It’s been hovering over the Lakers since last year’s loss to the Boston Celtics in the finals. Are the Lakers tough enough? I think so, allow me to explain… Here is an e-mail I recently got from reader Greg: I saw how Boston and Detroit beat us, we need a foward with toughness and a bit of scoring to replace Radmanovic  someone like Haslem from Miami, or we will repeat last year...

Does Shaq realize that Lakers are the team he needs to be a part of? Does Shaq feel that he could’ve won more than one title if he was with the Lakers instead of with Miami?

As the Lakers go for a 7-0 start, they face the New Orleans Hornets, in New Orleans, who have every intention of breaking them down. The Hornets are looking like the 2nd best team in the Western Conference at the moment and want to make sure to provide the Lakers everything they can handle. My quick prediction: The Lakers will dominate this game by coming out strong and proving that they are the b...

For those of you who still haven’t seen this video, I apologize for posting a bit late. However, take the time to watch this as Kobe gives us some great insight to his future. ...

Due to various reasons for not having much time the past couple days, my birthday… I have been unable to post articles. Luckily, the Lakers have been vacationing for a few days and there really hasn’t been much news in the NBA besides Tony Parkers ankle sprain and the Allen Iverson trade.

When Andrew Bynum went down last season with his knee injury, the Lakers traded Kwame Brown and two future first round picks for Pau Gasol. That is the common misconception. At the time, the trade seemed completely lopsided and look...
