Kobe Bean Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna have been laid to rest in a private family service two weeks after their deaths in a helicopter crash.
The funeral service was held quietly on Friday at Pacific View Memorial Park in Corona del Mar, California with no photographers present.

Robert Littal of Black Sports Online said Sunday that he was told by a source that LeBron is “in it for the long haul” in L.A. He also indicated that LeBron could retire sooner than expected if he wins a championship with the Lakers.
“LeBron is in it for the long haul. I’ve been

Magic Johnson has been named president of basketball operations for the Los Angeles Lakers, the team announced on Tuesday, just two days before the NBA’s trade deadline.

Free agent Luol Deng has agreed to a four-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers that is worth $72 million, a source confirmed to ESPN's Chris Broussard on Saturday.

Deng, 31, averaged 15.2 po

What do you think about this Lakers fan.
Lakers fans were demanding it. Logic dictated it — even the questionable talent did not fully explain why Byron Scott could not get the Lakers to defend, they had one of the two worst defenses in the NBA each of his two seasons as coach.
