How Does Kobe’s Ass Taste Shaq?

Now that Kobe Bryant has one more ring than Shaquille O’Neal and achieved back-to-back championships without him, the question needs to be asked.

How does Kobe’s ass taste Shaq?

Sure it was all funny for the O’Neal camp and the Kobe haters back on that June summer night in 2008 after Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Boston Celtics but where is the Big Mouth now? Bryant might not have forgotten and neither did I.

So Shaq how does Kobe’s ass taste?

Kobe Bryant

Every Tuesday Sports Grind Entertainment presents you with the Buffalo Wild Wings Blazin Player of the Week. This week the recipient of this prestigious honor goes to Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant for his contributions in helping win Game 1 in the Western Conference Finals which simply is BLAZIN.

Bryant’s health was called into question entering the Western Conference Finals and for at least one game the questions where deaded.  Sporting a yellow knee brace in last night’s game, Bryant put on a dominating performance that led his Lakers to a 128-107 victory against the Phoenix Suns in Game 1.

Kobe Bryant was red hot from the field all night, scoring 40 points on some very efficient shooting.  He was 13-23 from the field and even hit 3-6 of his three-pointers. In vintage Kobe fashion, he was able to get to the line 12 times, converting on 11 of the chances.  He also had 5 assists and 5 rebounds to cap off his excellent game.

Congratulations Kobe Bryant you are this weeks Buffalo Wild Wings Blazin Player.


Will Kobe Bryant Ever Escape Those Photos?

Whats With Utah Providing Classics

As a Stan of the greatest player in the NBA right now I have to wonder if the photos that Los Angeles Lakers Kobe Bryants wife Vanessa forced him to partake in will ever go away. I truly doubt it and really don’t have a problem with it if the don’t. I just hope that fans stay creative with them down the line and three years later its still the all white Michael Jordan pose.

But how about the photo though, you got Turtle from HBO’s Entourage in the front row, the guy in the far left that just sharted on himself and of course the best for last is the chick in the upper right hand corner that could really care less she is at an NBA playoff game. Like really, sorry for wasting all that money for behind the basket seats so you could come be bored out of your mind watching playoff basketball.

Depending on how much Jameson I had in my system at the time and my eyes caught that, she just might have been walking home or getting real friendly with some Dick or Harry at EnergySoulutions Arena.

He also became only the fifth player in NBA history to lead the league in rebounding for at least three consecutive seasons.

Orlando held the opposition to less than 100 points 57 times and to less than 90 points 24 times.

Duncan has been selected to the NBA All-Defensive team 13 consecutive seasons.

Coaches were not permitted to vote for players from their own team.  Two points were awarded for a First Team vote and one point was awarded for a Second Team vote.


WTF: Kobe Bryant

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has always been a diva but now he has jumped ship and enter Derek Zoolander territor. Notice a few of the Blue Steel poses he tries to pull off. Not down with this at all and Kobe you will be saying the same thing in 5 years when you look back at this huge fail.


A Game Winner & It’s Not Kobe

The theme for the NBA 2009-2010 regular season was game winners by Los Angeles Lakers Kobe Bryant, I mean he did have 6 of them and almost pulled off his first in this years playoffs. However it was his teammate the GEICO Caveman aka Pau Gasol who came up with the distinct honor of being closeout hero for the Lakers. The Caveman’s put back eliminated the Oklahoma City Thunder and allowed Seattle hoop fans to rejoin the rest of the world in watching the NBA playoffs.

Been awhile since I’ve heard Joel Myers get that excited.

A Game Winner & It’s Not Kobe

The theme for the NBA 2009-2010 regular season was game winners by Los Angeles Lakers Kobe Bryant, I mean he did have 6 of them.

Former NBA Player Named Serbian Olympic President

He Blew

Former Los Angeles Lakers, Charlotte Hornets, Sacramento Kings Vlade Divac and Serbian basketball great has become the country’s Olympic committee president.

Divac won several medals with the former Yugoslavia in international competition and also enjoyed a 16-year NBA career that he officially finished in 2007. He won gold medals at the FIBA World Championships in Argentina in 1990 and 12 years later in Indianapolis.

“Sport has built me as a man and taught me not just to compete, but to lead the team as well,” Divac said. “I’m ready to be animated and to motivate every single member of our society to contribute to the promotion of sport.”

The only good Divac ever served on an American court was being traded to the Charlotte for the draft rights to Laker great Kobe Bryant in 1996.

Washington Redskins Fan Burns Donovan McNabb Jersey

OK was this yesterday, no, but can you say ironic. It’s like hearing year after year from San Antonio Spurs fan how they hate Los Angles Lakers Kobe Bryant and then all sudden he becomes a Spur for a 2036 second round draft pick.

Redskins fan can’t wait to call into LaVar Arrington or Brian Mitchell radio shows and say they gave up nothing to get him and how this instantly changes the face of their beloved franchise. But no one will call up to either of their shows to mention how they hated McNabb or how they stood in FedEx Field parking lot and burned his jersey. Nope not a single one.

So before Spurs fan wants to piss on Bryant’s jersey and push him into the River Walk, remember stranger things have happened. Just ask Philly and Skins fan.


Another Game Winner For KOBE!!!

Reggie Evans Named NBA’s Dirtiest Player

Why Your Hand Down There The Ball Is By His Face

In a recent poll conducted by Sports Illustrated they asked 173 NBA players who they thought was the dirtiest player in the league was. According to the players it was Reggie Evans. Los Angeles Clippers Chris Kaman and Philadelphia 76ers Samuel Dalembert could not agree more. Here’s the rest of the list:

  1. Reggie Evans, Toronto Raptors (21%)
  2. Ron Artest, Los Angeles Lakers (13%)
  3. Andres Nocioni, Sacramento Kings (6%)
  4. Anderson Varejao, Cleveland Cavaliers (5%)
  5. Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers (4%)

Interesting though that Washington Wizards Fabricio Oberto who leads the league in fouls per 48 minutes, averaging 9.1, did not receive a single vote.

Who do you think is the NBA’s dirtiest player?

More Than 10,000 Kids Are Named After Kobe Bryant

Are You My Daddy?

Interesting statistic from the Riverside Pres-Enterprise: There are more than 10,000 children in the U.S. named Kobe, and while the popularity of naming your kid after the Lakers’ star has waxed and waned over the past 10 years, it’s currently on the rise. Kobe was the 403rd most popular name for a baby boy in 2008, up from No. 472 the year before and a low of No. 544 in 2005, the year after sexual assault charges against him were dropped by Colorado prosecutors.

The more than 10,000 American families who named a son or daughter Kobe in the past 13 years represent a diverse ethnic and geographic background. There’s a hoops-crazed pastor in Orlando, an aspiring rapper in Pittsburgh, a women’s basketball star turned elementary school principal in Georgia and two pro beach volleyball players in Santa Barbara. Their admiration for Bryant is the common thread tying them together.

Of course, epicenter of the trend is the Los Angeles area, where the influence of the Lakers is greatest. In one Highland neighborhood alone, two 8-year-olds are both named after Bryant, as are two boys in the same first-grade class at Riverside’s Collett Elementary School.


Memphis Grizzlies Rudy Gay’s Brain Fart

In night that should have been all about Los Angeles Lakers Kobe Bryant becoming the teams all time leading scorer by passing Laker legend Jerry West in that department, Memphis Grizzlies Rudy Gay provided us with this gem.

The funny thing is in the midst of Gay’s brain fart Kobe is still involved when he knocks down the quarter ending three. Nike, you wasted the Witness campaign on the wrong athlete, what is there this guy can’t do?
