Kobe Bryant Gets a NBA BIG Commercial: “Forever Kobe”

Two things stand out about this commercial immediately.  Mos Def music and the fact that Kobe gets a NBA Finals commercial while his team is eliminated and he is out for some time following surgery.  Agree with the timing or not, the dunk you see happened in the 2002 Finals and is one of the most iconic in Kobe’s illustrious career.  Well done by the NBA.   [Los That Sports...

Latest NBA rumors: Dwight Howard likes the Warriors

Ladies and gentlemen, the Dwight Howard sweepstakes have reached a critical point in their level of annoyingness: even teams without cap space are now rumored to be destinations. That latest team to throw its proverbial hat into the ring or at least into the rumor mill is Golden State, a destination that looks far more attractive after its playoff run this spring and with its...

Phil Jackson thinks D’Antoni choice was hilarious

via ESPN You really can’t beat the poise of the Zen Master..nor his pride. Phil Jackson has unleashed a plethora of controversial statements. We will always listen to a man with 13 rings (two as a player). That achievement demands an audience, and ensures that his statements will be published and quoted around the internet, even when he’s ranting. While there is some substance...

Phil Jackson on coaching Shaq and Kobe: ‘Hardest challenge’ in 20 years

It is amazing how little Phil Jackson revealed throughout his twenty years of coaching. Once in awhile, there would be a snippet here and there in the media of the legendary coach trying to antagonize the refs, or prod one of his star players, but rarely did he admit to the difficulties of all the personalities he had to deal with, especially Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal. But...

Kobe Bryant Tweets Picture of Self in Hornets Hat in Honor of Charlotte Name Change (Photo)

Ah, the summer of 1996 seems so long ago. At this point it’s a footnote to a Hall of Fame career, but remember that Kobe Bryant was once (very briefly) property of the Charlotte Hornets. The story goes that the Lakers and Hornets worked out a trade the day before the 1996 NBA draft, and that Los Angeles told Charlotte to select Bryant with their first-round pick at the very last...

Report: Phil Jackson Angling to Get Back With Lakers Through ‘Flirtations’ With Other Teams

All these nibbles from lesser franchises may come with a bigger goal in mind. Despite Jackson saying on “The Tonight Show” that...
