Kobe Bryant

Gridiron gang: NBA stars who could play in the NFL

September 8, 2015 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Basketball players have been referred to as the greatest athletes in the world. In the NBA, you see superbly conditioned athletes soar to the basket and throw down rim-rattling dunks or muscle past two or three defenders. Sometimes we marvel so much at these super beings that we, as fans, wonder how pro basketball players … [Read more…]

Kobe Bryant: ‘I’m just like everybody else’

February 24, 2015 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Kobe Bryant is one of the most polarizing figures in sports. He’s part Michael Jordan, part Alex Rodriguez. No player in the NBA fills both ends of the spectrum like Kobe Bean Bryant. He plays the hero and the villain better than anyone. When Kobe finally decides to hang up his Nikes, it’ll be a … [Read more…]

Lakers can relate to Democrats

November 4, 2014 by Joel Huerto 1 Comment

The look on Kobe Bryant’s face said it best. After dropping a game to the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night, Bryant walked off the Staples Center court shaking his head and looking dejected. His Lakers fell to 0-5. It is the worst start in Lakers history since the 1957-58 season when the team was still … [Read more…]

Scott believes Kobe could average 22

October 8, 2014 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Kobe Bryant’s first shot attempt of the 2014-15 NBA season was an airball. It wasn’t the type of result you’d expect from one of the 10 best players in the history of the basketball, but he is human after all. He played just six games last season because of a knee injury, and the year … [Read more…]

Who deserves to be in 2014 All-Star game

January 23, 2014 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

The voting process for NBA All-Star games is far from perfect, but usually fans get it right. This year, they struggled a bit. If we’re handing out grades on how the fans did on voting for the starters in the 2014 All-Star Game on Feb. 16 in New Orleans, they should get a D for … [Read more…]

Kobe shows flashes of his old self

December 15, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

The Black Mamba still has a little venom left in him. Kobe Bryant came into Saturday’s game averaging 28 points per game against the Charlotte franchise (the highest against any team in the League). And he certainly didn’t disappoint as he scored 21 points to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to an 88-85 win over … [Read more…]

COMMENTARY: Kobe is not worth $48M

December 3, 2013 by Joel Huerto 1 Comment

Kobe Bryant signed a two-year extension to stay with the purple and gold on Nov. 25, and the deal was a reported $48.5 million. Kobe had 48 million reasons to be thankful on Thanksgiving. But I have to wonder what the Lakers were thinking. Jim Buss reportedly gave him the offer and Kobe just accepted … [Read more…]

Kobe being smart with Achilles injury

November 5, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Patience is not something you normally associate with Kobe Bryant. He’s a win-now type of guy, and for him time is of the essence. But recently he seems to be surrendering to the fact that his repaired Achilles tendon is far from being completely healed. Bryant was asked by Ernie Johnson on NBA TV’s “Game … [Read more…]

NBA’s best perimeter defenders

September 18, 2013 by Joel Huerto 1 Comment

The Glove. The nickname fit Gary Payton like Isotoners. He got his nickname “The Glove” when Payton’s cousin called him during the 1993 Western Conference Finals series against Phoenix and told him, “you’re holding Kevin Johnson like a baseball in a glove,” and the nickname was born. The only point guard ever to win the … [Read more…]
