Lebron James – Best Sidekick of all Time?
On Friday, Scottie Pippen was introduced into the basketball Hall of Fame along with Karl Malone, Jerry Buss, and the 1992 Dream Team. Pippen is most famous for his role as Michael Jordan's teammate in the Chicago Bulls' 6 NBA championships in the 90's. No one would argue that this wasn't Michael Jordan's team. It was his team and Pippen →
Shannon Brown stays with the Lakers
It's being reported on ESPN 710 radio that Shannon Brown has decided to stay with the Los Angeles Lakers. Our roster is complete and being an avid Laker fan I'm very happy with the Laker off-season. Even with the improvements Boston made and the talent that Miami assembled I think the Lakers are still the team to beat. The Lakers →
Lebron James Billboard near his home
Lol... remember all those billboards in Ohio begging Lebron to stay when he was a free agent earlier this summer? Well, check out this billboard that some group put up near Lebron's home in Akron after LBJ made "The Decision" to be part of Dwayne Wade's team in Miami:
NBA Basketball News and Updates
The Los Angeles Lakers have introduced Matt Barnes in a press conference earlier this week. Barnes is a terrific pick-up especially at the price the Lakers got him for. The Lakers could at most pay him $1.77 million this year and 2 million next year. Barnes turned down twice that from Cleveland. In perspective, Barnes was almost a Toronto Raptor →
Matt Barnes joins Kobe Bryant and the Lakers
Sorry this may be old news to many of you but I've been in Las Vegas the past several days and stayed away from the internet. I did want to add this news to the site though because I think this is a pretty big deal for the Lakers. Even though the contract isn't for much money and for only →
Welcome to the Lakers Steve Blake!
Ok, so we didn't get Raja Bell as I had hoped but I think the Lakers had a descent off-season. Yesterday, the Lakers formally introduced point guard Steve Blake to the organization. Let's not forget the Lakers also re-signed some key personnel in Phil Jackson and Derek Fisher. There's still 1 or 2 spots to fill out so maybe Mitch →
Raja Bell Signs with Utah Jazz
So the meeting between Kobe Bryant and Raja Bell didn't happen yesterday. Raja Bell received an offer from the Utah Jazz worth almost 10 Million over 3 years that he couldn't refuse. The most the Lakers could have offered was 1.77 Million. It looks like Kobe and Raja will go back to being adversaries. If there's a silver lining in all →
Kobe meeting with Raja Bell today
Kobe Bryant has a face-to-face meeting with Raja Bell today. If the Lakers somehow manage to sign Raja Bell I would grade their off-season a huge success. Bell is a tenacious defender and a terrific 3-point shooter. He's just what the Lakers need. His career 41.1% 3-point percentage would make him the best threat from downtown on the team. He →
Larry Bird gives his take on “The Decision”
I grew up rooting against Larry Bird. Even when he wasn't playing against my Lakers I rooted for any team that was playing his Celtics. It was a competitive thing. I saw him as the greatest rival to my favorite player Magic Johnson. However, I did very much respect him. I used to feel the same way about Lebron. Here's →
Derek Fisher returns to Lakers
If you follow Derek Fisher on Twitter you probably already know the good news. If not, here's what DFish had to say today: "My free agency was a time for me to reevaluate my position in the league, reflect on my accomplishments individually and as a teammate, and determine what new goals I want to achieve in the future. Many →
Brandon Jennings PWNED Lebron James on Facebook
Brandon Jennings has just become one of my favorite non-Lakers thanks to his following Facebook status update: "Never run away from your problems, man up. If it was easy we all would have a ring, Lebron did what he had to do I guess, should have been more low-key about it. He just affected alot of ppl in Cleveland, I don't →
Even Michael Jordan says Kobe is better than Lebron
Ok... after the LeBacle known as "The Decision" where Lebron James decided to join Dwayne Wade's team in Miami it is quite clear now that you CANNOT put Lebron James in the same category as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Kobe Bryant. That 1 hour self promo fiasco showed us the true colors of Lebron James. 1. He cannot lead →
Bosh joins Wade in Miami – Lebron next?
Big announcement this morning in that Dwayne Wade has decided to stay in Miami and he will be joined by fellow unrestricted free agent Chris Bosh. Speculation has Lebron James joining the two superstars to form a "Super Team" in South Florida. It's hard to imagine what would make Wade not take the Chicago offer. They already have a well →
Best moments of the 2010 NBA Playoffs. Boston sucks.
I can watch this over and over. One of the most memorable playoffs I've ever witnessed. Game winning shots, scuffles, monster dunks, Game 7 and most importantly... the Lakers winning it all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlVnoDGgA0o
Los Angeles Lakers – 2010 NBA Champions – Boston Sucks!
It's been a week since the Lakers won the Championship. I'm finally settling down emotionally after that rollercoaster of a series and game 7. I've got my 5th Championship Hat (this decade)... now I just need to go get me my Artest jersey. In a game where failure was not an option the Lakers fought and clawed their way to a →
Ron Artest Game 5 2010 NBA WCF: Where Redemption Happens
Yeah, I do tend to get pretty animated when watching Laker games. Especially in pivotal game 5's of a seven game series. Even when the Lakers had an 18 point lead I knew the Suns weren't going to go away. They kept hanging around and after an onslaught of 3 point plays (even 1 frustrating to watch 4 point play) →
Twenty Four
Twenty Four. The MVP wears it. Twenty Four. The Lakers led by that much during game 4. Twenty Four. I cursed at my TV at least twenty four times during the 3rd and 4th quarters. As a Laker fan this has been one of the most devastating losses I've ever witnessed. It is hard to believe even the strong willed →
