Let's stop all of these comparisons. It is not doing anyone any good and those who dare to make the leap (yes I said leap) to put Kobe at Jordan's level is nothing short of asinine.
I'm not trying to make the case that Kobe isn't a great player. He is a great and very dominent player in the NBA. He is not however Jordan.
Check out some of the career stats...

For all of the articles that compare Kobe to Jordan and is he the greatest, the best....whatever! Kobe has made it to the finals without Shaq. Kobe is on top of the hill and now it is time to start digging deeper into what drives him and lets compare Kobe's drive.
How does Kobe stack up to others with the non-obvious? What is Kobe's driving force? What is the extra...

For those of you who don't know Vanessa Curry, she is an ex-Laker girl that accordingly to one of my favorite websites thedirty.com had/is having an affair with Kobe Bryant. If you actually want to read the whole story, Deadspin has the time line of the whole ordeal. Now being a biased Boston sports fan, I loved hearing the idea that Don Chavez had about making cutouts of Vanessa...

Almost a month ago, I posted my thoughts on the Lakers' small forward situation. Last night, the problem reared its ugly head again.
Vladimir Radmanovic was 2-5 on the night, scoring five points and committing five fouls. He couldn't keep up with Paul Pierce, especially at the beginning of the third quarter, when he allowed Pierce to score eight straight points (including...

Chris Bosh is hilarious - he does some interviews before Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

I guess the people at NBC saw Chris Bosh's youtube videos. So they decided to let him be the guest correspondent for the Tonight Show at the NBA Finals. It aired last night, so here it is. Some of my highlights include Kobe Bryant slapping Bosh and Sasha Vujacic talking about hanging out with Paris Hilton.

Amazing, amazing move by NBC to counter ABC's Basketball coverage by getting Blog and You Tube sensation Chris Bosh for it's NBA spots. Here's the first during the Celts and Lakers practice and it's close to the funniest thing I've ever seen....I can't even process all of that. The Machine with Paris Hilton, Kobe smacking the hell out of Bosh, and Big Baby talking Sex and the City...

So much is being made of Pierce's return after the injury. Phil Jackson's classless remarks reminded me why I really don't like the guy. He had this to say:
Paul got carried off and was back on his feet in a minute," Jackson said. "I don't know if the angels visited him in that time-out period or what, but he didn't even limp when he came back out on the floor. I don...

As the Finals start tonight, we have all gone through, listened on TV or sports talk radio or had that water cooler conversation at the office. We have also had more than our share of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. (why do I get the funny feeling this is ONLY the beginning?? What year is this again?)
Well since everybody else put their two cents in, I figured I would take...

So like many lines inside the preview say, "forget what happened in the regular season". Yeah, we can put to rest the two games that Boston dominated against Kobe and a Pau Gasol less Lakers. Of course during that time the Lakers aren't playing in their highest performance yet and so the Boston just cruised their way so easy. Am I a Laker fan? No! So this finals is probably one of...

Each year adults nationwide save up their sick days for a few certain events. Baseball's opening day, the release of the new Madden video game, Flag Day. Well, I hope you people in New England have one sick day stashed away, because you may just want to call into work tomorrow.

If Kobe Bryant had been traded to the Bulls…
• Jack Nicholson would have taken a sand wedge to the windshield of Kupchak's car.
• Carson Daly would have beaten out Jimmy Fallon as the replacement for Conan O'Brien.
• O.J. Mayo would not have accepted tickets to a Nuggets/Lakers game from Carmelo Anthony, since the Lakers would have sucked and Mayo don't do sucked.

Many Celtic fans found themselves jumping off a bridge as soon as Paul Pierce went down to the floor, clutching his knee.
There was a collective gasp from the entire stadium, which turned into dead silence as he was carted off the court in a wheelchair.
It must have come as a shock to Boston fans since their team was playing well up to that point.

One down, three more wins to go. The Celtics came out knowing they had the pressure on them to win Game 1, and they did so, taking down the Lakers 98-88. This game wasn't without it's drama, however. With 6:52 remaining in the third quarter, Kendrick Perkins came down awkwardly on Paul Pierce, sending Pierce to the floor. Pierce was down for several moments, clutching at...
