“The reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated.” – Kobe Bryant circa last week, er, Mark Twain
Ok Kobe – you’ve cleared it up for all of us (or at least the folks over at ESPN). You are not the 7th best player in the NBA. Now feel free to start passing the ball again to the most dominant twin towers in the NBA. If you decide not to, expect the following to happen:

LOS ANGELES They're not exactly the new kids on the block, but the Los Angeles Clippers claimed a piece of downtown turf Saturday night.
They don't own LA. The town still belongs to the Lakers and Kobe Bryant, but the Clippers made it clear they're not pushovers anymore. Staples Center belongs to them, too, and they intend to protect it.

Really Kobe? Really? I mean what does Kobe Bryant have to prove at this point in his career? I don’t know what point Kobe is trying to make but he has now scored over 40 points in three straight games this week. Sheesh! It’s not like we don’t already know that Kobe can score on anybody in the league when he feels like it but I guess he felt the need to remind us of his awesome...

With Kobe Bryant on a roll for the past three games, including his 40-point streak. He has definitely been doin' work. Last night as the Lakers hosted the Clippers, it was going to be a big match-up, which will probably be known as the Battle of Los Angeles.With a new Clippers' squad, this was a team that can actually compete once and for all now against the elite Lakers...

Now, after a disappointing .500 start to the season, the Knicks are hoping Baron Davis can get...

While Kobe Bryant was shooting his way out of an early game slump on his way to 42 points on 28 shots, Chris Paul was slicing and dicing for 31 of his own on 22 shots. Paul was a monster against the Lakers, and the biggest reason that the Clippers walked away with yet another…

In the last 18 months, the Knicks have added Amar'e Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler to their roster.
Given the results they generated last season and the hype they generated during the truncated run-up to this season, you wouldn't imagine that the Knicks would be looking for another savior quite so quickly. And yet, 13 games into this season with a 6-7 record...
