    Kobe Bryant – When His Ego Gets the Best of Him

    Once in a while, Kobe Bryant lets his ego get the best of him.

    Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant Passing the Torch

    Kobe Bryant is still an All-NBA type player, but the whispers of him calling it quits when his contract runs out in two seasons are already in the air. That’s what you get when he keeps referring to the Los Angeles Lakers as his team, but also keeps mentioning Dwight Howard as the next one to take over.

  • Los Angeles Lakers – Still the Kobe Bryant Team

    The player getting the most attention on the Los Angeles Lakes media day? Dwight Howard, being the new big name in town, although no one’s quite sure when he’s really going to play.

  • Los Angeles Lakers – The Kobe Bryant Ego Factor

    Say what you will about Kobe Bryant, but there are few players with his kind of drive for success and title rings in the NBA, even after 15 season in the league and five championships. Problem is, his ego and desire for individual greatness can get in the way.

  • Los Angeles Lakers – Will They Go 73-9?

    Let’s begin by rephrasing the question in the headline – Will the Los Angeles Lakers be the best team in the NBA next season? Metta World Peace thinks so, but for now, before the first tip off of the 2012-2013 season, both the Miami Heat and the Oklahoma City Thunder have to be considered better teams.

  • Los Angeles Lakers – Dwight Howard Missing Training Camp & Preseason

    When Dwight Howard first went down back in April to back injury which later required surgery, it was a tad overlooked. All the drama in Orlando while they were flunking out of the playoffs, the move to the Los Angeles Lakers pretty much put the fact that he’s a rehabilitating player in the back of most people’s minds.

  • Los Angeles Lakers – Leandro Barbosa Means Even Faster Offense

    If signing Steve Nash was the first signal of the changes that might occur in the Los Angeles Lakers offense next season, the speculation about the addition of Leandro Barbosa, who was Nash’s backup point guard during the Phoenix Suns best seasons in the previous decade, throws even further in the evolution and reconstruction of the Lakers offense.

  • Los Angeles Lakers – Getting by on Starters Alone

    The starting five that the Los Angeles Lakers will present in the 2012-2013 NBA Season will be quite impressive – Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash at guard, Metta World Peace as small forward, Pau Gasol at power forward and Dwight Howard at center. Arguably the best in the NBA. Enough for an NBA title?

  • Dwight Howard – Still Feels Love for Orlando, not Magic

    Leaving a team to improve your career never sits well with local fans, the ‘betrayed’, and Dwight Howard doesn’t like the fact that Orlando Magic fans (and plenty of others around the NBA) don’t really have too much love for him anymore, after eight seasons with the club. So he takes out an ad, trying to make himself look just a little bit less evil.
