LAKERS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Rumor has it that the Los Angeles Lakers are interested in signing free-agent point guard, Gilbert Arenas. The Lakers could definitely use an upgrade at point guard over Steve Blake and Derek Fisher, especially after the two got burned by Jeremy Lin last night. Actually, the whole season, they have been getting pummeled by opposing teams’ point guards. They are younger, more...

The artist formerly known as Ron Artest said on his Twitter account that he would like to become a referee once his playing days are over.

Kobe Bryant has reportedly reached out to free agent Gilbert Arenas, hoping to convince him to join the Lakers and help solidify their inconsistent back court.

Kobe Bryant gave the potential signing his approval.

The Logo has spoken and out of respect, we listen when the Logo talks. Despite his advisory role with the Golden State Warriors, Jerry West is still talking about the Los Angeles Lakers and why not, he was a member of that organization for over half of his life. Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, West said despite their early season struggles, the Lakers will still be a very dangerous...

Amidst the “Greatest Laker Debate”, the Los Angeles Lakers get their second road win on their six-game roadie last night in overtime against their arch nemesis, the Boston Celtics 88-87. With the relevance of this rivalry being questioned for the first time in four years, the all-star snubs became the hot bed topic of the evening. And one individual, in particular, took...

According to ESPN Los Angeles, Lakers team spokesman John Black confirmed on Thursday that the team will retire Shaquille O’Neal’s No. 34 next season.  The date is still to be determined. O’Neal’s number will make the 8th retired in Lakers history.  He will join the rafters of Staples Center alongside former Lakers and Hall of Famers, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain...

Los Angeles Lakers legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson was a larger-than-life character who seemed infallible and untouchable, as he, along with Larry Bird, helped to save the NBA from troubled times during the 1980s. Magic’s ability to take control of a game at his whim, and make plays which were once thought impossible for a man of his size, changed...

Five-time NBA champion Kobe Bryant has never been shy about speaking his mind. So when the Lakers star posed for a picture with Rob Gronkowski after L.A.'s 88-87 overtime victory over the Celtics, he didn't hesitate to tell the Pats' tight end where he thinks he should play next, according to WEEI. "I said 'the Eagles need a tight end.' That's what I...

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski attended the Boston Celtics game against the Los Angeles Lakers last night and got a standing ovation from the TD Garden crowd. After the game, he got to meet Lakers star Kobe Bryant, or should I say, Kobe got to meet Gronkowski and pose for a picture with him. Because everyone loves the Gronk.

Reports indicate that the Los Angeles Lakers intend to retire Shaquille O'Neal's #34 at some point next season, becoming the eighth Laker to have that honor bestowed upon him.

The Lakers hardly deserve favorable reviews. They enter Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics with a 14-11 record and a seventh playoff-seed. That's hardly satisfying for an organization fixated on championships. They've dropped two of their first three games of a six-game trip. That hardly assuages the Lakers' 3-9 road record. They remain at the bottom of the...

The Lakers are finally getting some help at backup point guard, and it's coming from their own roster. Steve Blake is expected to play Thursday against Boston after missing 13 games because of a rib injury. He took part in a full practice Wednesday and reported no pain. He is technically a game-time decision but sounds ready to go. "Had a fun time," he said after...

Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers holds a number of records and is arguably one of the top players to ever play the game, but will he end up being the all-time scoring leader for the NBA? Kobe might be saying “Tell me how my ass tastes” as he passes Shaquille O’Neal on the All-Time scoring list as he continues his legacy. He is the youngest NBA player to score...
