What more do you need to read? It's freaking Michael Jordan playing against Len Bias! Ten minutes of classic video and a game report from Michael Wilbon. I've watched Mike's final dunk a hundred times now.

    This video is crazy.  It's nuts to think that Mike is my age there.  Len Bias would have been a hell of an NBA player.

    With MJ, Perkins, Daugherty, and Smith, that UNC team was a juggernaut.  Losing to Indiana in the Regional Semis was a Hoosiers-level upset.

    I remember seeing the news coverage of Len Bias' overdose when it happened, and it not seeming real. There's a guy who could have been on top of the world who had it all taken away.

    Drugs are such a waste.

    Awesome video, but I didn't realize color TV wasn't invented until the 90s.

The Lakers are 18-10, one game back of the vaunted Phoenix Suns (who the Lakers just handled nicely, thank you very much). Andrew Bynum is having a breakout year, Derek Fisher (with Jordan Farmar behind him) have been a huge upgrade at point guard and Kobe is being Kobe. Yet, last year the Lakers were 26-13 at one point, looked like a team on the rise, then a couple of injuries sent them ...
Will Laker Improvement Help Kobe Bryant to Win his First MVP?20 Second Timeout
On the surface, the MVP is an individual award but, as ESPN's Chris Broussard points out (subscription required) , team considerations factor in heavily because voters frown on selecting a player from a team that did not win at least 50 games; if that were not the case, Kobe Bryant would most likely have won the MVP the past two seasons. The 17-10 Lakers are on pace for about 52 wins, which ...

- 20.000 Punkte haben viele geschafft, allerdings war keiner schneller als Kobe Bryant: im Spiel gegen die New York Knicks stellte Bryant den Rekord von Wilt Chamberlain, der zum Erreichen der Marke 12 Tage länger brauchte, ein. Michael Jordan benötigte 204 Tage mehr, um die 20.000 Punkte zu erreichen. Allerdings dürfte Bryants Bestwert nur ca. fünf Jahre Bestand haben, denn LeBron James ...
