    OTG's All-Decade Team: Los Angeles Lakers Edition

    Fadeaway World The Los Angeles Lakers are the most dominant franchise in NBA history. Sorry Celtics fans, but the Purple and Gold have 10 championships since the ABA merger, thoroughly outpacing the 4 from Bean-town. But who have been their best players over the last decade? The 2010s were not especially kind to the Lakers, but this all-decade team would have really made for a special on-court product. Guard - Kobe Bryant I’m sorry to all of the Marcelo Huertas fans; I will b

    Superman Returns to La La Land

    Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times Every superhero has a good comeback story lying somewhere along their character arc. Bruce Wayne's parents died, and he became the Batman. Michael Jordan came out of retirement for a three-peat. And now, for Dwight Howard (AKA Superman), his own comeback story is unfolding in the same place it all went downhill: Laker Land. The Lakers signed Howard on a prove-it deal this offseason following the devastating news of DeMarcus Cousins' ACL injury

    Preseason Review: Los Angeles Lakers

    SB Nation The Los Angeles Lakers concluded their 2019 preseason campaign with an even 3-3 record. The team saw two great scoring outings to start the preseason and one performance that had fans in Los Angeles upset at 4:30 a.m. However, the Lakers bounced back and played lights-out basketball in front of their home crowd. The opener in Golden State’s brand new Chase Center showed some great promise. No L.A. starter played for more than 18 minutes, letting the mass of preseaso

    Kyrie’s Quest For Greatness Might Lead Him Back to LeBron

    NBAE/Getty Images Kyrie Irving’s path to greatness was already laid out in Cleveland when LeBron James returned. After a successful internship with Pat Riley in Miami where he collected his first two NBA rings, James fulfilled his legacy in Cleveland making true to his promise of winning a championship for his home state. Under James’ leadership, Irving grew into an All-NBA guard. In the grand scheme of things, the endgame of James’ second act in Cleveland was supposed to pla

    Did LeBron James Have the Best Season Ever by a 34-Year Old?

    GettyImages In perhaps the most surprising turn of events this season, LeBron James ended up missing the NBA Playoffs for the first time in 14 years. While that sounds surprising without any context, it’s not as surprising when you consider all of the factors that influenced the Lakers’ postseason absence. James is a walking circus that attracts attention anywhere he goes, and the Lakers knew this when they awarded him a max deal last summer. But is it possible that, amid all

    Did LeBron Make a Mistake Going to the Lakers?

    USA Today As I write this, the Los Angeles Lakers have nine games to go in the regular season and are tanking for a better draft pick rather than fighting for better playoff seeding, which is what many believed would happen in LeBron James’ first season in Hollywood. Instead, LeBron’s 13-year playoff streak ends, while the Lakers’ playoff drought extends to six years. The Lakers have been a disaster in the first year of the James era, which raises the question: Did LeBron mak

    Kobe Preaches Patience in the Wake of Lakers Mess

    c/o AP As LeBron James’ first season with the Los Angeles Lakers heads toward a tragic ending, Kobe Bryant reminded the Los Angeles Lakers fans of an oft-forgotten virtue: patience. “It is the first year,” Bryant told Juan Jimenez of as.com. Bryant, who was in Shenzhen, China for the FIBA World Cup draw over the weekend as the guest of honor, spoke at some length about the trouble brewing in Hollywood. “In Los Angeles, it will always be like that because in [LA], people want

    Lakers Turmoil: Why LeBron Will Eventually Demand a Trade From LA

    Fox Sports When LeBron James took his talents to Long Beach this summer, LA was to be the King’s final throne as a professional basketball player. With enough gas in the tank for a few more shots at a title, Tinseltown was where LeBron would make his last stand. After a confusing offseason, a botched Anthony Davis poaching, and a Lakers BRASS disinformation campaign, the situation in LA is suddenly an awkward one. It looks increasingly likely that LeBron and Co. will miss the

    O.T.T.T: Cleveland is the League's Worst Franchise

    Sports Illustrated It must suck to be a Cleveland sports fan. I have little to no knowledge of the NFL and even I know the Cleveland Browns are trash. They’re about as relevant to football as the A-League is to world soccer. Cleveland’s basketball team isn’t faring much better. The LeBron James era is done and dusted. The memories of his tenure are unforgettable though his departure has left the franchise in tatters. It was a near miracle that James was able to rag the relati

    Sneaker Culture in the Association - Series Return!

    QUEENS, NY – The state of the NBA has never been better as the culture thrives. Young stars continue to emerge, catapulting the game to unforeseen levels. Giannis is a thrill to watch, Devin Booker is only 22-years-old, Jokic is enhancing the 5 position, and Joel Embiid is almost the pettiest player to ever come across the league. He's entertaining, but still working towards David Robinson's 71-point-game-type-of-petty. The pace and space have captivated booming audiences aro

    Tyronn Lue Dismissed as Cavaliers Head Coach

    David Liam Kyle/NBAE via GettyImages Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue has been fired, several sources reported early this Sunday. Cavs players were informed of the move, reports the Athletic's Shams Charania, after the team started the season with six straight losses, including back-to-back blowout home defeats to the Atlanta Hawks and Brooklyn Nets. According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Larry Drew will serve as the interim head coach, as management held a meeting

    Why DeMarcus Cousins Going To Golden State is Good/Bad For the League

    This was the moment the 2018-19 season was thrown into shambles. With a healthy DeMarcus Cousins, the Warriors starting lineup is the best in league history, no ifs ands or buts about it. There are valid concerns about whether Cousins will ever get back to full health after suffering an achilles injury; one of the worst you can suffer as an athlete, let alone for a 6’10 big man. Rudy Gay came back from it and has been solid but Boogie is aiming to come back even better, ala D
