Gun Play

Gilbert Arenas has been suspended indefinitely by David Stern and the NBA in response to all of the reports of his (playfull) gun incident in the Wizards locker room. Arenas has yet to find out his fate from law enforcement as it is illigal to possess even an unloaded gun in D.C. David Stern said in a statement announcing the suspension:

“Although it is clear that the actions of Mr. Arenas will ultimately result
in a substantial suspension, and perhaps worse, his ongoing conduct has led me
to conclude that he is not currently fit to take the court in an NBA game,
Accordingly, I am suspending Mr. Arenas indefinitely, without pay, effective
immediately pending the completion of the investigation by the NBA.”

Bynum big in Lakers Win

Last night the Lakers won another close game, this time behind the 4th quarter dominance of Andrew Bynum. All of his low post moves were on display against Landry, Scola and the other Houston bigs. It is a testament to the skill and ability of Pau Gasol that when he is playing there just arent enough low post possessions to really focus on Bynum. I cant think of any better low post players than Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol that are currently in the league. Here's hoping that Pau is back quickly, even though its a lot of fun to watch 'Drew dominate with his back to the basket or facing up.

Recap and Highlights

Lebron Knicks Shoes

Supposedly these are leaks of new Lebrons coming to the market sometime in the second half of this year. Various Ohio newspapers are coming out saying that these shoes are not official releases. If these are fakes they are well done. Anyway I find this completely hilarious! Goodluck on keeping him around Ohio.

Stealing high fives

The Lakers Dominated the Mavericks yesterday so handily during their 131-96 victory, that Adam Morrison was even stealing high fives.

Highlights and Recap

Another Game Winning Buzzer Beater!

KOBE! Hes done it again. Once again Kobe has taken the Lakers from the brink of defeat, down by 20 at one point, to win at the buzzer with a clutch 3. If he's not the best in the world than who is? We are witnessing greatness, set your TIVO's and enjoy people.

Crazy Dunks!

LAKERS!

The defending champion LA Lakers opened the preseason last night with an impressive win that showed off the new (or improved) players. This team is far better than the team the Lakers had at this time last year. No more pretenders like Vladmir Radmanovic, improved depth with the addition of Shannon Brown and Ron Artest, and plenty to be excited or hopeful about. Bynum looks like hes in great shape and is ready to have a break out year. The point guard ranks are looking good (and healthy), Fisher is ready as ever, Brown and Farmar are serious and focused on contributing. Also Brown had probably one of the years better dunks, even if it is only the first game. Everyone keeps talking about the improved defense and shooting of Adam Morrison. Kobe and Pau are Kobe and Pau, two of the planets best, Kobe is still the best American player around, and Pau has definitely staked his claim as the best non-American player in the NBA with his last two incredible years in international play.

I am ridiculously excited about this season! Go Lakers!

Not that Spectacular. Apparantly Lebron just can't handle any notion of him being a mortal man.
