This past week Kobe Bryant joined the Mount Rushmore of NBA scoring by surpassing Wilt Chamberlain for 4th all-time. Coincidentally, Bryant also broke Wilt Chamberlain’s Philadelphia area high school career scoring record where Bryant finished at 2,883 points compared to Wilt’s 2,252. Chamberlain still holds a one-up on Bryant, having the most points scored in …

Team Kobe or Team Dwight?
Nothing says drama like Dwight Howard, or Kobe Bryant’s relationship with a teammate for that matter. There could not be two more dis-similar players in the NBA and in retrospect the fact that we thought they’d mesh is rather stupid of us. Kobe is a ruthless, cold-blooded player who only cares about winning at all …

Cheshire Cat Shoes Kobe Edition
I haven’t purchased a pair of basketball shoes in a long time and while cruising Nike.com I had a brilliant idea. Michael Jordan had a thing with Bugs Bunny, Kobe Bryant has an annual Christmas shoe in relation with the Grinch, so why not create mine with my favorite fictional character? The Cheshire Cat… The body …

The Association – February 19th
Sometimes sports never ceases to amaze me and yesterday was no exception thanks to the NBA. OKLAHOMA CITY How do you not start in Oklahoma City? Kevin Durant was a joke last night. He dropped 51 and would’ve gone for 60 had Russell Westbrook been a little less trigger happy in the 1st Half. But it’s …

NBA 2011-2012 Season Preview
An Ugly NBA Lockout. A resulting 66 game season. Stern’s CP3 Trade debacle and yet here we are hours away from the start of the season on Christmas Day. I’m not going to say all is forgiven with the NBA with me, but I feel like I’m getting over it. Chris Paul was finally traded …

10 Years, 10 Memories
Today, June 17th, is the date of my 10 year high school reunion. I’m not going for a plethora of reasons the most obvious is that I’m 3,000 miles away and refuse to spend money to fly across country to see a bunch of people I have no interest in seeing. But I digress, it’s …

Lakers vs. Celtics Recap
True or False: The Lakers are undefeated when Kobe Bryant scores +40 points this season? Answer: False. They’re actually 0-2. Yesterday they essentially got run out of their own building by a Celtics team at full strength. The Lakers looked slow and soft something that has been a recurring theme the past 3 seasons during …

Hating This Player and The Game
I’m always open to both sides of any argument. I will hear both sides, not always agree with them but will always allow the opposite opinion to be spoken. With that said below is a post from my buddy Adam’s facebook wall hating on Kobe. Everyone knows that I am a Kobe fan. Let me …

Saving a Legacy
(I’m going to comment on Spike Lee’s Kobe Doing Work Documentary separately-let’s differentiate fantasy from reality) 7 game series against a Yao-less, T-Macless Houston Rockets team? A pair of completely embarrassing road losses and a legacy hanging in the balance. Kobe Bryant has been less than stellar in close out games in the post Shaq …

61*
I don’t think there has ever been an NBA Superstar as big as Kobe Bryant that creates polar opposite reactions from fans. You either hate him or you love him, there is no in between. Watching tonight’s game vs. the Knicks was no exception to the rule. There were Knicks fans that were chanting MVP …

MVP #1A and #1B
It took me a very long time to try and decide who my winner for this year’s MVP should be. I know the award is based on regular season accomplishments but I had to see Chris Paul and Kobe Bryant play a Game 1 to see if my decision would be swayed in any way. …
