Los Angeles Lakers

With free agency only two weeks away, the Dwyane Wade Saga continues to develop. The Miami Heat have just been given another reason to be concerned about their beloved superstar’s impending future, as a new report is linking Wade with the Lakers. It’s hard to imagine Wade leaving the Heat to be quite honest, however, [...]

Nick Young will never ever forget this day. Ever. The Los Angeles Lakers’ guard celebrated his 30th birthday with a bang by finally popping up the question to his girlfriend and famous pop star Iggy Azalea. And of course, she said yes (per, Karen Civil): [tweet https://twitter.com/KarenCivil/status/605599263343509504] Congratulations to the happy couple! The two have [...]

After enduring two-straight grueling seasons, the Los Angeles Lakers and their fans have a lot of reasons to look forward to next season. Other than winning the No. 2 overall selection for this year’s NBA Draft, more good news recently was received by the Lakers, as one of their promising rookies Julius Randle, who suffered [...]

Whatya know: The whole “Kevin Love is going to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers in free agency” thing is still alive and well. As the Cavs inch closer and closer to an NBA Finals appearance, they have a lot on their minds. Game 4 against the Atlanta Hawks, for one. Kyrie Irving’s injury. What in the [...]

Love him or hate him, you’re going to miss something about Kobe Bryant once he retires, whenever that may be. Me? I’ll miss not only his late-career candor, but his uncanny willingness to address rumors head on, be it through the press or social media. Quintessential example incoming. Speaking on SiriusXM NBA Radio Friday, Los [...]

Kobe Bryant wasn’t just born with a Nike (or adidas) sneaker endorsement. There was a period before his signature like with the Swoosh that the Black Mamba was trying footwear options out. This latest Huarache release brings back those memories. Add this ‘Lakers’ Air Flight Huarache to the list of (formerly) Player Exclusive sneakers never [...]

Pat yourself on the back. Do the self-five. Pound your chest. Hell, play some pocket billiards if you’re into that sort of thing. You deserve it. Because the 2014-15 NBA regular season is over. And you made it. Now it’s off to the playoffs, which begin Saturday. And thank heavens for the brief respite in [...]

Byron Scott’s motto should totally be, “Why have three when you can have two?” The Los Angeles Lakers head coach has a well-documented and iffy relationship with the long ball. He’s on record as doubting the impact of three-pointers on championship teams. Ahem: [tweet https://twitter.com/BaxterHolmes/status/523211292081790978] One season and 61 losses later, things haven’t changed much. [...]

Byron Scott and Nick Young better make note. This is how you handle player-coach beef. Stan Van Gundy and Andre Drummond had something of a disagreement in the Detroit Pistons’ loss to the Boston Celtics’ on Wednesday night. Drummond was visibly upset and immediately isolated himself from the rest of the team. And at that [...]

Oh, look, it’s the Spurs. The time-biding, age-shirking, logic-looting, championship-chasing, demonstratively dynastic Spurs. Remember when we were worried about them? Yeah, me neither. Yours truly was never worried about them. Yes, I’m patting my self on the back. A few bold blockheads thought they were done. Believed they were finally too old. Could see injuries [...]
