Prior to Game 5 of the first-round series between the defending NBA champion and top-seeded L.A. Lakers and the eighth-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder, Kobe Bryant was asked by one of the reporters if the Lakers felt that their backs were against the wall.

After winning his third consecutive NBA Defensive Player of the Year award, Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard has clearly established himself as the best stopper in basketball.

IS THERE TROUBLE IN LAKER LAND?

April 23, 2010 by Joel Huerto 2 Comments

Trouble in Laker Land? If you decode Phil Jackson’s recent comments after Game 2 of the Lakers’ first-round series against Oklahoma City, you get the sense that there is a certain discord between the Lakers coach and superstar Kobe Bryant.

2000-2009: THE DECADE OF SHAQ AND KOBE

February 13, 2010 by Joel Huerto 1 Comment

I can’t believe it has been 10 years since Kobe Bryant set up Shaquille O’Neal with that memorable lob pass in Game 7 of the 2000 Western Conference finals that resulted in a earth-shaking one-handed slam dunk that changed the landscape of the NBA and ignited one of the best runs in league history.

BRYANT: CAVS ARE ‘A LITTLE HUNGRIER’

January 23, 2010 by Joel Huerto 1 Comment

LeBron James won Round 2 of his showdown with Kobe Bryant, and I have a funny feeling it won’t be the last time we’ll see those two dueling on the basketball court this season. LeBron James scored 12 of his 37 points in the fourth quarter as the game turned into a playoff-style, possession-by-possession struggle. … [Read more…]

BLOCK OF THE YEAR: TURIAF DENIES KOBE

December 31, 2009 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Kobe Bryant has been abusing defenders for much of his career. But last week against the Golden State Warriors in front of all his fans at Staples Center, Bryant felt a little rejected and it came from a familiar face.

ALL I WANT FOR X-MAS IS KOBE AND LeBRON

December 25, 2009 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Dear Santa: Last June, I was deprived of a Kobe Bryant-LeBron James matchup in the NBA Finals when LeBron and the Cleveland Cavaliers were unceremoniously dumped by the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference finals.

JACKSON CALLS KOBE ‘DIRTY’

October 17, 2009 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Apparently, Stephen Jackson is not done talking.

THE MICHAEL JORDAN EFFECT

September 9, 2009 by Joel Huerto 8 Comments

What would the world look like without Michael Jordan? For one, there would be no Kobe Bryant. Two, there would be no Dwyane Wade. And three, there would be no LeBron James. Greatness can’t be measured by statistics. True greatness is defined by a player’s legacy. Michael Jordan’s impact in the sport can be seen … [Read more…]
