I Love this Post


Behind the Box Score, where we saw the beast in Bryant

Los Angeles Lakers 126, New York 117 

What can we say about Kobe beyond what we tried to scrawl down last night? I'm just pleased beyond belief that I get to witness two different players in my lifetime with the work ethic, drive, and talent that Bryant and Michael Jordan possess.

That's the thing that links these two. It's not the haircut, it's not the shoes, and it's not the fadeaways. The thing about MJ that Kobe so closely approximates is that willingness to work harder and care more about the final outcome more than anyone else in this league. Nobody even touches Kobe when it comes to preparation, and diligence, and appreciation for the craft. It's not even close.

The game, besides Kobe, was quite fun. Los Angeles' defense made a point to get out on shooters, but they also let some stray Knicks get away long enough to miss some open shots (Al Harrington, 2-6 from long range), or have several rim in and out (Chris Duhon, 1-6).

And in the fourth quarter, with the Kobester on the bench, it was Pau Gasol (31 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, two blocks) and Trevor Ariza (13 and 8 off the bench) that helped the Lakers sustain that lead. Pau may have had the best game of his career, my eyes immediately boggle upon seeing his line in the box score, before moving upward to see that "61" and thinking that someone may have typed the wrong number in.

Then you remember that Kobe played last night, and it all makes sense.

Hilarious... This is going to be my kid.

My friend Omir sent me this. I thought this was hilarious. This is definitely going to be my kid.

An elementary school teacher in Boston explains to her class that she is a Celtic fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Celtic fans. Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says, "Mary, why didn't you raise your hand?"
"Because I'm not a Celtic fan
," she replied.
The teacher, still shocked, asked, "Well, if you are not a Celtic fan, then who are you a fan of?"
"I am a Lakers fan, and proud of it," Mary replied.
The teacher could not believe her ears.
"Mary, why are you a Lakers fan?"
"Because my mom is a Lakers fan and my dad is a Lakers fan, so I'm a Lakers fan too!"
"Well," said the teacher in an obviously annoyed tone, "that is no reason for you to be a Lakers fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mom was a prostitute and your dad was a drug addict, what would you be then?"
"Then," Mary smiled, "Then I'd be a Celtic fan".

From the President

No caption needed. He says it all.

The Hobit is Back!!!

Jordan Farmar made his comeback tonight in the Lakers victory against the Spurs. He put up 14 points and 2 assists, not to shabby for 8 weeks off from a knee injury and a surgery.

ARIZA!!!!


My man trev is really going off this season. He is becoming the spark we need off the bench. While his athleticism and ability to get the basket is great, his defense is what has stood out to me most this season. My grandad gave him the nickname "the theif" because of how many steals he has been getting lately. That says nothing about all his hustle plays he has had this season, where he has made plays where there seems to be no play. Keep it up Trev. I say he makes one of the defensive teams this year.

How bout those Lakers!

This is a new season and my Lakers are off to a great start. We are currently 31-8 and on top of the Western Conference. Way to go guys. The big three are really living up to all the hype, and much props goes to Lamar for coming off the bench and leading that second unit. I'm expecting nothing but great things this season!

We Made It!!! The MVP Award Finally in the Right Hands


Kobe finally what he has long deserved: The NBA's Most Valuable Player award. I must say watching the press conference brought a tear to my eye. Kobe has deserved this award for a long time now. The league has finally done him justice. Kobe was quite modest when he said he thought he would never receive this award. I would turn from the NBA and watch European basketball if he never earned a MVP award in his career. This is just a start to many more. Congratulations Kobe you deserved nothing less. And as Kobe said in the press conference, "We made it!"

Most Hated Great Player


Kobe Bean Bryant, AKA The Black Mamba, is the best player in NBA and has been for the past four years. His critics (haters) can argue all they want, but when it comes down to it he is the best. I say he is the best not just because I am a die hard Laker fan, and because he just so happens to be my all time favorite player. I say it because he has paid his dues to start earning some respect. I would definitely have to crown Kobe the most hated great player.
There are few players in the NBA who can play the same way on both ends of the floor. There are even fewer players who have offensive skills that can come close to those of Mamba. Lebron James is a great player, but when it comes down to pure skill and being able to score anywhere on the court at anytime, Mamba has it. Mamba has been elected to the all defensive team seven times in his career. King James has yet to make an appearance. Mamba has also been on the all NBA team the past nine seasons. He has yet to see an MVP trophy, but that will change by the end of this season.
I don't need to bring up the 81 points he scored Toronto nor do I need to bring up the month he carried the Lakers on his back and averaged 50 points per game that month. All his great performances speak for themselves. You can say he was a ball hog, he played Toronto, or whatever you want, but in the end he did what he had to do to take his sub par team to the playoffs in the western conference. 
Many also criticize him as a leader and teammate. That is one thing I feel we cannot do because we are not in that locker room. From what I have seen Mamba has done what he felt was necessary to make his team better. He has always been outspoken about what he wants. It is no secret that he wants another championship and will do anything necessary to get another. He is a competitor. As a Laker fan I respected him when he demanded the trade. Yes I was hurt, but I understood where he was coming from. Upper management was really slacking and doing a sub par job at building a new team. That hurt the Lakers as a dynasty. Once he started making demands though, things started happening fast. Now look at the Lakers: battling for the number one spot in the western conference after barely making the playoffs the last few seasons. Keep in mind that Kobe has put action to all the talk he put out there too. He is doing his job now that he has an adequate team to support him. He is playing through injury and still doing whatever is necessary to make his team win.
As I conclude I just want all the Kobe haters to think. Think of why they hate him. What has he done that was so wrong? Yes he has made some bad personal decisions, but who are we to judge. Especially since he is not the only to make a mistake like that; he is just one of the few to get caught. Nevertheless it does not take away from his skills as an athlete. He didn't let that bs trial affect his game. He is the greatest player in the NBA right now and needs to start getting more respect point blank.
