Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant will be named MVP, according to a story in The Times.After leading the league in scoring the previous two seasons at 35.4 and 31.6 ppg, Kobe actually began to distribute this year and was second to scoring champion LeBron James at 28.3 this past regular season. He also averaged 6.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists.So after 12 seasons, Kobe will finally get his MVP — and it comes during the one year that he’d probably prefer an NBA title...
Eat a snail? Or eat a spider? Get punched in the nose? Or get punched in the nads? Face the Rockets? Or face the Jazz? The Rockets got the best of the Los Angeles Lakers this season. But the Rockets are a puzzlement, how on Earth did they win 22 in a row without Yao. With an amazing amount of guts. Tracy avoided his tendency to get injured, while pushing his team to victory. When his shots didn’t fall somebody else picked up the slack. Skip To My Lou...
Is it just me, or is there some ugly basketball going down in the Eastern Conference? Maybe I’m just blinded by all of the bad tattoos and hideous hairdos out East, where three of the four first-round series were still undecided heading into Thursday’s action. The series have been close, but the brand of basketball being played is anything but hair-raising. That being said, we bring you the first annual WCBias.com All-Postseason Hair Club for Men Team – a.k.a. the dudes with the worst...
The Worm is in trouble again after allegedly striking a woman at a Century City hotel in Los Angeles.Former NBA forward Dennis Rodman, who wrapped up his whirlwind of a career with the Lakers and Mavs, was jailed Wednesday for investigation of felony domestic violence and freed on $50,000 bail earlier today.His manager later told TMZ (and yes, I can’t believe I just cited TMZ) that Rodman grabbed and bruised the woman’s arm after the pair drank too much and argued. Prince said Rodman’s...
Dear Mr. David Stern,I know you’re busy this time of year with all of the playoffs and everything, but I was hoping you could answer me this one quick question: What in the hell, or in this case the Valley of the Suns, were you thinking having Joey Crawford officiate the San Antonio-Phoenix series? I know the story has been neglected by most of the writers on the pro hoops beat, not just the East Coast scribblers this time around, but have you forgotten,...
The Laker brooms came out and swept the Nuggets under the rug in Denver’s own house. The Lakes did have a tough battle on hand because they played average and the Nuggets played their best game of the series. But the Lakers still won by 6. A tribute to how good the Lakers are. So what do you do if you are a Laker fan? Throw up your hands and yell “Halelujah! We’re back!” Made it to the second round for the first time...
Tonight’s Suns-Spurs game reminded me of the Elks Lodge Hoops Shoot contests we used to compete in as a kid.You know, those cover-your-eyes free-throw contests where 8- to 10-year olds shanked free throws all over your rundown junior high gymnasium — lucky to hit rim on every other shot attempt.If you went 7 of 10 you were guaranteed a trophy twice your size and earned spot in the state shootout.The Phoenix Suns looked like a bunch of snot-nosed kids at the charity strip tonight,...
Former Indianapolis Pacers sharpshooter Reggie Miller didn’t make the cut for the NBA’s 50 Greatest Players in 1996, and it appears Cheryl’s little bro won’t be making the NBA’s 50 Greatest Color Commentators, either. Miller, now a color commentator for TNT, on LeBron James during the Cavaliers’ game against Washington on April 21: “Lebron is like a fullback. With a full steam of head, you’re not going to be able to grab him.” Check out WCBias.com daily for updates on your favorite teams.
