Kobe Totally Messes With ESPN's Newsroom
Sometimes we find ourselves so caught up in this world of professional athletics that we forget one of the fundamental tenets: There's rarely much reason to pay attention to what an athlete says. Kobe Bryant is preternaturally skilled at the sport of basketball; this does not mean anything he says h...
Kobe Bryant, All About The DRAMA
We have a hard time firing ourselves up about front-office intrigue, mainly because it's usually just people posturing about money and "respect" and all kinds of silliness. But we have been enjoying this Kobe Bryant and the Lakers business, if just because it's not every day that a guy who was once ...
Kobe, Carmelo, Iverson ... Exit Stage Left, Please
Before last night's Suns-Lakers Game 5, Henry at True Hoop looked at just how much the Lakers would change in the offseason if they lost, which, of course, they did. So now it can start. Trade Kobe! For Shaq! Or whatever: We can't imagine Phil Jackson will enjoy being a part of this for too much lon...
Lakers Make It Just Interesting Enough To Ultimately Disappoint
In a way, we kind of agree with what Free Darko wrote in their playoff preview for us: This could end up being the one playoff series in which, if the Lakers lose, Kobe Bryant might get a pass. But he's not gonna be able to pull it off if the Lakers, you know, actually make it close. A four-game swe...
This Is A Nice Little Sunday Night, Yes?
Phil Jackson was right. It was hard out there for a pimp, and it was also pretty hard out there for any Los Angeles Laker not named Kobe Bryant to touch the goddamn basketball down the stretch of that game. I think Sasha Vujacic's hands are going to be permanently frozen in the "ready to catch" posi...
Open Thread: Suns Vs. Lakers
Somehow, this manages to be an intriguing series, despite there being really only one possible outcome. It's overwhelmingly likely that the Suns will beat the Lakers, since all those animosity and bad feelings are probably going to go to waste....
Free Darko Playoff Pants Party: Suns Vs. Lakers
Because we feel that no one understands the NBA more like the way we wish we understood the NBA than the gang at Free Darko, we've asked them to write up previews of every playoff series throughout the postseason. It will help us understand what's at stake in each series, what matters, what it means...

Vladimir Radmanovic: Good At Telling The Truth, Lousy At Snowboarding
This is so cute. Lakers forward Vladimir Radmanovic going to miss about eight weeks of action because of a separated shoulder, an injury he attributed to slipping on some ice. That wasn't the truth, though. And the nagging pangs of guilt brought on by his dishonesty finally got to be too much for hi...
