Is Kim Kardashian’s Best Friend The Reason For Kobe Bryant’s Divorce?
Kim Kardashian knows a lot about failed relationships, and it seems her bad luck is contagious. Not only does she know Kobe Bryant through his friendship with her brother-in-law, Lamar Odom, but she also knows him through his alleged girlfriend and her best friend Carla DiBello. According to Radar Online, Carla, 27, has been [...]
Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan are tied for No. 2 behind the world’s No. 1 golfer Tiger Woods on Forbes’ list of the world’s Best Paid Male Athletes.
Sports “experts†are quick to say that Kobe Bryant can’t be compared to Michael Jordan after failing to make the game-winning shot and turning the ball over at the end of the Lakers’ Game 3 NBA Finals loss to Orlando on Tuesday.
If Kobe Bryant delivers the Lakers’ 15th NBA title, he would likely be the NBA Finals MVP, which coupled with his fourth NBA championship ring, carries a lot more weight than LeBron James’ regular-season NBA MVP trophy.
Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony may be a little pouty, but he is not a sore loser unlike his 2003 NBA draft classmate LeBron James.
NBA players’ women provide courtside entertainment
This has got to be the most exciting NBA playoffs in at least a decade.
But the action isn’t restricted to the court. Apparently, the sideline has its own sideshow, and I don’t just mean celebrity sightings of Jack Nicholson, Justin Timberlake, Will Ferrell, Denzel Washington, Terri Hatcher, Tom Cruise and Mrs. Terminator Maria Shriver.
The players’ mates and moms are creating excitement.
Former Lakers general manager Jerry West injected himself into the debate of who is better: current NBA MVP LeBron James or last year’s MVP Kobe Bryant.
And West surprisingly switched sides and went with James, the former No. 1 overall pick out of a Cleveland high school. West brought Bryant to Los Angeles in 1996 after trading Vlade Divac to Charlotte for the Philadelphia high school standout.
West is credited for assembling the Lakers’ four NBA championship teams in the 1980s and the franchise’s three consecutive NBA champions from 2000-2002. The 70-year-old former All-NBA guard and former Lakers coach said that James can be “the greatest player ever to play the gameâ€, even greater than Michael Jordan.
If you’ve watched the Lakers in the playoffs, you’ve noticed a kissing bandit that confronts L.A.’s star guard Kobe Bryant as he makes his way through the tunnel to the team locker room at halftime and after the game.
The culprit is his wife, Vanessa. She kissed him during and after the Lakers’ 105-103 victory against Denver Tuesday night to open the Western Conference Finals. Bryant’s wife has made a halftime and postgame ritual of planting a smooch on his lips for years.
With only a two-day break after fighting off undersized and undermanned Houston in a fierce seven-game semifinal series, Lakers coach Phil Jackson said that his players are going to have to win on emotion when Los Angeles opens the Western Conference Finals against Denver tonight.
But if the Lakers are relying on emotion for a victory, I don’t like their chances.
Lakers guard Kobe Bryant admitted that “we’re bipolar†after struggling with the Yao Ming-less Rockets, and NBA analysts Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith said the Lakers have half-a—ed their way to the Finals after dominating the West in the regular season to finish one game behind Cleveland for the best record in the league.
If you’re an NBA fan, you’ve had the debate with your friends.
Who is the best player in the league? LeBron, Kobe or D-Wade?
My answer is King James, and the populous thinks so too because the Cleveland forward received 109 of 121 first-place votes to be crowned the NBA’s Most Valuable Player earlier this week. Bryant won his three championship rings on the shoulders of three-time NBA Finals MVP Shaquille O’Neal before the big man left the Lakers to help Wade win Miami’s only NBA championship in 2006.
But LeBron James can distinguish himself by being the catalyst to Cleveland’s first NBA title.
