Kobe Bryant doesn’t typically sit down for touchy and personal interviews, but he did just that for “In Depth with Graham Bensinger” on Yahoo! Sports that aired early on Sunday. Among the topics discussed includes his ultra-sensitive rape case, his relationship with Phil Jackson, the inability to co-exist with Shaquille O’Neal, his destiny of becoming an NBA star and the possibility of his retirement at the age of 35. Bryant also explains how he managed to score 63 points as an
WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Barack Obama was on Kiss Cam, smooching his wife Michelle, when the outcome was no longer in doubt. The First Family’s date night had a happy ending, but it was perilous along the way as Obama and vice president Joe Biden watched from courtside seats across from the Brazilian bench. The home team struggled coming out of the gate, was outsized and outcrafted and trailed by 10 points at the end of the first quarter. Even when Obama was in
At some point, we’d like to – and eventually will – have a headline that isn’t focused on the drama surrounding Dwight Howard or Jeremy Lin. That some point will not be today, however, as the two once again dominated the story lines. Lin’s situation, in particular, was discussed by a countless number of writers, as you will see below, along with other relevant news of the day: J.R.

// The New York Knicks have until midnight ET Tuesday to determine whether Jeremy Lin’s offer sheet from the Houston Rockets is, well, Linsane. The Rockets have offered Lin $25 million over three years. An average salary of $8.3 million is a bit exorbitant for a player with a two-month resume. But when that deal contains a final year of nearly $15 million with huge luxury tax implications, it may even be too steep for Knicks owner Jim Dolan. I discussed the
More details are emerging from Jason Kidd’s car wreck and subsequent DWI in the Hamptons over the weekend. The New York Post, which ran Kidd’s mug shot on its front page Monday, has more details from the incident late Saturday night, including his refusal to take a Breathalyzer test, singing through his police processing and a return trip to the hospital after a bad reaction to a sleeping aid. The Post also said Kidd and his wife, Porschia, got into it at
