For those of you that frown upon anointing greatness upon a still up-and-coming amateur baller, while they are not yet a finished product in high school, one might change their opinion upon watching the most recent highlights from South Carolina freshman sensation Seventh Woods. The still only 14 year old elite level prospect has been [...]

Kobe Bryant made a guarantee to the media, his teammates, and the organization. That guarantee throughout the Lakers regular season struggles was ‘don’t worry, we’ll make the playoffs’. Skeptics thought there was no way in hell the Lakers would make the playoffs in the tight Western Conference, but the team played great down the stretch [...]
