Interesting, humorous slant on telling Kobe he looks
like a baby on the court when he whines
about every call.

David Neiman takes a look back at a
feature he wrote in 2002 for the Washington Post
on Kobe Bryant, and how things have changed for him since then. The path to leadership and true MVP play hasn't been a straight one for Bryant, but he's making it happen for this year's Lakers.

Phil Jackson has won nine NBA championships with
the triangle offense.After all, Tex Winter, Jackson’s mentor and
assistant coach, has developed what he calls the “sideline triangle” over six decades in coaching. Winter has put ...

Despite the Lakers’ strong 21-5 start, there has
been one negative development that appears worthy of concern.
No, it’s not the recent lack of 20-point victories (although the lack of defensive intensity since the first 10 or so games has ...

It’s been mentioned once or twice that the
NBA West is pretty good this year. All nine
potential playoff teams have at least some chance to win the whole thing, but almost all of them have some flaw that makes their defeat possible, even in the ...

Critics of the trade have never confronted the
salient question, which is this: In cutting ties with
an aging free agent catcher in favor of a young Top 20 starter entering his prime, isn’t it just possible that Paul DePodesta had enough foresight to recognize a 2008 spreadsheet opportunity when he saw it in 2004? Isn’t it foolish to pass judgment on a long-term move in the short-term?

If Massachusetts is a key state in the
upcoming fall presidential campaign and Barack Obama is looking
to make an impression, he might think about putting Ray Allen on the ticket. Seriously. I made a visit to Boston last week to catch Game 2 of the ...

It seems like every 7-10 days, the Clips
throw a press conference to announce a new player
(or, as I view the event, feed me free sandwiches). Three weeks ago, Eric Gordon took the podium. Then came Baron Davis. Yesterday was Marcus Camby’s ...

After some tense negotiations, the Press-Enterprise is reporting
that the Lakers and Sasha Vujacic have come to
agreement on a deal. Three years, fifteen mil, a yearly salary somewhere in between what Vujacic was reportedly seeking and the Lakers ...

It turns out the Dodgers weren’t the only
ones making noise in Los Angeles in an effort
to turn the page on recent failures. And while Joe Torre’s colossal introductory press conference ruled the national news for a couple of days, the ...

Steve Kerr appears to be a man intrigued
by contrasts. As general manager of the Phoenix Suns,
Kerr has a garage filled with Ferraris to which he’s just added a Mack truck of a Diesel, rumbling menacingly and belching dark smoke. Add Tex Winter to ...

The disaster that is the 2007-2008 Los Angeles
Clippers season actually began last year, with the devastating
knee injury to point guard Shaun Livingston, and continued into the summer when All Star forward Elton Brand blew out his Achilles heel ...

The Lakers first heard it during the 2000
playoffs. The coach beat his tom-tom and chanted on
home game days. The instrument had routine purpose in the lives of the Native Americans, and Phil Jackson was determined it would have the same for his Los ...

Their jet was sitting on the runway Tuesday
afternoon while the Los Angeles Lakers ran through one
last practice at their gym in El Segundo, and they still hadn’t figured just how they were going to match up against the Boston Celtics in the NBA ...

You love his length, his versatility, his perfect
basketball body. You admire his humility and humanity. You
see his old-school selflessness on the court, how he passes first and prioritizes his teammates, how he deflects credit and accepts blame, and ...

You wouldn’t think a man who seems to
have everything would need anything. You wouldn’t think a
man loved by millions might need a friend. Kobe Bryant has oodles of talent, tons of money, a pretty wife, beautiful young family and the ...

In the winter of 2006, Ned Colletti and
Bill Stoneman independently decided that the Dodgers and Angels
needed a pricey center fielder. Ned collected Juan Pierre while Bill went for Gary Matthews’ junior to fill the hole. When the baseball world ...

Did you get the memo? It’s Lakers vs.
Celtics for the 2008 NBA title. For the 11th
time. Purple and gold vs green and white. The old schooliest of old school rivalries. The Big Three vs…. what exactly do you call Kobe, Pau, LO, and the ...

The L.A. crowd has always been laid back,
but as I looked around Staples Center in the
third quarter of Game 3 of the NBA Finals, I had to ask myself, “Did they pass out quaaludes as the promotional freebee tonight?”The difference in ...

Man, them Clippers are busy little beavers this
summer. Their latest transaction involves a point guard exchange,
one that will send Brevin Knight to Utah for Jason Hart. Hardly a deal that will set the NBA, the Pacific Division or even Staples Center on fire, it’s nonetheless a sneaky good little move for [...]
