Chris Paul is buying Avril Lavigne’s mansion

by

From TMZ.com

Can’t help but be fascinated by the NBA-related real estate news that keeps coming out of California. Just a couple days after learning that Kobe Bryant is losing three houses in his divorce settlement with wife Vanessa, we now have word from TMZ.com that Chris Paul is purchasing a Bel Air mansion from pop star Avril Lavigne for $8.5 million — $1 million below the original asking price. The 12,184 square-foot home has 8 bedrooms, 10.5 bathrooms

Tonight’s best game: Indiana at LA Lakers

by

Sunday night’s best game starts after the football is over and has the surprising Indiana Pacers visiting the Los Angeles Lakers, who are in a favorable stretch of their schedule and have an opportunity to fix some of their issues on offense. The first issue is scoring. Despite having the NBA’s leading scorer in Kobe Bryant, the Lakers are just 21st in offense at 92.1 points and dead last in the NBA in 3-point percentage at 25.7 percent. Derek Fisher is 7-of-29,

Kravitz Fantasy Basketball Top 5 Players and Sleepers after Week 4

by

The random luck of picking league owner names out of a hat for draft positions has always been the bane of my fantasy basketball existence. Each year upon receiving the e-mail with the draft order results from one of my two leagues’ commissioners, you’ll typically read my team’s moniker, “Krewtime”, between sixth and ninth in either nine-team league. Lebron James was the first selection in both our 8-CAT and 9-CAT league drafts, and he’s more than lived up to that status.

Report: Kobe Bryant loses 3 houses, $75 million in divorce

by

From fanpix.net

Many years ago, I was covering a game at Madison Square Garden and was speaking to Grant Hill just a few days after he announced that he was engaged to be married to the pop singer Tamia. Hill was asked if he received any advice from Michael Jordan, to which he nodded affirmatively. “He told me to get a pre-nup,” Hill said. “That’s what he told me: Get a pre-nup.” I do not know if Hill ever got

Kobe Bryant is leading the MVP race

by

Kobe Bryant failed to drop another 40 last night in an appallingly low-scoring victory over the Dallas Mavericks, which means one of Wilt Chamberlain’s other records (his mark for most free throws in a game fell last week when Dwight Howard shot 39) should remain intact for the foreseeable future. The record for most consecutive 40-point games is 14 by  Chamberlain in 1961. He did it 63 times in the ’61-62 season.  So although Kobe is not chasing Wilt, everyone else in

Hubbard: On this list, Kobe is still the best

by

Perhaps the most important trait that separates great ones from The Greatest of All Time is the relentless drive to be the very best. It is not a learned trait. It is natural. Kobe Bryant has it. Other current NBA players may have a dose of it, but it is negligible when compared to Bryant, who has spent much of his career – particular the late ’90s and early 2000’s – being compared to the fanatically driven Michael Jordan. To his credit, Bryant

Tonight’s best game: Dallas at LA Lakers

by

Monday’s best game has the Dallas Mavericks visiting the Los Angeles Lakers in their first meeting since the Mavericks steamrolled the two-time defending champions in the playoffs – and went on to a title of their own. Both teams have recovered from sputtering starts that began with nationally televised losses on Christmas Day. This game also is nationally televised by TNT. Dallas has won five in a row and eight of 10 since losing its first three games. The Mavs appear to be figuring things
