  • 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. And then he went out and scored 33 points, to lead the Los Angeles Lakers in their first win over the Big Three Era Miami Heat, a 95-85 win as LeBron James felt too alone in a game he couldn’t win on his own.

  • 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 Can’t Be Slowed Down by Masks

    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.

  • 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.

  • Kobe Bryant – Beating Shaquille O’Neal and Reaching Michael Jordan

    Bryant should reach 30,000 next season. Assuming he doesn’t sustain any long term injuries, and there’s no head coach or anyone in the locker room to tell him to stop shooting, who knows where he’ll stop? Getting that sixth ring, just like Michael Jordan, doesn’t seem likely, but passing him on the all time scoring list, despite more games and seasons, should make Bryant a happier man when he finally retires and his huge ego can move on to other endeavors.

  • Healthy or Not, LeBron James is the Best Player in the NBA

    LeBron James almost didn’t play, if the talk about his chest cold were true. He did miss the morning shootaround, but there was nothing offbeat about his performance against the Lakers later on, scoring 31 points and leading the Miami Heat to a 98-87 win over the hot-at-home cold-on-the-road Lakers.

  • The Deron Williams Options – Lakers via Trade or Mavs in the Summer

    Deron Williams isn’t happy with the situation in New Jersey with the Nets. From playing on a team with high aspirations, hopfeul of landing Dwight Howard somehow, Williams has found himself as the best player on a team going nowhere, with an owner who’s too involved with current Russian politics to actually care enough it seems.

  • Bryant Stops Scoring and Lakers Keep Winning

    Kobe Bryant couldn’t help himself but continue and throw over 20 shots, limiting himself to “only” 22 field goal attempts and 14 points, making only 7 of his shots. For once this season, he gave up on the tough last shot, finding Derek Fisher who hit the winning three pointer win 3 second to go, beating the Dallas Mavericks 73-70.

  • Paul Makes Clippers Better Team Than Lakers Despite Bryant

    Kobe Bryant is pretty much unstoppable right now, and so were the Lakers over the last 10 days, until they met the Los Angeles Clippers. Bryant may be scoring over 40 points a game this past week, but the Clippers, with an one fire Chris Paul (33 points) are simply the best team in LA right now, winning 102-94.
