Kobe Bryant is at his sarcastic, snarky best when he is talking about the 2005-2007 Lakers.

Kobe Bryant: "Smush Parker was the worst. He shouldn't have been in the NBA but we were too cheap to pay for a point guard."

Kobe Bryant: "I was shooting 45 times a game. What was I supposed to do? Pass it into Chris Mihm and Kwame Brown?"

Tweet of the Night went to Arash Markazi of ESPN, who quoted Kobe Bryant’s thoughts on some of his previous teammates. So apparently, Bryant is not a fan of  Smush Parker, Chris Mihm and Kwame Brown, but this isn’t exactly a surprise. Bryant has often spoken frankly about the lack of talent that surrounded him prior to the arrival of Pau Gasol in Los Angeles. Here’s what he previously had to say about the play of

SH Blog: Dirk Nowitzki’s knee acting up, Deron Williams did not want King to wait on Howard

by

The Western Conference, as we’ve become accustomed to, is once again stacked with playoff-level teams. This means one or more of those teams will miss the playoffs due to the level of competition, even if they end up with a winning record. The Mavericks could end up being one of those teams if Dirk Nowitzki, who has a swollen knee that has yet to improve, misses an extended period of time this season. See how the sharp-shooting big man plans

D-Wade’s new Li Ning shoes to be available at a store near Yu

by

Dwyane Wade will wear these new Li-Ning sneakers Thursday night in Beijing. No, not at a store near You. Near Yu, which is a county in Shanxi Province in China. Not the easiest place to get to, either, unless you are traveling from Pingding. But that is only going to be a temporary problem, as Li-Ning announced Wednesday that it expects to have Dwayne Wade’s new signature line of sneakers available in U.S. retail outlets in the first quarter

It was not a good day for the Dallas Mavericks. Dirk Nowitzki was scratched with “swelling and soreness” in his knee and the team lost by 14 to FC Barcelona Regal in Spain.

Chris Kaman was their best player, with a solid double-double. Stay tuned for updates on Nowitzki.

Tracy McGrady
Tracy McGrady has officially signed with a team in China for the upcoming season, which means his mostly illustrious 15-year career as an NBA player has – for the time being – come to a close. For those of us that remember the days when McGrady’s level of play was at least on par with that of Kobe Bryant, this appears to mark the end of a journey that promised great things but was too often hindered by health issues.

SH Blog: Phil Jackson says MJ could play three positions while LeBron can play four, McGrady signs with team in China

by

What is it about this desire to compare LeBron James to that of Michael Jordan? Clearly, James has a ways to go before you can put him in the “greatest of all time” category. This is not to say that he won’t get there – he is certainly on pace to put up historic numbers when all is said and done – but pitting him against Jordan right now just doesn’t seem very fair, given how much more Jordan has
