This might not be a surprise, considering I’m writing this for a Chicago-themed blog, but despite Kobe Bryant’s heroics in this year’s playoffs, I still don’t think he’s in the same league as Michael Jordan. Put the comparisons to bed — as far as I’m concerned, Kobe still has a long way to go before [...]

Some one needs to ask Mr. Simmons who on the Lakers can guard Rondo? Or KG? Or Pierce? I know that Kobe is borderline unstoppable but I don’t think Derek Fisher’s old legs can stay with Rondo. KG can jump over Gasol. There aren’t 3 guys in the league that can guard KG. And if [...]
The last time Kobe Bryant was playing in the finals; he was the Crown Prince of the NBA. At 25 years old; he was a three time champion, and even changed his game a little as the Lakers had added Karl Malone and Gary Payton in hopes of securing another title. The year prior he [...]
Most are picking the Lakers to win the big NBA Finals. I’m not so sure. If Kobe Bryant struggles against the Celtics like he struggled against them in the regular season, the championship banner will belong to Boston. The Lakers are so heavily reliant on Bryant that any reduction in his play could be fatal [...]

TNT and ESPN/ABC are getting amazing ratings for the Playoffs this year and a lot of people (including myself) are wondering why. Sure having the Lakers and Celtics playing helps, but the numbers the Association has been pulling in are astronomical. TNT’s game 4 of the Spurs-Lakers series pulled 5,394,000 households, up 49% compared to [...]
A plethora of technical issues will prevent much discussion (’round here, anyway) of the end of the nasty Spurs dynasty , but on the sociological front, Fox Sports’ Professor Jason Whitlock claims “there’s one issue driving improved ratings that likely won’t be touched by all the NBA talking heads on TNT and ESPN. Tattoos. Or [...]

I think that Whitlock has a good point. The NBA needs to clean up its image. However, ratings are up becasue the matchups are much better this year. It has nothing to do with player’s tattoos.

For the fourth straight time, the San Antonio Spurs will not repeat their Championship. The passing of the baton appeared very evident Thursday night, as the young Lakers squad upended the aging Spurs.

Basketbawful just mentioned this, so we thought we’d dig it up: It’s the old Kobe trashing Andrew Bynum video . (Forgive the histrionics at the beginning of the video; we’re not sure what that’s about.) Amazingly, it has been less than a year since the ridiculous Kobe Video broke; look at Kobe now. To this [...]
For casual basketball fans who stop by only in the postseason to get their taste of the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers made their four-outta-five domination of the defending champion (now ex-champion) San Antonio Spurs exceeding simple to understand. MVP Kobe Bryant played exceptional basketball, particularly on the offensive end and especially in the second [...]
Vince Carter (photo. Mannion) Public perception is a peculiar thing. In the annals of ballplayers who came into the NBA as highlight-makers who dunked on everyone in their path and lived in the lane, the inevitable point in their careers when they have to adjust and become jump-shooters is met with varying responses. Michael Jordan [...]
Don’t tell me when Shaq was first traded in 2004 you thought this team would be back to the Finals so soon. This season is a testament to the greatest player of the post Michael Jordan era. No matter how you feel about Kobe Bryant as a person, you can’t deny that this guy is [...]
