Kobe Bryant (photo. Chris Sembrot)
Along with embarrassing themselves in front of the whole basketball-watching world, falling into a 3-1 series hole that’s likely insurmountable, and proving they simply don’t deserve to win a championship, the Lakers also allowed John Starks some long-awaited absolution. By blowing a 24-point lead at home and losing to the Celtics [...]

Kobe: Part-time Owner of the Kings in 12 Years?

... (Is the world conspiring to make Sacramento blow its collective brain out this week? UGH. - TZ)
I just read this short article at Dime:
"With that in mind, however, we can all agree that as long as Kobe has a job, Ronny Turiaf will have a job. See, Turiaf is smart — he sees how Kobe emulates Michael Jordan, and he knows MJ makes a habit of hiring his best friends whenever he has hiring power. Turiaf is working his way in there to be Kobe’s Charles Oakley. Don’t be ...

Kobe Bryant is Hungover this Morning
emptythebench.com 6/13/2008 — Just when you thought Kobe Bean’s so-called badboy image had been swept back under the rug, the league’s MVP makes a confession about his post-game plans that are bound to reinforce the idea that he’s a flawed, hard-to-market superstar.
NBA Finals: Game, Set, Match? —
Intentional Foul
Wow. What a comeback.
That’s what I was left with last night after watching the Celtics climb out of holes that were, in some cases, 21, 24 and 20 points deep to capture Game 4 — and control of the series — 97-91. While the comeback was certainly one for the ages, Boston started the game like they wanted to be back on the east coast. They ended the first quarter ...
Rapist Vs. Worse Than A Rapist —
The Money Shot
***Disclaimer: I wrote this piece before game 4 last night. Or as I like to call it, "the worst single game choke in the history of sports". Nice job, Lakers and especially Kobe. You just lost a title because you couldn't guard Eddie fucking House or James fucking Posey. This hurts even more knowing that the Cavs could have beaten these green pricks. Dammit. Nice job losing to Doc Rivers. ...
Harder to Swallow: Lakers Choke or ‘Hitch’ Praise? —
SPORTSbyBROOKS
It’s difficult to decide what’s the hardest to believe from Thursday night:
• Kobe Bryant had no buckets in the first 2 quarters.
• The Lakers still managed to be up by 18 at the half.
• The Celtics went on to win the game anyway .
( We must protect this Eddie House ! )
After building a 21-point 1st quarter lead - the biggest in NBA Finals history - it certainly ...
Kobe Bryant is very, very, very drunk at this point —
The Sports Culture
Paul Pierce hammered Kobe Bryant on defense in the second half of Game 4.
Now, as the nightlife in Los Angeles begins to pick up on Thirsty Thursday, just a few hours after the big game, Kobe is getting hammered by shot glasses and a 36-pack of Bud Light.
Maybe in the process of his binge alcohol consumption, Kobe won’t choke the way his Lakers did with a 24-point lead in a pivotal ...
