Kobe Bryant tweaked his back the second play of the game Sunday in Utah and is currently getting ready for Wednesday's game 5 against the Jazz at Staples. It appeared to be a minor strain that got considerably worse as the game wore on.Too many Laker fans think this is extremely bad news, but to   more...

Ok, so me and and my friend at school, (Big UPS Corey) have had some pretty intense arguments about who's the best player in the NBA right now. I am on the Kobe side, as he is my favorite player and has been for as long as I can remember. He's on the LeBron side obviously. Now Corey isn't the most   more...

ESPN announced late Friday, early Saturday for those on the east coast, that Kobe Bryant is this year's NBA MVP. It's been a long time coming, and no one can say he doesn't deserve it. Congrats, Kobe.

ESPN has reported that Kobe Bryant will be given his first MVP award today. I don't think anyone doubts Kobe's talents. In my mind, he's one of the greatest players of all-time. The trickier question is whether his transformation over the last few years is real. Has Kobe really changed and does   more...

Who da thunk? After incessantly trying to whine his way out of Los Angeles this past off-season – as I've documented thoroughly - who da thunk Kobe Bryant would be awarded the NBA MVP award for 2008? Still in a purple and gold LA Laker uniform, no less? Certainly not me. I would love to see those   more...

The Sports Muffin gives its take on LeBron's performance in Game 1 against the Boston Celtics:I argued a few days ago that Lebron James should have been MVP instead of Kobe Bryant. During game 1 of the second round against the Celtics Lebron did everything in his power to make me look like an   more...

Philadelphia fans are known to be brutal. Throwing snow balls at Santa Claus, booing their franchise players, and cheering when opposing players get injured are just several infamous occasions in which the City of Brotherly Love didn't live up to its name. But that's nothing compared to the   more...

Los Angeles Lakers athletic trainer Gary Vitti has been mailing it in for years now, much to the detriment of his team.

It seems more evident in this year's NBA playoffs that the stars are being more and more protected. Look at the amount of fouls LeBron and Kobe get called in their favor, and look at how many of them are actually fouls. That "flagrant 2" by Darius Songalia was bs, as was the fact that Kobe went to   more...

Neither an injured Kobe Bryant nor a healthy Chris Paul could lead its team to victory today, as both the Utah Jazz and the San Antonio Spurs evened up their series with the Lakers and Hornets. For the Lakers, Lamar Odom and Derek Fisher played well, but the Jazz were perfect from the charity   more...

Vladimir Radmanovic: good shooter, horrible defenderLuke Walton: poor shooter, good defenderIf you combine the strengths of these two players, you have a pretty good small forward.

No, we aren't kidding. The only question is, who's to blame? Ballet practice or klepto Lindsay Lohan?

First things first. I can find no fault in anyone selecting Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul or LeBron James as NBA MVP. Apparently, the Lakers star will have the award bestowed upon him later today (nothing like suspense, eh?)...
