The 2012-2013 MVP Race Infographic

Posted on 2 May, 2013, by in Featured

It’s hard to see anyone but LeBron James becoming the MVP of the 2012-2013 NBA season, despite the trio of Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony scoring more points than him. But even if all three of them are more valuable to their respective teams than James is, which is doubtful, none of them is better than him. More

Los Angeles Lakers – What’s Next?

Posted on 30 Apr, 2013, by in Featured

No matter what kind of mutterings you’ll hear, the Los Angeles Lakers failed in the 2012-2013 NBA season, barely making it into the playoffs and getting swept in the first round. Kobe Bryant will be back eventually, hopefully not too far from his ability from before the injury. The biggest decisions for the Lakers remain with re-signing Dwight Howard, keeping (or not) Mike D’Antoni while making up their minds about the future of Pau Gasol, Metta World Peace and Steve Nash.

Los Angeles Lakers – Dwight Howard Might Prefer Free Agency

Posted on 29 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

After serving one season as the second in command to Kobe Bryant, there’s a good chance Dwight Howard will prefer seeking a different status somewhere else around the NBA and test the free agency waters instead of re-signing with the Los Angeles Lakers, even though staying put means more money than anywhere else.

NBA Stars Injured & Missing the Playoffs

Posted on 28 Apr, 2013, by in Featured

The recent string of season-ending injuries to NBA stars like Kobe Bryant and Russell Westbrook has just made the list even longer, with Rajon Rondo, David Lee, Danny Granger, Danilo Gallinari and Derrick Rose being the biggest names that should have been in the postseason. More

Kobe Bryant Will Get Mike D’Antoni Fired Through Twitter

Posted on 22 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

Everyone knows how serious Kobe Bryant is about his team, the Los Angeles Lakers. It also seems sometimes that out of all that passion comes a destructiveness that punishes those trying to succeed without him, although he doesn’t necessarily mean for the results to happen. Using twitter to interact with the fans during games, something he never managed to do before his injuries, might not be all that positive as some might think. More

Los Angeles Lakers Should Amnesty Kobe Bryant, Not Pau Gasol

Posted on 22 Apr, 2013, by in Featured

People don’t always do the smart things because of, well, less than intelligent decision making. While Kobe Bryant has been the face of the Los Angeles Lakers for over a decade, the Southern California will get over him eventually, like they do about everything, once the team built around others, specifically Dwight Howard, starts winning games at an acceptable rate. Meanwhile, the team is more inclined to release Pau Gasol than the Black Mamba. More

Dwight Howard Lakers Future

Los Angeles Lakers – The Playoffs Are a Chance to Build the Future

Posted on 16 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

Someone said the final games of the season are an audition for Dwight Howard to show he can be what the Los Angeles Lakers expect him to be. More than the emergence of Howard as a star and leader, something he has proved he can do in the past on a weaker team, it’s a chance for the Lakers to step out of the shadow that Kobe Bryant casts upon the entire franchise.

Dwight Howard Happy

Los Angeles Lakers – Dwight Howard is Better Off Without Kobe Bryant

Posted on 15 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

The sample size of the games without Kobe Bryant this season is too small up until now (only three), but the early conclusion is that the Los Angeles Lakers aren’t doomed without their alleged best player, especially when his absence makes life a little bit easier for everyone on the floor, and especially Dwight Howard, who like it or not is made to be a star on a team, and not just a bystander waiting for a chance.

Lakers 2013

The Los Angeles Lakers as a Game of Thrones Like Drama

Posted on 14 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

The most interesting take on this weird and probably disappointing season for the Los Angeles Lakers comes from redditor frekkld, who translated the 2012-2013 season into a synopsis of a Shakespearean tragedy, but the tales of Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard and Mike D’Antoni seems to be more fitting to the world created by GRRM in A Song of Ice and Fire, or as most people know it, Game of Thrones.

Hate or Love Him, Kobe Bryant is a Physical Freak

Posted on 12 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

Even if your favorite sport in the world is doing some Kobe Bryant bashing, the recent runs of games without rest while putting up some incredible numbers which most likely will be able to carry the Los Angeles Lakers into playoffs is one of the most incredible feats one of the best players in NBA history has pulled off, even if it’s not going to end up with a title ring.
