Anthony Davis is Already Getting too Big for his Britches (VIDEO)

The Power of the Uni-Brow will Defeat Kobe!

There is something to be said for having confidence in one's ability. Soon to be New Orleans Hornets star Anthony Davis has every reason to be confident as he prepares to embark on his NBA career, but he may want to watch what he says--at least until he is actually on an NBA team.

The Kentucky star needed a little encouragement and prodding from host Dan Patrick, but eventually admitted that he's looking forward to playing Kobe Bryant so he can see if he can shut him down.

At this time, I will be setting a reminder in my iPhone calendar for whenever the 2012-13 season schedule comes out. I want to be sure and mark my calendar for when the Lakers and Hornets play. Kobe is going to school this kid and then shave his uni-brow after the game.

Lakers in for a Rough Off-Season

Los Angeles Lakers v Oklahoma City Thunder - Game Five

The season came to a rather disappointing end for the Los Angeles Lakers Monday night as a team that is accustomed to challenging for supremacy in the conference (let alone the league) was ushered out of the championship race by the Oklahoma City Thunder.

After a tumultuous season that saw the team undergo a number of changes, the Lakers were thoroughly outplayed by the young, up-and-coming Oklahoma City Thunder team it would not be shocking to see a different team take the court next season.

Blame Game Commences in LA

Lakers fans do have an excuse for how the first two games of their team’s Western Conference semi-finals series went. The Denver Nuggets pushed them to the brink; they were likely beat both physically and mentally.

Game Three’s win gave them hope that all will be restored to its natural state (with L.A. on top). For much of Game Four it appeared that the boys from Tinseltown were on the verge of tying the series at two games apiece and bringing sexy back to LA.

Kevin Durant had a different idea. His three-pointer with 13 ticks on the clock broke the tie and gave the Thunder the lead for good; final score--Thunder 103, Lakers 100.

Two games in the NBA Playoffs last night, and both of them could have seriously swung the momentum in their respective series. Boston bounced back from a home loss with a big road win, and the Thunder stole a victory from the Lakers.

Boston 107 - Philadelphia 91

After losing game two in Boston, the Celtics were hearing the whispers that maybe the upstart and 8th seeded 76ers could take this series. Not so fast. Boston came out strong and dominated start to finish. Kevin Garnett continued his surprising playoff run, showing there's plenty left in his tank. KG led the Celtics with 27 points and 13 rebounds, while Paul Pierce had 24 points and 12 boards despite a sore knee. This loss has to hit Philly hard, who figured to have momentum after a big win in game two in Boston. Now they're going to be feeling the 'must-win' pressure in game four, or face being down 3-1 heading back to Boston. Lakers Snatch Defeat From Jaws of Victory »

Kobe Bryant Does Not Like Your Question, Mr. Reporter (VIDEO)

Kobe Bryant doesn't like reporter's blunt question

Kobe Death Glare!

Kobe Bryant probably wasn't in a very good mood after the Lakers got blown out by the Oklahoma City Thunder last night. Still, being the Lakers' captain and star, Bryant did what's expected and spoke to reporters after the game. For a little while at least.

Things got a bit tense in the room when one reporter asked Kobe point blank if the Lakers could guard the Thunder. I suppose it's kind of a legit question, the Thunder had just unloaded for 119 points in a 29 point win, but Kobe was less than impressed by the question.

To his credit, Kobe answered it, but in a very Kobe way.

Typically for the Los Angeles Lakers the team goes how Kobe Bryant goes. Well, on Thursday night when the team was trying to close out its opening round series against the feisty Denver Nuggets, Kobe Bryant was so sick he was likely wishing he was anywhere but a basketball court.

Sure enough, the Lakers failed to close out the series; Denver won 113-96. Read More » »

Three games in the NBA Playoffs last night and they all lived up to the hype. The 76ers destroyed the East's number one seed, the Chicago Bulls, who were playing without star Derrick Rose. The Celtics took game two on the road in Atlanta, thanks to Paul Pierce, and Kobe Bryant led the Lakers to a 2-0 lead in their series with the Nuggets.

Chicago looked lost without Rose, who tore his ACL in the final minutes of game one and is out for the playoffs and beyond. Philadelphia seriously shifted the momentum with a 109-92 win in the Windy City, and the Bulls confidence might just be shaken enough that the eigth seeded Sixers could pull this series off.
