Kobe Bryant and the Two Extremes »

On Sunday night, in preseason action, the Los Angeles Lakers fell short in their game against the Sacramento Kings. This game was deemed as "important" by a large part of the basketball universe  because it was Dwight Howard's first game in the Laker purple and gold, so a ton of eyes were glued to NBA TV's broadcast of the game. Howard didn't

Dwight Howard’s Hollywood Premiere »

Wow. So Dwight Howard, the player I can't stand, the man who makes me sick to my stomach, played his first game in LA. Unfortunately he looked great. It was sickening. He played focused and hard and tried to put on a show. It's not surprising that he played hard cause he plays every game his hardest but last season there were times that felt he

Goodbye Dwight »

Goodbye Dwight Howard. The relationship is finally over. It's finally hit me, now that I've seen you on the bench in LA, that superman is out of Orlando. I want to say this is bitter sweet. I want to say that I'm gonna miss the good times with Dwight and that I wish we could rekindle the relationship. But I can't bring myself to it. Dwight getting

Why Dwight Howard will win MVP. »

Let me start off by saying I can't stand the Lakers and the amount of dislike I have for Dwight Howard right now can't be described in words. I've been a Magic fan for as long as I can remember and watching him get Stan Van Gundy fired, destroy the team, and then still leave. That angered me. That said I still know that Dwight is one of the best

Pre-Season Approaches! »

IT'S BACK! IT'S BACK! THE NBA IS BACK! Well kinda sorta. Training camps are starting up right about now and Pre-Season games start next week. I'm here to tell you what you should be looking for this Pre-Season/Training Camp in your team and players and if you should bother watching it in the first place. Always remember though  you can't gather

Dwight Howard takes out full page ad in the Orlando Sentinel

As many players before him have done, Dwight Howard took out an ad in the local paper thanking the team and fans that he had just abandoned. I have a feeling many of the fans don't feel the same way, with the upcoming Magic team predicted to do poorly at best. Either way it was a nice gesture, and hey, he cares about the kids!

Past Diary 2001 Western Conference Semi-Finals »

So my buddy on twitter posted that an old Western Conference Semi Finals game between the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers was on NBA TV. I didn’t have class for another few hours and I love watching these old classic games so I put it on. Midway through decided I’m going to do a past diary on it. Put on the Kings-Lakers game. These

Kobe is as Kobe does »

Kobe is as Kobe does

Kobe Bryant is kind of a spectacular person. No, I'm not talking about his moral or ethical views on certain things. None of that matters right now. This is meant strictly in a basketball sense. As you may have heard, in his latest "Kobe" antics, he scored 68 points in a charity game in China. Now, I know that since this was in a charity

How the Lakers should use Dwight Howard »

I know we're all sick of Dwight. I'm especially sick of him after he just finished destroying my favorite team; but I digress. The other day I was reading the Orlando Sentinel and a writer I greatly respect said Dwight had to get used to being the 4th option. Excuse me, but Dwight is way too good to be the 4th option. I've been watching the

Dwight Howard is officially a Laker »

Dwight Howard is officially a Laker

You might as well put the Superman cape on the back of Kevin Durant, because the Thunder might be the only team that can prevent another Lakers' dynasty. Dwight Howard was at long last traded to the Lakers from the Magic in a four team deal that also included the Nuggets and 76ers. Here's how the deal broke down: Magic acquired Moe
