  • NBA Single Game Records And Breaking Them

    Wilt Chamberlain isn’t the only record holder of NBA single game achievements, as hard as it is to believe. A mediocre point guard like Scott Skiles (and mediocre head coach as well) is also in the record books with 30 assists in one game.

  • Kobe Bryant Mask Only Helps in First Win Over New Heat

    Kobe Bryant said he wasn’t looking for revenge, and the Dwyane Wade “incident” was behind.

  • Maybe the Lakers Should Trade… Kobe Bryant?

    Kobe Bryant is the best player on the Los Angeles Lakers, the best player in the NBA on some nights. But life in LA, the Lakers future, might be better without him. As hard it is to trade someone with a no-trade clause, maybe the deal the team should be looking for is trading #24?

    Kobe Bryant played with a mask on his face, suffering from a broken nose, post-concussion and a stiff neck, all thank to Dwyane Wade, which didn’t stop him from leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a 104-85 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves with 31 points.

  • Questions Regarding the Second Half of the NBA Season

    Will the Miami Heat or the Chicago Bulls rule the East? Is anyone able to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder? Where will Dwight Howard end up? Where will the Jeremy Lin Saga take us?

  • On LeBron James and NBA Clutch Shooting This Season

    LeBron James gave up on the final shot in the All-Star game, but his clutch shooting numbers haven’t been exactly stellar this season, so maybe he knew what he was doing. Shooting without anyone to restrain you, a-la Kobe Bryant, doesn’t always help your team, while having a Durant-Westbrook combo to share the load seems like the best idea.

  • Another All-Star Game, Another Kobe Bryant Record

    Kobe Bryant didn’t win the MVP, but he got what he wanted from the 2012 All-Star game. Setting records is something of a quest for Bryant, and breaking Michael Jodan’s record for most points in the All-Star games was on his mind all night, while Kevin Durant led the West to the win, winning the MVP, while LeBron James, who was just as good, came up just short for the East.

  • Top Ten NBA Players in 2011-2012 – Mid Season Edition

    LeBron James didn’t win the MVP last season, which would have been his third regular season award, because of the negative hype against him, and Derrick Rose suddenly bringing back the Chicago Bulls into a championship caliber team. Joined by Durant, Bynum, Howard, Bryant, Paul, Aldridge, Griffin and Kevin Love, these are the best NBA players so far in the 2011-2012 season.

  • Andrew Bynum Proves Lakers Have More Than Just Kobe Bryant

    Andrew Bynum had another impressive double-double performance, being the best player on a 96-91 win by the Los Angeles Lakers in Dallas against the Slow and old Mavericks, actually enjoying the fact that Shawn Marion completely shut down Kobe Bryant, allowing Pau Gasol and others an opportunity to shine.

  • Lakers Keep Going Where Bryant Points and Words Take Them

    Kobe Bryant talking about the Lakers mishandling the Pau Gasol situation seemed to refocus the team as they stormed the Staples Center, leaving no chance for the Portland Trail Blazers in a 103-92 win, that showed everything the Los Angeles Lakers have going for them (Bryant, Bynum-Gasol) and their two major problems at Point Guard and Small Forward.
