Kobe simply willed the Lakers to victory, scoring 14 of the Lakers last 19 points of the game to finish with 31 (along with 7 rebounds and 6 assists). And he did it every which way imaginable, from deep threes to acrobatic lay-ups - Kobe would not allow his team to lose. That's what MVPs do.

After defeating the Lakers, the team that was tied with them, the Rockets stand alone at the top of the west, winning 104-92.

Line of the Night: Only 3 games yesterday, but one of them was the epic showdown between the Nuggets and the Warriors for the 8th playoff spot in the West (using the current exchange rate, that roughly translates into the 3rd seed in the East). So, it's only fitting that Carmelo Anthony (6.0) wins   more...

Wow...That's all I could say when watching this... That's all I wanted to say in this post, but my description has to be at least 150 characters long... Soooooo... Wow...Lol...

I agree with Marinman in principle. Drafts overrate players based on abstract earning potential. But thumbsdown does present a good point. Here's the All Star team for Top 5 draft picks since 2000:G: Chris Paul, Dwayne WadeF: LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Carmelo AnthonyC: Yao Ming, Dwight   more...

The blowback from the unofficial, yet obviously done, Kevin Garnett deal is going to reach all the way across the country to Los Angeles. The Lakers, the jilted lover in this situation, have yet to do anything to make Kobe Bryant happy. Remember all of Kobe's bluster and idiocy about wanting to be   more...

Throughout the Kobe/Lakers summer drama, we've all just been waiting for L.A. to rope a star, a perfect running mate for Bryant to make a move on another championship with.

Real quick take on the game: Agent Zero dropped 60 - with 27 free throw attemps - with 8 boards and dimes. Kobe dropped 45, 10 assists and 8 rebounds, but he got little help. Walton had 15 points and 11 points, but he fouled out.The Lakers played absolutely no defense, and in the overtime session,   more...

Just finished watching the Suns v. Lakers, and it was obvious that this game meant everything to the Suns. If it wasn't obvious in the two losses they had at the hands of the Lakers, it was ever so clear in a win over L.A. . While the Lakers went deep into their bench the entire game, playing   more...
