I lost my hero— someone I looked up to since I was a kid. Someone who taught me that hardwork trumps talent because if you want to be great in a particular area, you have to obsess over it. Someone who cultivated the whole Mamba Mentality philosophy— the mantra that I’ve adopted into my daily…
Today, I woke up to the the craziest news that LeBron James has agreed to 4-year, $154M deal with Lakers. LeBron James is a Laker. Let. That. Sink. In. LeBron motherfucking James is a motherfucking Laker. Holy shit! It’s been hours and I’m still wrapping my head around the fact that LeBron is a Laker.…
Screw LeBron’s “coming home” party, Kobe’s back. Tomorrow marks the start of the NBA 2014-2015 season and Kobe’s first NBA game since Dec 18, 2013 against the Memphis Grizzlies. (Fun fact: Ed Davis was still part of that roster and now he’s with the Lakers). Aside from Davis, Lakers have a lot of new players…

(News link: Lakers trade Steve Blake to the Warriors) They are both bench players from the Warriors averaging 2.6 ppg (7 games in GSW and 2.1 ppg in 2…
The thing that separates fair-weather fans from true fans is the ability to stick with the team through adversity. No ifs, no buts. TRUE FANS STICK AROUND. BANDWAGON FANS The other kind of “fans” which are infamously called bandwagon fans are those who will fade into the darkness and probably root for a winning team…
Pau Gasol is the best teammate anyone could ever have. He is not your typical alpha male NBA superstar but he gets the job done. He can even be your friendly scapegoat in case someone from your team screws up. He is the perfect complementary player to Kobe Bryant who is notoriously known as someone who’s “tough to…
Kobe’s back and the Lakers went 0-3 with him on the lineup. Fortunately, the Lakers won against the Bobcats today. Barely. The game was close.
