Remembering No.9, Nick Van Exel
He was pre-Kobe with the Lakers but Nick Van Exel was the first of many cocky, arrogant combo guards that would shoot-first, pass-later and shouldn't be forgotten when many current players share similarities with 'Nick the Quick'. Van Exel was drafted by the Lakers in 1993 out of Cincinnati and was a starter with Eddie Jones in the Lakers back court. Van ...

It was an intentional elbow, make no mistake. There was absolutely NO WAY that Ron Artest/Metta World Peace couldn't have felt James Harden's presence. Harden was brushing into Artest slowly after Artest's bucket and resulting foul during the Lakers-Thunder game on Sunday.

Kareem Abdul Jabbar Not Happy With the Lakers
To say Kareem Abdul Jabbar has been unhappy lately with the Lakers would be an understatement. He feels as though he's been taken for granted and disrespected by the organization by not being immortalized in a statue outside of the Staples Center. Yes, he's upset about not having a statue. Seems a bit selfish to me, but I'm not the NBA's all-time leading ...

Round 2, Game 4 Recap: Mavs vs Lakers
Before this second-round series started, I don't think anyone-not even Dallas fans-expected it to turn out the way it did. A sweep for either team sounded like an almost impossible feat; that is until the Mavericks had the opportunity coming into Game 4 as they held onto a 3-0 series lead.
