Let’s be honest. The only thing better than the sports themselves sometimes is the drama that comes along with them. Not only do most of us invest the majority of our spare time in consuming the in game action of professional sports, we try like hell to absorb and revel in all of the trade gossip, team squabbles, and motive speculation that is associated with the athletes in those respective sports. So when the juicy rumors and scandalous drama off the court intersect with the player performances on the court you’re left with some amazing mixture of sport and soap opera that entertains you to no end. It’s like manna from heaven. It’s like having your cake and eating it too. It’s like Kobe Bryant delivering one of the greatest death stares to a coach that everyone speculates will be fired before season’s end.
I absolutely LOVE this Kobe Death Stare story. If you haven’t heard by now, the Los Angeles Lakers are 1-4, sitting in last place in their division, and certainly not where th...

Phil Jackson Seen In Los Angeles ‘Sporting a Mustache,’ Proving Coverage of Lakers Debacle Has Gotten Out of Hand
We can understand the excitement at the prospect of Phil Jackson returning to the bench for the Lakers. The fastest way to exorcise the failures of the recent past is to try to recapture the greatness of the not-so-recent past, and Jackson and the Lakers had a lot of success during their on-again, off-again marriage from 1999 to 2011, even if the marriage was not always a serene...

With Brown out of town, its time for Phil to swoop in again
With the biggest news of the week in the NBA coming out of Los Angeles in the firing of Mike Brown as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, one has to wonder who will inherit the “Super Team” of Nash, Kobe, Pau, and Dwight. I bet we can hardly count the free agent coaches out there with our fingers and toes that would chomp at the bit to coach a starting unit like that; but lets...

Phil Jackson Decision on Lakers Coaching Job Expected Monday, With Hall of Famer Not Sure He Wants to Return
Phil Jackson has known for months that he wanted to coach again. Mike Brown was quickly removed from the Lakers job once a suitable testing period (five games) had been completed. Kobe Bryant wanted Jackson’s return. Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol and Steve Nash would be lifted to their full potential just as soon as Jackson, who was about as sure to take the job the minute it opened...
Bloopers from LeBron James and Dwight Howard
Two of the best players in the NBA had embarrassing bloopers last night.
Although the Miami Heat crushed the Brooklyn Nets and LeBron James had a monster game; I am sure his teammates got on him for his missed dunk attempt.
The Lakers are 1-4 but more embarrassing last night was Dwight Howard’s free throw. He air balled it. How do you shoot an air ball when you are a pro and have...
New England Patriots WR Brandon Lloyd jumps over MobiSquad Smart Car
Now after the original video with Kobe Bryant came out, it has been well-documented that this stuff is fake. They CGI the car into the video, and the athlete is merely jumping in the air. That being said, Lloyd shows off an absolutely insane vertical; it actually looks like his vertical is high enough to actually jump over the car, which is amazing.
Kings-Lakers Preview
While rumors continue to swirl about the possible return of Phil Jackson to the bench, the Los Angeles Lakers are keeping their focus on trying to move past their slow start.
