on his podcast, BS revealed kobe once prevented him from writing about a conversation they'd shared on "leadership". thanks for everything, kobe. rip.

i don't know how you come back from that but i feel like mayor pete stans prob proudly say "sportsball" xxp

the woj pod w/ ramona on kobe is pretty good except when ramona tries to reconcile her friendship w/ kobe vis a vis the assault trial in a completely inadequate way

I might be too much of a hater but discussing Kobe bending things to his will is poor word choice

Kobe Bryant didn't just have an iron will or unyielding confidence in himself. He believed he could bend the universe to his will.

And dammit, he often did. https://t.co/vhgkpMDXvq

Tomorrow’s lakers vs clippers game postponed

xp yikes

Moons???

Kind of blown away by how bad the kings are, and how completely the bagley pick has doomed them

it was a bad pick by any criteria

Has bags ever been healthy for more than like 2-3 weeks at a time?

Wolves man.... lose a 22 point lead in the 4th capped by this to send to ot (where they lost)

De'Aaron Fox just did that.

The Kings trailed the Timberwolves by 17 points with 2:49 left in the 4th quarter.

Since 1996-97, the first year of play-by-play data, NBA teams entered the day 0-8,378 when trailing by 17 or more in the final 3 minutes of the 4th quarter or overtime.

The Kings won, 133-129. pic.twitter.com/w1ma1HD7cC

I fucking hate this stupid shithole team

There is no bottom
There is no hope

It's just incomprehensible how much they FUCKING SUCK ASS

it's absurd....like you could have just let the shot clock run down on every possession and scraped by with a win

My condolences

I mean they fell for the "throw the ball off the rim on the second free throw" shit just standing there amazed like they fucking fifth graders or something

gg celtics-heat shortly

zion tipping now

inside the NBA has been very intense tonight but the kobe stories have been good

jerry west casually mentioned that kobe agreed to play for the clippers towards the end of his career and jerry had to talk him out of it

Whoa that woulda been something

yeah that storys been around def an alltime nba what if

tyler herro and duncan robinson are mike millers from other dimensions

If you missed maybe the best hour of TV we've ever seen from Inside ... you also missed Jerry West -- no longer a Laker employee at that point -- revealing how he told Kobe Bryant in the 2004 that he should not sign with the Clippers because he should not play for Donald Sterling

dion waiters eating the celtics alive right now creating high lights

high being the key word

if there’s a better 11th guy than juancho idk who it is

I wonder if they end up keeping Juancho now that it looks like Millsap is breaking down

the name juancho is fn sweet keep him imo

yeah it might as well be the title of some kinda badass cult western movie that time forgot

lol otm

this game is cool celtics are attempting oops on every play which objectively the best way to do basketball

the nuggets are being outscored 64-16 in the paint which is cool
