Just a few weeks after winning the NBA Championship, Jordan Farmar is taking on a new game. He has been invited to participate in the World Series of Poker Main Event. After starting with 10,000 in chips, the latest count during day two shows Jordan with 160,000 in chips. This is quite impressive for a man who claims to have never played poker before. Before we get into the poker life of Jordan Fa...

The people over at Fox Business Network were kind enough to send me this interview with Kobe Bryant conducted earlier today to share with all of you. Kobe was asked questions regarding various aspects of his life today including the championship, his relationship with his daughters, his thoughts on Michael Jackson’s passing, and of course, the plug time for his new watch line produced by Nub...

For my first post in god knows how long, I’m here watching the game breaking down specific plays and analyzing their effects. Lakers win the tip and push the ball inside to give Bynum a chance to get going early. Pau Gasol is called for a three second violation, which has been happening far too often recently. The Lakers need better communication in the post between the bigs to make sure th...

Pau Gasol has been selected as the Western Conference Player of the Month for the month of February. The award is presented by Kia Motors and Gasol really did everything necessary to earn it in February. By taking over in the time that Andrew Bynum went down, Gasol has helped the Lakers go 11-3 and improve their standings in the Western Conference. The Lakers have really played on a different leve...

This week has been the toughest thus far for the Lakers post Bynum injury. They won 11 of their first 12 without the big center but have hit a wall. They have lost their last two games to the Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns. Kobe and Pau have played solid throughout all this however the bench has not been as successful. The Lakers role players have really struggled over the last few games and have...
