The Door Isn’t Shut (Gilbertology)

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 19:28:19 GMT

Amaechi, Kobe and Being Uncomfortable (D.C. Sports Bog)

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:48:07 GMT

John Amaechi's name bubbled up into the U.S. sports blogscape earlier this week, after he told a U.S. reporter that his only Olympic meeting with Kobe Bryant "didn't go well." I had actually asked Amaechi if we could chat last week, but we didn't sit down until yesterday, when those three words had already sparked Internet debate about whether Kobe was a homophobe. Sigh. So let's get this out of the...

What it Takes to Make it to the NBA Finals (20 Second Timeout)

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 19:42:00 GMT

A couple months ago, ESPN The Magazine ran a fascinating article about what it takes to get to the NBA Finals. Guest writer Baron Davis interviewed fellow All-Star guards Kobe Bryant, Chauncey Billups and Tony Parker. Bryant, of course, teamed with Shaquille O'Neal to lead the Lakers to three straight NBA championships from 2000-02. O'Neal and Bryant's Lakers also made it to the 2004 Finals, where...
