Limited to only 24 pairs, the silhouette combine the Kobe VI and the Koston 1 to create a truly unique Nike SB. Fans hoping to get a pair of the sneakers will have to head down to the Nike Vault at Staple Center early [last Saturday] morning and hope their number gets called in the raffle. The proceeds from the sale will go to charities selected by Kobe and Eric. The Koston Kobe SB features the same polyurethane isla

Clearly, it wouldn’t hurt if the Lakers wrote their own contract for next season. Sure, the Lakers aren’t quite in the same disarray as the Warriors, who are trying to become a contending playoff team. But there are a few things that could be written in stone to ease the minds of not just season-ticket holders but all Lakers fans. Below the jump are a few of them — some realistic, some wacky.

They say that pride comes before the fall. Had the Lakers shown any pride in this game, that saying might apply. Unfortunately, they showed very little to none of it in this game. For a 2-time defending championship team in the second round of the playoffs, in the year they can achieve a threepeat, that pride shouldn’t have to be summoned. It should be engrained into every thread of that purple and gold jersey. Tonig

…literally. Like candy on Halloween. The Lakers had home court advantage, they received a nicely wrapped Dallas meltdown to end the first half (four points on four free throws with not even a whole second on the game clock!), they built a 16-point lead in the third quarter, they got 36 points from Kobe Bryant and even a double-double each from Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom. The Lakers had every advantage handed to t

“I didn’t see him limp one time – did you?” Chris Paul said from the podium when asked about Kobe Bryant’s ankle. The reporter answered that he did indeed see him limp a few times, to which Paul answered, “You probably weren’t watching the same game.” READ MORE…

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

If you don’t know, Eric Wright (above left) plays cornerback for the Cleveland Browns. That’s right Cleveland. He’s also a kobe Bryant fan and wears #24 himself. We caught up with Eric while he was chillin’ with the boys from Tradition and LAX2JFK in downtown L.A. When we showed up it really came as no surprise that this former USC/UNLV alum was spotted wearing our Only Kings Have Rings tee. H

Instead of writing a review of game 3 I wanted to just do a preview of the Lakers/Suns series but it was too entertaining a game to not write about so here we are.  Over the last three years it has been the same story when the Lakers meet the Jazz in the playoffs.  Lakers take the first two at home and the Jazz come right back taking their first at home.  This year however the Lakers were able to hang in there just e

“It would not feel like the NBA Playoffs if we did not face the Utah Jazz.  It seems inevitable this match up of teams who’s names are representations of past cities meet in the post season. The Jazz are a team that always give us the same amount of trouble each post season, they may steal a game or two but thats it!  I contribute their lack of a major push against us to the inconsistency of Carlos Boozer.  You
