This is just more bad news for the Los Angeles Lakers. Their trade for Chris Paul was vetoed by the commissioner. Then they shipped Lamar Odom out of town and that irritated Kobe Bryant. Then Kobe’s wife filed for divorce (did David Stern step in to block that too?), creating further turmoil for the megastar. [...]
Kobe Bryant entered the NBA straight out of high school, but that was a long time ago. 1996 to be exact. He’ll be 33-years old in August and while he’s not ancient, he isn’t a little kid anymore either. And he’s got a lot of basketball wear him since he’s been in the NBA for [...]
It didn’t take long for the Los Angeles Lakers to find a replacement for Phil Jackson.

Everyone keeps talking about this switch that the Los Angeles Lakers will theoretically find and turn on. But, after the fell to the Dallas Mavericks again last night, we aren’t so sure that it even exists. The Lakers are down 3-0 in the series and it’s not looking good. Kobe scored 17 points on 8-of-16 [...]
The NBA has fined Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant $100,000 for uttering a gay slur that just happened to get caught on TNT’s cameras.

We all love Kobe Bryant, right? No? Okay, then forget that lede. Let me start over. Some people love Kobe Bryant. Others don’t. But, that has nothing to do with this post. So forget I even mentioned it. We wanted to pass this along because we think it’s strange. There is video here that clearly [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers know that winning basketball games is much easier to do when you have Kobe Bryant on your team. And apparently, they are open to the idea of winning more basketball games.

Kevin Ding tweets that it doesn’t look very likely that Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant will play this evening against the Utah Jazz. “Kobe is curled up like a dog on the training table in locker room, hood on head and socks on feet. Surely not playing,” he tweets. That doesn’t mean that the [...]
Kobe Bryant (ankle) is questionable for Monday night against the San Antonio Spurs, according to people who know more than us about basketball and, specifically, the NBA.
