Premium cable network Showtime has a collaborated with Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant to make a documentary that tells the story of how he became the man that he is today. The documentary is set to debut in February of 2015, but an early first-look trailer was released Friday to drum up some early hype. The 16-year veteran spoke with Variety about the documentary. People know me because of what I am, a basketball player. In ‘Muse,’ everyone will begin to
Kobe Bryant is an NBA legend. As a matter of fact, he’s knocking on Michael Jordan’s door as we speak, ready to take his spot for third on the all-time scoring list. He’s only 31 points away from MJ and making history, which he’s already done a couple times this season.

Which team has the best rookie duo this season? Coming out of the draft, you had to like the Chicago Bulls, who traded into the lottery to grab Doug McDermott and finally signed Nikola Mirotic.

The Boston Celtics, Charlotte Hornets and Orlando Magic each had two first-round picks that looked like they might be able to crack the rotation. But James Young has been

Who is the MVP of the young 2014-2015 season so far? It’s only mid-December, so it’s easy to say that this particular topic deserves a discussion further down the road. That said, the narrative of an MVP is a progressive thing. The league pays attention to how deserving players are by watching their performance on a month-to-month basis, so evaluating them a quarter of the way into the season is only natural. Having said that, there are only two true candidates for
The 2014-15 NBA regular season continued on Thursday, December 11 with two high-profile games. Both were decided by single-digits, including one that went to overtime and another between All-Star casts of players. Here’s how it all transpired. [Read more…]
