World Peace a challenge in LA

When it takes a Kobe baseline jumper and a five-second violation for the Lakers to pull out a last-minute victory against the Raptors, you know things aren't going well for the Lakers. Kobe, Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum are playing really good ball, but past that the team is playing pretty poorly. Their fourth highest paid player is Metta World Peace and he is having by far his...

Kobe Bryant’s Top 5 Game-Winning Shots In The NBA

What was my first thought after seeing Kobe Bryant wet that baseline fadeaway to beat the Raptors yesterday? He did it again. And that’s not to say I was expecting it.

Lakers on the road to a better away record?

They won three and they lost three. So what was the verdict for the Lakers' season-long six-game road trip that ended with a 94-92 victory in Toronto on Sunday? "Could've been better, could've been worse," Lakers forward Pau Gasol said. The Lakers came into the trip 2-7 on the road, so going 3-3 is in that sense a major step forward. But at 5-10 on the road...
