In the 2008-2009 NBA season, six or seven players have made themselves strong candidates for MVP recognition, and of that group, three have been determined the most likely to win the award. They are LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat, and Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers. Now,…
Brought to you by the guys at www.Lakers101.com. Kobe Bryant is currently 8,609 points behind Michael Jordan – if he can average 28 ppg, he will pass him in 307 games or 3.7 seasons. Kobe Bryant continues to inch toward Charles Barkely on the all-time scoring list. He is on pace to pass the loveable NBA legend…
Love him or loathe him, any time the words “Kobe Bryant” comes up in conversation (virtual or otherwise), you are bound to elicit more than the solitary disinterested comment. No other current NBA star elicits the same full spectrum of emotions that Kobe Bean Bryant does.
Unequivocally and undeniably, LeBron James has become the face of the NBA. The coinage of his nickname “King James” has led to innumerable gimmicky ESPN commercials and gaudy magazine ads. His spectacular dunks and raw physicality have made him an immediate fan favorite for the kids, while his…
Know this: Regardless of who receives the award, Kobe Bryant is now and has been the most valuable player in this league for years. However, as many of you are aware, and as Bryant has been a living testament to, this does not necessarily translate into receiving the official title. As of late, the MVP race…
The NBA All-Star Break has arrived, but for the Los Angeles Lakers, it might as well be in their rear-view mirror. Phil Jackson’s team became the last in the Association to enter double digits in the losses column against the Utah Jazz, 113-109. The defeat sapped away any momentum the Purple and Gold had coming…
Now that Kobe and company have dominated the two best teams in the East, the doubters are quiet. Experts were saying that the Bynum injury might cost the Lakers the championship again this year. But this Lakers team has stepped up and showed you this is not the same team we saw get smacked around…
Three Championship Rings? Check Reigning MVP? Check 81 points in a single game? Check The most points ever scored in Madison Square Garden? Check Gold Medal? Check Ability to take over the game? Check Best closer in basketball? Check Are we still going to argue who is better, Kobe or LeBron? I mean come on…
Just when I thought that I couldn’t possibly write any more words, when I thought I was burned out after producing three full-length articles in a week and wouldn’t even try to muster another one for at least another week, Kobe Bryant dropped 61 points on the Knicks in New York and left me no…
No doubt about it, both Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are the real deal. We have witnessed Michael Jordan-like maneuvers from both of these players. Behind-the-back passes, the no-look pass, the windmill, the reverse jam, the in-your-face dunk, the fade-away jump shot with a hand in the face, and of course the clutch shot at…
Kobe vs. LeBron. The debate could go on and on. Sure, both of them came straight out of high school, but how else do they compare Well, certainly not in their hype coming out of high school. Kobe Bryant was drafted in 1996 with the 13th pick by the Charlotte Hornets, and was later traded…
