Kobe at it Again? Somebody get This Brotha a Onesie
“Kobe Bryant’s wrath hasn’t just been felt by the front office this season. His poor teammates have certainly not been spared, according to Nick Young: Nick Young shares Kobe Bryant’s recent trash talk: “I don’t talk to players on teams that are 20 games under .500.” – Excerpt courtesy of SlamOnline.com I wrote an article on Bryant last season questioning whether he was a good teammate or petulant whiner. Well he’s at it again, this time chiding his teammates for having a losing record. I’m not going to go into another Kobe rant but that quote says it all right here.

Lord of the Rings: Phil Jackson a Legend or Lucky S.O.B.?
“This year there’s no maybe” was Phil Jackson’s answer heading into the 2010-2011 season when asked if it was his last year ever since The LA Lakers single-handedly embarrassed him on his way out of the NBA with their uninspired play and unprofessional conduct on the court (Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum both being ejected).

Kobe ‘Bean’ Bryant is an extremely talented player, has won many accolades, and is a lock for the Hall Of Fame. He has a silky smooth jump shot, athletic drives to the basket and sometimes he’ll surprise you with a rim rocking…

What If – The Sports Scenarios we’ll Never Know
I’m sure there are many sports fans out there, whether you’re a casual fan, a rabid hard core fan, or a “used to be” fan. And I can say there were a lot of heart breaking, soul crushing, gut wrenching moments where you did everything from bite every nail off your fingers relegating them to stubs, to praying and damn near swearing off sports altogether. I know your hometown team has probably been in the dumps for many years, or some have been riding high (i.e., the sports fans for the City of Boston has named themselves “title town” for their 7 sports titles from 2001-2011). Did you ever sit…
