Shouldn't that go in the Magic thread? Weak.

you need to be more observant. This is entirely about the Lakers. It is an object lesson in the vital role the Lakers play in the success of the NBA.

SVG says that the Christmas matchups are between prior Finals teams. When, in reality, they are "usually" between the Lakers and another team. Lakers v Heat twice, for example. I don't recall Spurs/Nets on Christmas Day.

I respect Stan for not questioning the Lakers' inclusion as the marquee game on Christmas Day. It is good for other teams to know their place.

This is the best part of his whole rant. Everything in the universe is whole again.

Here is Sasha's explanation for what happened with the Slovenian National Team:

My favorite part is where he talks about them treating his injuries with olive oil. Not sure I buy this story, but it makes for an interesting read.

I hope you send Chris Wallace a Christmas card every year.

Also, is this you?

I was thinking for about a month now why would Chris Wallace just hand over Pau Gasol to the Lakers?

I figured it out the Lakers season was almost ruined after Andrew Bynum dislocated his knee against who but the Grizzlies so he did what he felt was right and made it right by giving away there best player

Looks like Gary Vitti has cleared Pow! to play in the Euroleague championships. The injury is not expected to have any affect on his NBA season.

Good news.

Nike Zoom Kobe IV. I am starting to dig this shoe. Apparently it is the lightest shoe Nike has ever made. Also one of the best selling.

For those that follow NBA kicks closely, is there a recent trend of low-tops making a comeback in the league? I like it.

The Zoom Kobe IV comes in low and high top. I like them both.

Lamar posting more pics of his workouts...he is spending lots of time boxing and doing yoga.

David Stern heads uptown to the heart of basketball culture.....a Harlem barbershop.....to discuss the state of the NBA with locals.....dress code, Ron Artest, high school recruiting, and he picks the Lakers to win it all (well....maybe not exactly).

I think this is a fantastic idea for the Commish. He should do these more often and in other cities when he travels. These are real fans with legit questions.

Kobe needs to put him in his place. He needs to take the lil' one and put him over his knee and let him know who his daddy is.

He should be thanking his lucky stars above that he is in that situation.
