The Lakers will be short-handed...again.

At first glance, comparing MMA’s Brock Lesnar to basketball’s Kobe Bryant seems impossible. Bryant is a champion athlete who uses an undeniable and unparalleled skill set to dominate his competition, while Lesnar dominates with brute force and his raw physical gifts. In many ways, it’s like comparing the grace of a swan to the power of a rhino. Athletically, the two couldn’t be further apart, but it is in how they are perceived by their...

Lamar Odom replaced an injured Kobe Bryant and matched his career high with 22 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Lakers broke their nine-game losing streak at the Rose Garden with a 99-82 victory Saturday night over the Portland Trail Blazers.  

Lamar Odom thinks the reason the Los Angeles Lakers finally snapped a nine-game losing streak in Portland was because they didn't have Kobe Bryant. But he meant no disrespect. "I think it made us a little more focused as a group, to come in here and do whatever we had to do to stay in the game," said Odom, who matched his career high with 22 rebounds to go with 10 points in the...
