Kobe Bryant can do many amazing things on a basketball court.  He’s one of the best clutch time performers in the NBA and has gone as far as giving himself the nicknameof: The Black Mamba.  Well in this clip he displays his Bruce Lee skills by kicking Tony Allen in the throat/neck area on the [...]

Doc Rivers must be really pissed off. Here's what he had to say about Derek Fisher's defense on Ray Allen: "Derek? What, besides flopping, he doesn't do a lot extra. He plays hard. He's been in the game long enough to understand. I thought he got away with a lot last night. I thought there [...]
