After being traded to his fourth team in three years, Shannon Brown may have finally found a home. The Charlotte Bobcats traded him and Adam Morrison to the Los Angeles Lakers halfway through the 2009 season, but this time he may actually stay with the team.
Brown stepped up the 2009 NBA playoffs and made significant contributions off the bench while Morrison continued to ride the pine.
Phil Jackson certainly had confidence in Brown’s play. And the Lakers‘ owner took notice. As a result, Brown will receive a two-year, $4.2 million contract with the second season at his option. If he wants …read more

The Boston Celtics pummeled defeated stomped on the hearts of the LA Lakers and their fans last night. They didn’t just win last night and take home the NBA Championship. They completely embarrassed the LA Lakers D-league team. Wait…that’s wasn’t the D-league team out there? Oh well, CONGRATULATIONS BOSTON CELTICS!
But now that the NBA season is over we’ll move onto baseball. So let’s see, what’s been happening there lately.
1. Willie Randolph was fired the other day as manager of the NY Mets. And his replacement, Jerry Manuel, lost his debut. Just another day in the Mets clubhouse.
2. The NY Yankees …read more

Sunday night the Lakers prolonged the Finals by beating the Celtics 103-98. The above video features Kobe and the rest trying to do what they can to get it back to Boston. Speaking of Boston, Perkins was injured on the bench. Resting. They say he is questionable for game 6. Oh well. Doubt Boston wanted to win that game anyway. No they didn’t throw the game but after what there fans have gone through, you win at home. What better than to win the championship in front of the home crowd? Or what better than for them to collapse and …read more

No Powe show here. The Celtics stopped playing with less than 30 seconds to go as the Lakers went on to win Game 3 87 to 81. Why no foul there Celtics? Why just let the clock run? Anxious to get back to your hotel room? What? I’m curious.
Kobe Bryant looked a bit like Kobe Bryant here. Guess there’s no place like home. 36 points for him. And for his free throws? More than Game 2 at least. But what’s up with the misses? 11-18 won’t cut it every time.
Sasha Vujacic had 20 points. The Lakers starters, outside of …read more

Really thought we would talk about something else tonight?
Leon Powe went crazy in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Being featured during the halftime show just wasn’t enough for him. He scored 21 points and was the star of the game. Sure that we didn’t miss any of it but if you need a refresher of his Poweness, view the video.
I just have one questing for the Lakers. WTF were you doing during that last highlight? Standing around while Powe just waltzes to the rim? Where you in awe? Just wondering.

Let The Conspiracy Begin!

Well, maybe not a conspiracy. But think about it. Who really wants to see the Spurs back in the NBA Finals? I personally don’t care, I’ll watch it anyway, but David Stern would not be happy. After this intriguing NBA season, everyone would love to see a Lakers vs. Celtics Final. But would it really be bad to see the Spurs vs. the Pistons?
Everyone woke up this morning thinking about that “no-call’ at the end of Game 4 in the Western Conference Finals. You didn’t? Liar. Speaking of…Kobe said it wasn’t a foul. So did Derek Fisher. Even Gregg …read more
