YAYsports! NBA

With Jerry Buss coming out and admitting the Lakers will trade Kobe Bryant if they can get a good deal for him, our favorite place on the internet to ridicule is all aflow with rumors, speculation, incomprehensible essays on all thing Kobe, and assorted delusional madness.
Yes, Lakersground DOT NET is alive this week, and the […]

UPDATE: This appears to officially be a done deal.
Here in the doldrums of NBA summer, it’s nice to have a big old ongoing trade rumor allegedly turn into a piece of near fact.
According to places all over the place, Kevin Garnett to the Celtics is back on. Not only that - it’s supposed to be […]

Not to step all over Jack Cobra’s Friday toes, but we have to step in here and comment on two things - one on-topic, and one off.
First of all, the latest Kevin Garnett to Los Angeles rumor is as follows:
This rumor is flying around Celtic forums:
Wolves get: Andrew Bynum, Gerald Green, Theo Ratliff, Kwame Brown
Lakers […]

Well, free agents are officially allowed to sign today, and one of the people doing some signing will be former Jazz guard Derek Fisher, who will be going back to the Lakers for three years. They’ll be using their full MLE (mid-level exception) on the deal.
There’s no official word on this yet, but considering Lakersground.net […]

(Jack Cobra with my last post of the day. Enjoy your weekend.)
Answer A) speaks to the ‘Tony Parker’ who likes to spend time commenting on here when he’s not in jail for driving under the influence. Answer B) speaks of the San Antonio Spurs Point Guard who doesn’t miss lay-ups. Apparently it’s like a different […]

The NBA Draft is Thursday, and it’s debatable whether the big news is where Oden, Durant, the Chinese Guy, and all the rest will end up OR where the burgeoning cluster of tradable NBA All-Stars* fall to in the endgame.
Basically, you’ve got Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, Jermaine O’Neal, Paul Pierce, Pau Gasol, and Ron Artest […]

(This is where we would have a Photoshop of Kobe inside an Orange County strip mall gift shop, browsing Beanie Babies.)
The newest trend in NBA fandom/entrepreneurship seems to be “making your own underground Kobe Bryant controversy”.
To go along with the made-up rape book we covered the other day, a couple of mystery men in […]

(Jack Cobra here. I’m running on fumes coming back from a funeral. Talk amongst yourselves.)
Well…..it’s over.
I’m not even sure what to say. It was fairly evident that in this match-up the Spurs were the better team. I’m not sure if there was one category (statistical or made up) that the Cavs won. The Spurs were […]

(The Spurs beat the Jazz - move on to the Finals. Bleh.)
We don’t care what he said on Dan Patrick’s show (or various other shows) about reconsidering or how many times he goes back and forth on this - now that he’s officially on the record as saying he wants out, Kobe Bryant has to […]

Here is a little something for your afternoon/lunch reading pleasure while your significant other (that’s for you Boney) tries to figure out why you are going to watch the Mavs/Warriors game tonight instead of taking him/her out to eat. That picture to the left, compliments of Capt. Morgan, is a precursor of things to come […]
