Tweet of the Night: Arash Markazi

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

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

SH Blog: Kobe and Nash show great promise against Warriors, Howard wants to be “Iron Man”

by

In Sunday night’s preseason game between the Lakers and the Warriors, we witnessed something that may take a while to get used to: Steve Nash was running the floor alongside Kobe Bryant in a Lakers uniform. If you’re not a Lakers fan, what we saw was bad news because Nash – as he always does – made the game look so darned easy for everyone else. The Warriors actually blew the game open for a 110-83 victory and showed promising

SH Blog: The NBA institutes anti-flopping rule, Shaquille O’Neal would take Brook Lopez over Dwight Howard

by

So it’s finally happening: the NBA will punish players for the act of flopping. Will the rule change help clean up the game? Only time will tell, but it’s a start to help distinguish the difference between basketball players and those that may wish to pursue a career in acting. Some will surely be unhappy with the idea of losing money over such a subjective issue – the NBPA is already taking action – but others are quite happy with

Tweet of the Day: Brian Mahoney

Kobe likes the new rule. "Shameless flopping, that's a chump move," he says. Says Vlade "kind of pioneered it." #stoptheflop

Tweet of the Day goes to Brian Mahoney, who quoted Kobe Bryant on his thoughts about the new flopping rules set by the NBA. Some players (Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, Anderson Varejao, Manu Ginobili, etc) aren’t going to be thrilled with the idea of being fined for something they’ve become so adept at doing, but players that almost never flop – players like Bryant – ought to be thrilled with the new rules. Bryant is not a fan of flopping
