  The Los Angeles Lakers had another bad loss last night, losing to the San Antonio Spurs. As bad as they looked on their road trip, and they looked horrible, they were just downright terrible on their home floor. The fans had no choice but to boo the home team as they wasted money, time, and Easter to watch a half-hearted effort on the part of the Lakers. It’s like a mother ...

The greatest player of his era can opt out of his contract at the end of the 2009-10 NBA season. The greatest player of the next era will be a free agent after this season. No matter how much they get tired of hearing their names together, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James' fates will be intertwined. The two best players in the world fit together like cereal and milk. Unfortunately, the ...

Kobe Bryant’s ranking on the all-time list is debatable. Some people have elevated him to GOAT status and some people claim that he’s barely a top 20 player of all time. Most people have him in the top 10 of all time, but there is intense disagreement as to where on the top 10 list he falls. Some people claim that he’s the greatest Laker of all time, which would put ...

Growing up, I remember seeing those Gatorade commercials: "If I could be like Mike." Everywhere you went, the store, the gym, the schools, it seemed as if all the kids wanted to be like Michael "Mike" Jordan. Now kids want to be like Kobe and Lebron. Our kids turn these athletes into heroes for what they are able to accomplish on the basketball court. We are no better than our kids ...

Sometimes a person can be so masterful at what they do that the extraordinary becomes expected. Perhaps it is just human nature to cease to be impressed by repetition. The first time you see a 3-D movie, it is an amazing cinematic experience. Eyes move in wonder as the anxiousness of what will happen next builds up. But after you’ve seen a couple of 3-D movies, the wonder begins to fade. ...

Many observers this season have written about how the Lakers are playing below par. Teams are apparently finding weaknesses in the Lakers. According to the critics, the Lakers' interior is too soft with Pau Gasol patrolling the paint. The point guard play of Derek Fisher is downright terrible as he lets opposing point guard after opposing point guard cruise to the lane. Kobe Bryant shoots too much and he prevents effective and efficient ...

á The ClevelandáCavaliersácompleted a trade for Antawn Jamison today. áThe move came as the highlight of a three team trade between the Cavs, Wizards, and Clippers. The Cavs received Antawn Jamison from the Wizards and Sebastian Telfair from the Clippers. áThe Wizards got Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Brian Skinner, and Al Thorton while the Clippers received Drew Gooden. Two things jump out at me: 1) The Cavs are REALLY good now 2) The Clippers are REALLY ...

The debate that is infiltrating barbershops, classrooms, and water coolers all over America is who's better, Kobe or LeBron? Last year, the ClevelandáCavaliers looked like they were poised for greatness behind the spectacular play of their superstar, LeBron James. To the naked eye it seemed as if the Los Angeles Lakers, led by legend Kobe Bryant, were just a bit stronger and just a bit hungrier. The stats, however, were ...
