What's Spanish for "Kobe ain't looking to relocate anytime soon?" While the events leading up to this sea change statement were anything but predictable, that Bryant now feels this way was about as easy to call as Denver eventually imploding during game 1. All kidding aside, where is Kobe gonna find as good or better a situation (and if this aspect is important to him, while making close to the same amount of loot)? Beyond that, Kobe does look happier than he's been in a long time. As well he should be. The season may have began looking like a Brothers Grimm story, but ...

This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship

Not that Kobe Bryant and the Lakers just made recent acquaintances, but considering how rocky the relationship had grown, any developments over the past season would basically qualify as being, at the very least, reintroduced. And Judging by Kobe's statements yesterday, he was impressed by Mitch Kupchak's handshake. Bryant said yesterday what Lakers fans have been dying to actually hear, that he's perfectly content to remain a Laker until he finally hangs up his sneaks for good. He also gave ...

Lakers Fans Treat Carmelo Anthony To "DUI" Chants

SbB posted 4/21/2008 from www.sportsbybrooks.com

Carmelo Anthony was treated to chants of "D-U-I" by the Lakers faithful during Sunday's Game 1. Well, that seems a bit extreme - much like Melo's intoxication levels when he was pulled over last week. Wonder if Nuggets fans will retaliate by chanting at Kobe during Game 3. Something about his sexcapades in Vail, perhaps?

Lakers defeat Nuggets 128-114 in Game 1

kcudah posted 4/21/2008 from www.denverpost.com

Kobe Bryant, the sleeping giant, was inexplicably irrelevant. It was the third quarter of the Nuggets-Lakers first playoff game, and the MVP front-runner had only four points, while his Lakers led by only six.
