NBA: So Crazy It Just Might Kobe

What the 2013-14 NBA Season Means To Kobe Bryant's legacy
by Ace Feltman
Although Adam Levine of Maroon 5 and a bunch of Twitter users may object, the Los Angeles Lakers are not a title contender. They are not a threat and they aren’t going to make any noise this year, other than that “dun dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun” after a made basket. They still get some of those, Laker Nation!

NBA: 5 Things Learned From Watching Los Angeles Lakers vs Sacramento Kings

season in much different situations. Photo credit NBA 
While Kobe Bryant is trying every miracle of medicine to get back on the court as soon as possible, his teammates will start the season with pretty low expectations. The Kings, on the other hand, have much higher expectations with a secured building block player and a new ownership to help direct the project. A few realizations came to mind watching both teams play in Las Vegas, of all places, at the MGM, since both teams are gambling this season anyway.

Pau Gasol: Black Swan or Discolored Goose?


by Matt Silverston

The good news for Pau Gasol is that its already halfway through August, and the Lakers haven't started shopping him around the league yet (at least not openly).

The bad news for Pau is that the keyword in the previous phrase was "yet."

Kobe Bryant Done; Injures Achilles Tendon


The Los Angeles Lakers playoff chances to a major hit last night with Kobe Bryant going down grasping his ankle with 3:08 left to play.

The Lakers went on to win the game over the Golden State Warriors 118-116, but suffered their biggest loss of the season.
Kobe has been logging 46 minutes per night in the month of April. This had already led to placing the blame on head coach Mike D’Antoni, but injuries like this just happen.
Achilles injuries have ended the careers of Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal in recent history, but Bryant has always been a fast healer. Not fast enough to help the Lakers secure the playoff spot or even win a game if they do make the playoffs.
Kobe Bryant: “I was just hoping it wasn’t what I knew it was…I heard the pop.”
Kobe’s plan now: “MRI, surgery, and then recovery. It’s a new experience for me. Obviously, there’s been a bunch of players that have had the same injury, so, all I can do is look at them and what they’ve done and who had more success coming back quicker and healthier and see what they did and see if I can improve upon it.”
Kobe has been vocal this season about ending his career in 2014. This seems to make more sense now.
