To get 30,000 points, man … it's just an unbelievable accomplishment. “It's good to say you played in a game with a great player, probably the best player in my era that I've ever seen.

Looking Back On My Favorite Of Kobe’s 30,000 Points

As you know, Kobe Bryant joined an elite group as the Lakers defeated the Pelicans on Wednesday night.  With his driving score at the 1:15 mark of the second quarter, Bryant became the NBA’s fifth 30,000-point scorer, putting his name among the likes of Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, Wilt Chamberlain, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.  Pretty special company for one of the most remarkable...

Awesome Los Angeles Lakers PhotoShop

I pounded on the Lakers yesterday, and I mine as well do it again. After all, I’m not a huge Kobe Bryant fan nor do I pretty much like anyone on the team. Dwight Howard, the whining baby who wanted out of Orlando, and Co. deserve this sh$t. Thanks to TerezOwens for the picture….

Obviously, being dragged into the Dwight Howard saga--and eventually trading for the center-- along with trading for Steve Nash and firing head coach Mike Brown after just five games are just some of the...

Full-Court Press: NBA's big men off center

This was the summer of the center, even the summer of the centers. In the NBA today, it's so rare to hear centers, plural, for there to be so much discussion of big men, period, and so there was reason to think that it might carry over. Dwight Howard was shipped to the Lakers, Andrew Bynum to the 76ers, and there was reason to think that Howard might be the missing piece in the...
