What is an NBA fan to do when his team of high-priced underachieving superstar players is on the verge of getting swept right out of the first round of the playoffs?

Stat Line of the Night — 4/17/2013 — Pau Gasol
The Lakers entered their season finale on Wednesday not knowing whether they would be taking part in the 2013 NBA playoffs, but a loss by the Utah Jazz assured them of at least the eighth spot in the Western Conference, and a victory over the Houston Rockets later that night was enough to bump them into seventh.

Taiwanese Animation Studio NMA Is Proclaiming the Death of Kobe Bryant’s Career (Video)
Nobody ever likes to see pro athletes suffer serious injuries, but it’s always worse when those athletes are in the latter stages of their careers. If it’s a 24-year-old, chances are he’ll recover just fine. But a 34-year-old? You just never know. Chances are the guy’s abilities were already in decline, even if only slightly. [...]

It’s no secret that the Los Angeles Lakers have had a really tough year, despite making some pretty significant offseason additions in Steve Nash and Dwight Howard. It’s also no secret that, all things being equal, the NBA would really, really like to have both of L.A.’s basketball teams in the playoffs. However, what if [...]

Kobe Bryant on Ankle Sprain: Dahntay Jones “Jalen Rose’d me” (Videos)
On Wednesday night in Atlanta, Kobe Bryant missed a game-tying two-pointer from the baseline that cost the Lakers the game. However, much more painful than the loss to the Hawks was the fact that Kobe suffered a severe ankle sprain on the play. And this isn’t a regular old severe ankle sprain. It’s a controversial [...]

Stat Line of the Night — 3/12/2013 — Dwight Howard
Nothing seems to motivate a basketball player quite like playing on the road against their previous team in front of the fans that they used to call their own. We’ve seen Vince Carter do it to the Toronto Raptors. We’ve seen LeBron James do it to the Cleveland Cavaliers. And last night, it was the [...]

Stat Line of the Night — 3/6/2013 — Kobe Bryant
Kobe Bryant went into last night’s game against the New Orleans Hornets with a nagging elbow injury. He came out of it with one of his most impressive performances of the season.

Prior to yesterday’s NBA match-up between the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers, Mavs owner Mark Cuban suggested that the Lakers should consider using the amnesty clause on Kobe Bryant.

Mic Catches Somebody Calling Somebody Else a “F–king A–hole” at the Lakers-Clippers Game (Video)
I would never have imagined myself saying this, but athletes are going to have to start watching their language. It’s not that I’m easily offended by a little f*@&ing curse word here and there. I really have no problem with guys competing hard and expressing themselves while doing so. But we all know that American [...]

Will Ferrell Works Security at the Lakers Game, Ejects Shaq from Staples Center (Videos)
I’m going to go out on a limb and say Will Ferrell is probably the biggest sports nut in Hollywood. On what do I base this claim? Oh, just the fact that we can’t go more than a few months without the guy showing up at some sporting event or another. Last winter, for example, [...]

Kobe Bryant Plays Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” on Piano (Video)
