Via Deadspin: Kobe Bryant thinks he's bigger than the mayor of Los Angeles. And you know what? He's right. Divas don't share the spotlight with anyone. L.A. somehow scraped together enough cash for a victory parade this week, but it started an hour late. Whence the delay? A catfight between Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (best known [...]

I submit to you that this here is the most ridiculous product ever in the NBA team store. It's not because it's Kobe (but that doesn't hurt).  No… this is the most ridiculous product ever in the NBA team store because it's a LIFE-SIZED bobblehead that costs $13,000! Is this an "only in LA" kind [...]

This video has nothing to do with anything other than it's cute, it's relevant, and it was passed along to us by KWAPT.  The real purpose of this post is to let everyone know that we'll be doing a call in show Wednesday night at 9pm… and WEEI's Jess Camerato will be our guest.  How [...]

I can't find any Celtics news…no rumors, no speculation, no nothing. In fact, the big headline around the league is that Mark Jackson might be the next coach of the Timberwolves. I will miss his analysis and Kobe foot rubs on ABC. While every purple-and-gold fan west of the Massachusetts border continues to bash us [...]

I've been looking for an easy way to highlight how much Kobe Bryant is in this for himself, and the rest of his team is a vehicle for his own selfish means… rather than a group of brothers-in-arms.  Thankfully, Kobe made it especially easy today. Yep… while everyone else wore shirts that had the whole [...]

From some dude named Woelful at the Journal Times (Wisconsin): At least one well-informed NBA informant insists that Lakers coach Phil Jackson will hang up the clipboard this summer and his successor could be Duke's Mike Krzyewski — especially if his highly-influential agen (Kobe Bryant) puts the heat on Lakers management. Wouldn't this be fun? [...]

California's finances are a complete mess.  Everyone everywhere is broke.  So there was some concern about having enough money to cover the costs of a Lakers championship parade.  But private donors have stepped in. LOS ANGELES — An aide to City Council president Eric Garcetti says private donors have agreed to cover all of the [...]

Congrats to Kobe, Pau and company. Bryant's performance and hunger reminded me of Lisa Leslie's first WNBA championship with the LA Sparks. We'll be taking the trophy back next season. I couldn't stomach the last few minutes of this game, but I gotta know one thing; did Kobe fake cry during the post game interview? [...]

I know this might come off as a defense of Kobe Bryant… and I guess it sort of is in a way.  But one thing that I can't stand even more than Kobe is the knee-jerk reaction to something like the game he had last night. Take, for example, Bill Plaschke… who writes this today: [...]

I've made no secret about it… I want Marcin Gortat on the Celtics.  Don't get me wrong… I'm not pretending that he's going to come here and give us 20 and 10.  He's a good back up that can give us some quality minutes.  But the legend of Marcin Gortat continues to grow.  The latest [...]
