Kobe Bryant scored 68 points in the second half of a charity basketball game in Shanghai, China against players who may or may not have ever picked up a basketball before and clearly appear to be under six feet tall. Bryant said his team was down by 29 points as he sat the entire first [...]

Dwight Howard got what he’s wanted, or not wanted, for a long time when he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.  The saga lasted the entire last season plus this summer and somewhere along the line NBA fans lost patience with his antics and coined the entire situation as the Dwightmare. Fans hate Dwight. [...]

United States basketball blew out Argentina 109-83 in the Olympic semifinals to advance to the gold medal game against Spain on Sunday. U.S. led 24-19 after the first quarter thanks to an early outburst from Kobe Bryant.  Bryant had 11 points early in the first quarter by hitting 3-for-5 from 3-point range.  It looked as [...]

United States Olympic basketball team debuted against the Dominican Republic and not surprisingly dominated Coach Calipari’s experienced team the entire way in Vegas to a 113-59 win. Coach K went with a starting lineup of Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Tyson Chandler.  Anthony played the power forward position.  I like this [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers have their backs against the wall as they are down 3-1 to the Thunder with a presumable closeout game in Oklahoma City tonight. The last two games that the Lakers have lost are by a combined five points.  They have played well enough to be in this series, but it just [...]

Few people thought that this series would go seven games, but it’s here.  Nuggets against the Lakers in the Staples Center tonight to get to see who earns the unenviable position of taking on the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round. The biggest factor for the Lakers is the play of big men Andrew [...]

There’s always a chance to win a championship when you have three of the best players at their positions in basketball, and that’s why the Lakers should be taken extremely serious. Andrew Bynum could be the best center in basketball.  I know Dwight Howard might be better, but his terrible attitude leads me to believe [...]

I want Kobe Bryant to win the scoring title from Kevin Durant. Both players are two-time NBA scoring champions.  Durant is averaging 27.97 points per game while Bryant comes in right behind him at 27.86.  Both teams have just one remaining game that will decide the 2012 scoring king.  The Thunder take on the Nuggets [...]

Since Dwyane Wade broke Kobe Bryant’s nose and gave him a concussion, injuries that would have kept a normal human being out of action, Kobe and the Lakers have been a perfect 3-0. Kobe dropped 31 points, 8 assists, and 7 rebounds in a win over the Wolves, 39 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists [...]

The East came back from down 21 big behind the play of LeBron James, who dropped 36 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome to West’s big three of Kobe Bryant, Russell Westbrook, and Kevin Durant. LeBron hit nine straight shots in the second half, showing off his long range, and was the most dominant [...]
