De France Los Angeles Lakers 5-time champion, 14-time All-Star, and 2-time Finals’ MVP Kobe Bryant has said repeatedly this season that he wants to go out winning a 6th NBA championship. But how can that happen with this Lakers’ team, one of the best defensive teams, one of the worst [...]

May 13, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors After being eliminated by Miami just a few days ago, all signs pointed to Doc Rivers returning as Celtics coach. Well, that was just made official.
