I’ve spent lots of time in the past researching teams, players, and the entire league trying to determine which bets are most reliable. I have spent plenty of money betting on the lines for many teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers. There are a few valuable lessons that I would like to share with you if you plan to bet on sports. Don’t bet on your favorite team. Your passion and lo...

Now that it’s official and we are all fully aware that Kurt Rambis is heading over to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Lakers.com has provided us with a few great quotes from current Lakers representatives.

You may remember an article I wrote a while back about Kobe Bryant’s official website. The media ate it up and published it all over the web. Titled “Kobe’s People Have Lost their Mind” I wrote about the changes that were made to KB24.com. When the site was launched years ago, it included a blog and forum that was free and gave all the Kobe Bryant fans the chance to follow ...

Kurt Rambis has reportedly reached an agreement to become the next head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

As a Lakers fan I haven’t been too inclined to follow the career of Stephon Marbury in the past. I’ve spent the last week following along with Marbury’s twitter account and even watched a few hours of his live webcam show the other day. What came next caught me entirely by surprise. A few friends invited me to go play some volleyball the other night at the Taft High School gym. I...

In the blogging community it is quite important to keep in touch with your colleagues, especially the guys that cover the same team/sport as you. Since I started LABallTalk almost two years ago, Kurt of Forum Blue and Gold has been considered the Godfather of Lakers blogs.

IT’S A DONE DEAL!! The Lakers are back to being the overwhelming favorites to repeat as NBA Champions next season. You better go ahead and bet online for them to repeat. After acquiring Ron Artest earlier in the Summer the Lakers drama began. Contract disputes between the Los Angeles Lakers and Lamar Odom lasted over a month.
