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.

Will All NBA Stars Return if Euro-Stints Become the »

Deron Williams was the first big name to commit to Turkey, following Sonny Weems being the actual trend setter and signing a Euro contract.  Pau Gasol then committed to Spain and Dwyane Wade said he was considering going overseas too.  Joakim Noah committed to France. We saw Brandon Jennings do it for a year in lieu of attending college,
