Kobe Bryant Launches “Nike Kobe System 8″
Kobe Bryant launched the Nike Kobe System 8 tonight in Los Angeles:
“The Kobe 8 is about enhanced performance. It’s the most comfortable shoe I have worn. It’s simplistic but has an edge to it…

Kobe Bryant & Lionel Messi in Turkish Airlines ad
NBA superstar, Kobe Bryant, and prominent Argentine footballer, Lionel Messi, star in this ad for Turkish Airlines shot back in September:

Dwight Howard clowns Kobe Bryant on team plane (VIDEO)
New team, same old Dwight Howard. After starting the 2012 NBA season at 1-4, the Los Angeles Lakers have bounced back nicely as they currently stand with a record of 7-7 in the Western Conference.

The major target of his rant was Kobe...
Kobe Bryant is no Jack Taylor
Last night, Kobe Bryant scored over half his team’s points (40) and reached a triple double. No, not the good kind of triple double…the kind where you also have 10 turnovers. An absurd line of 40/10/3/3 with 5 3PM, 12-28 FG, 11-13 FT, and the aforementioned 10 turnovers. You’ll live with the high TO’s but the Lakers can’t. In a night of high profile college basketball...

I just know Kobe Bryant hates Dwight Howard
This is kinda funny, but I just know Kobe despises Dwight Howard. It’s because he has the same demeanor on the court as he does on the team plane.
Paint your face, clown.
