Some of the greatest players in the history of the NBA have worn Los Angeles Lakers uniforms. With so many Hall of Famers having hoisted championship banners for L.A., it’s almost impossible to label one of them the greatest Laker of all time. Jerry West, who won an NBA title, made it to the Finals nine times and was a 14-time all star, would be in the discussion. However, West emphatically gives that title to Kobe B

You might think you know who the Black Mamba is, but do you? Yeah, Kobe calls himself the Black Mamba and there was a cool Robert Rodriguez short film about the persona but rumor on the street has it the fabled nickname was inspired by Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill” character by the same name (played to perfection by Uma Thurman). Who else would you put on the NBA version of the Deadly Viper Assass

NOW AVAILABLE – In the world of baseball card collecting there is none other card more valuable or sought after than a players rookie card. Too bad basketball card collecting never caught on. Surely, the great Black Mamba would have had a priceless. So, since basketball has neither the mystic or market for such collectors items we took it upon ourselves to create one. In tribute to the greatest closer in the ga

TheLakersNation – Throughout his career, Kobe Bryant’s dedication has been the essence of his game. So it shouldn’t surprise you that following tonight’s crushing loss to the Miami Heat, Kobe grabbed 3 ball boys and began a shooting spree in American Airlines Arena. Seemingly, the goal on this practice is to hit 25 shots from different areas of the court – midrange, free throw and 3-point. CBS Sports: More than

BigLakerMike lends us some advice on what the Lakers need to do to win game 4 and how to show the Thunder who’s boss. “After watching game four of the Lakers/Thunder series I was so upset I just wanted to re-post the review from game three and leave it at that.  The same problems carried over to game four.  No Odom, no Artest, no calls, no WIN, its as simple as that. It is easy for the Laker fans to see t

Again we turn to BigLakerMike for a brief re-cap of the Lakers’ slim victory over the OKC Thunder in game 2 of the first round of the NBA Playoffs. “If you get to the Staples Center an hour before the game you will get to see players from both teams shooting around getting ready for the battle that is about to ensue. Fans show up to see Odom, Gasol, Farmar, and others, but their main goal is to see Mr. Br

The corner of Figueroa St. and Chick Hern Ct. has been in an uproar of excitement and anticipation recently. For the last three Lakers games at Staples Center The Forest Lab Street Team has been doin’ their thing. They’ve handed out over 4,000 flyers promoting TFL#!’s new “Only Kings Have Rings” tee drawn by artist Matt Cory. While on the streets of downtown Los Angeles the Street Team f

This time-lapse video shows how artist Matt Cory brought Kobe Bryant to life for The Forest Lab. The original concept for  ”Only Kings Have Rings” was a design collaboration between Matt Cory and TFL#! owner, Garrett Campbell. The idea called for a graphite pencil drawing of Kobe wearing a crown similar to the famous crowned Biggie Smalls picture. But, Matt felt that using Lakers colors in a cross sketch/
