Kobe the GOAT? Nope! Magic Was Better
Last week Kobe appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden, and was on a segment where he would have to either eat something very disgusting, or answer who was the best between himself, Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

Opportunities Abound for The Los Angeles Lakers
For the first time since 2005 with the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James will not be making a run for the NBA Finals. But, Lakers fans need not fret. After all the plan this season did not involve winning a championship. Sure, it would've been a tremendous help for their youngsters to gain some playoff experience and, obviously, LeBron is never okay with any kind of losing. They can take solace though, in the fact that the Lakers are in a position to have a good summer, should they play their cards right.

Reason First: Should NBA Player Jordan Bell Be Sidelined Indefinitely for Fraud?
They say that there is no “I” in team. But there is one in “win,” which points to the fact that it is a collection of individuals who make up a team. There’s also an “I” in bill. Power forward/center Jordan Bell of the National Basketball Association (NBA) team the Golden State Warriors charged an undisclosed amount of money to his assistant coach Mike Brown for purchases he made at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee. What this shows is the emotional exhibition of fraud on the part of the mini-Madoff.

Why the Sacramento Kings Are Finals Competitors, in the Near Future
Okay. Okay. Wait. Just wait. I know what you're thinking. This team, in itself, is not a contender for the next year, or maybe not even the year after that, and I know that the Lakers are, eventually, going to add another star to their roster and probably make a run at a championship. However, don't count out this young and improving Kings team with a high ceiling. Although it doesn't look it right now, the Kings are Finals competitors, and I'm going to tell you why.

Phoenix Suns Future?
Last year around this time, after finishing with the worst record in the NBA, Devin Booker said publicly that he was "done with not making the playoffs." However, this year, the Suns are currently at 17-57... not really any different than they were last year. Question is, should D-Book be patient and stay? Or jump ship and leave?

Jordan vs. James
Before I dive into my article, I just wanna say that Michael Jordan has six rings. Now I know a lot of you Bron lovers will argue that that is Jordan's only argument, but that truly is the only argument you need. And I know that the next argument y'all will make is then in that case, Bill Russell is truly the GOAT. However, no one is making an argument about Bill. Everyone is making the argument Jordan vs. LeBron. So in the end, two players who seem level with each other, while one has six and the other is 3-6 in the Finals, I'm going with Jordan. The point of the game is to win. And Jordan has won more than James. But I know you guys will all freak out so I'm gonna make my argument here on why Jordan is better.

Carmelo Anthony: How Did It Go so Wrong, so Fast?
Personally, I'm a fan of Melo. His days in New York were one of the many highlights of my love for basketball when growing up. The way he had the confidence to dribble up the court with no fear and hit the go-ahead or game-winning jumper right in a defender's grill. His 62 at the garden which was capped with a half-court heave at the end of the first half. Even his highlights in Denver are something to be awed.

Zach LaVine Has Arrived in the NBA
The Chicago Bulls and their fans haven't had much to cheer for this NBA season. They fired their head coach Fred Hoiberg early in the season, they sit near the bottom of the Eastern Conference at 19-47, and they have a plethora of young, undeveloped talent, which points to a rebuild.

Why Missing the Playoffs Might Be Good for LeBron James
If I could use one word to summarize the Los Angeles Lakers season, I'd use the word: Yikes. After a tough loss against same town rival LA Clippers Monday night, many have called the Lakers season done, over, a disaster, among many other things.

What Is Kyrie Irving's Future in Boston?
Kyrie Irving began the NBA season telling the Boston fans he'd love to re-sign with them if they'd have them. Fast forward to around the trade deadline and the all-star break, he somewhat backtracked on that statement, saying, "Ask me July 1," about his impending free agency. Now with a Boston team that is struggling in the season's final stretch, Kyrie Irving's future in Boston has become uncertain. Will he stay or will he go?

How the L.A. Lakers Can Make the NBA Playoffs
The Lakers are in a tough spot coming down the stretch of the NBA season. They are currently outside of the top eight in the west, and if you follow basketball, that means they aren't in the playoff picture. The Lakers haven't made the playoffs in the past several years, but missing the playoffs when you have LeBron James on your team is something that hasn't happened since his second year in the NBA. There are some people who have written the Lakers off already, but the Lakers still have a shot to squeeze into the playoffs. But, things need to change and in a hurry.
