that way or not. After the Lakers were handled by the Pelicans on Friday, Kobe didn’t express much approval of his point guard saying the goal was to get Kobe […]

Mamba Day is Coming…

April 10, 2016 by Darius Soriano

Nike has labeled April 13th “Mamba Day” in celebration of Kobe Bryant’s last game of his career. They’re dropping commemorative shoes and will surely have more product for your consumption as the day rolls around. They have also released a great video with their signature athletes (and others, including Phil Jackson) talking about Kobe, telling […]

Preview & Chat: Lakers vs. Wizards

March 27, 2016 by Darius Soriano

After losing to the Nuggets on Friday, the Lakers are back in action today against the Wizards. Friday saw Kobe score 28 on decent efficiency, D’Angelo Russell go down with a sprained ankle (he is doubtful for today), and Julius Randle notch his 1st career triple double. Still, though, it was a loss. The Lakers […]
