Mambummed: Bryant feels his mom’s actions have added insult to the injury he has to deal with. Most of us will never know what it feels like to be a world famous athlete with hundreds upon millions of dollars. And most of us cannot relate to having the burden of being such with money grabbing family members. That is what L.A. Lakers superstar KOBE BRYANT is dealing with these days—besides a surgically repaired...

Long road ahead: Bryant ponders restoration of an Achilles that will challenge him like no other injury before. If you don’t know by now (you must live on Uranus if you don’t), KOBE BRYANT is the consummate professional. A man that puts his heart and soul—and then some—into his craft. So when Bryant decided to vent his frustration on Facebook to the social masses about the stark reality that his season (and possibly...

Bryant says he felt a pop in his ankle which signifies the end of his season and maybe the Lakers’ year as well. In the midst of a final playoff push, after a horrendous start to the year and subsequent season resurrection, the Los Angeles Lakers have likely lost the one player they could not afford to lose: KOBE BRYANT. Battling through injury and pain all season, Bryant fell to the court with 3:08 left in the fourth quarter Friday...

Gibson calls the play on Kobe very dangerous and believes it was one of Jones’s many tricks as a dirty defender. Much has been said about the DAHNTAY JONES play a few nights ago that left KOBE BRYANT with an injured left ankle. Bryant thought it was a dirty, dangerous play on Jones’s part and vowed payback on the Atlanta Hawks defender. Now Cleveland Cavs guard DANIEL “BOOBY” GIBSON gives his take on the play and...

Kobe clearly thinks Dwight Howard needs to have some Mamba in him when he takes on his old team Tuesday. Dastardly DWIGHT HOWARD makes his return to Orlando Tuesday when the Lakers take on the Magic at Amway Center in what Howard believes will be an emotional game. But according to Lakers beat writer Mark Medina, KOBE BRYANT wasn’t too thrilled to hear Howard say that, while offering his take on how Dwight ought to handle what...

The greatness of KOBE BRYANT was again on display at Staples Center Friday as the Black Mamba hits three nearly impossible 3-pointers down the stretch to lead the Lakers comeback and force overtime only to seal the game over Toronto with a two handed dunk with seconds remaining, giving Los Angeles another come from behind victory, 118-116… Bryant willed the Lakers back from an 11-point fourth quarter deficit with 41 points, 12...

KOBE BRYANT continues to astound in his old age. Sunday night, the Mamba drove the lane on Atlanta’s JOSH SMITH and pounded home a monster slam that rocked the capacity crowd at Staples… Bryant led the Lakers with 34 points and 10 assists as L.A. eked out a 1-point win, 99-98 to climb to .500 on the season. The Mamba apparently was spewing venom (aka saliva) as he was clearly fired up after hitting this buzzer-beater three to...

Cuban claims he was just using Kobe as an amnesty example but the Mamba made an example of his Mavs. There’s a reason why peeps that blow a lot of hot air have big mouths: That’s so they can appropriately fit their foot in it. That’s what Dallas Mavericks owner MARK CUBAN experienced after KOBE BRYANT mambatized his Mavs in Dallas Sunday following Cuban’s ill-timed remark that the Lakers should apply the amnesty...

D-Wade got jokes: Dwyane knows he can’t play the piano. He’s just mocking his Olympic teammate. The Miami Heat are in OKC tonight to take on the Thunder in a magnetic NBA Finals rematch just before the All-Star break. But Heatle DWYANE WADE was looking for ways to pass the time before the game so he settled on “working on his skills” at the piano, a not-so-subtle mocking of KOBE BRYANT. Wade tweeted this message and...

LeBron and D-Wade had Kobe seeing double Sunday. James had 32 points, Wade 30 in Miami’s win over L.A. In the aftermath of a humbling defeat in Miami, KOBE BRYANT manned up and answered reporters questions about the 107-97 loss to the Heat Sunday, what he thought about the Lakers long, Grammys road trip and his honest opinions on the play of Heat superstars DWYANE WADE and LEBRON JAMES… The Mamba has plenty of respect and...
