Kobe Bryant

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.

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).

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…]

Clippers crush Lakers in free agency

July 11, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Los Angeles will always be Laker Town for the simple fact that there have been 11 championship parades held in Tinseltown and more than a dozen banners and retired Lakers jerseys hang above Staples Center. However, the argument could be made that this offseason has been dominated by the other team in L.A.: the Clippers. … [Read more…]

Should Lakers use amnesty clause on Kobe?

May 1, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

The Los Angeles Lakers completed a very difficult season in a most embarrassing way by getting swept out of the playoffs by the San Antonio Spurs.
