In Thursday night's NBA matchup between the Los Angeles rivals at the Staples Center, Clippers star Blake Griffin and Lakers star Kobe Bryant exchanged slam dunks in the third quarter. Griffin's dunk came off a perfect lob pass from Clippers guard Chris Paul midway through the third quarter. A minute later, Bryant beat Clippers guard Jamal Crawford one-on-one and threw down the monster one-handed slam. In the end, the Clippers were too much for the Lakers and came away with the 125-101 victory. Video via NBA.com. Visit us at holdoutsports.com and follow us on Twitter @HoldoutSports.

Who would have thought it eh? Kobe Bryant the pianist. Well, actually it’s not a surprise. Kobe was a well-learned individual before he left for the NBA at age 18ish. While it’s cool. It’s really not going to get him anywhere in life.
Thanks to TerezOwens for the video.

Once again when asked the question, LeBron James or Kobe Bryant, Michael has answered in favor of Kobe. Granted, Michael’s judgement has been questionable lately; those wide leg jeans are a violation that’s extremely hard to move past. His assertion that 5 rings beats 1 is not only truthful but intriguing.

I’m feeling like Kobe Bryant today, uninspired! Last night Kobe, who is averaging 20.7 FGA per game attempted only 8 shots and aborted 7 of them. That means he missed 7 of 8 in case you’re trying to do the math. Reverse psychology! Not really. Anyway, while Kobe was busy day dreaming about Jason Kidd’s ex-wife, Antawn Jamison stepped up with 19/10/1 and 2 threes in 33 minutes...
