By Kyle Edelman The LA Lakers are 15-59 and the worst team in the Western Conference. Their lone highlights this year include tracking Kobe Bryant’s final games and watching their young, future stars blossom into decent players. One of those stars is D’Angelo Russell, the 2nd overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. The Lakers had not picked top 3 in the NBA Draft since the 1980’s, so their pick last year was essential to an eventual rebuild of the once glorious franchise. Though Russell’s play has been impressive at times, the young point guard might have a new issues with his new team. In Kanye West’s song “Real Friends,” he writes, “It's not many of us, we smile at each other But how many honest? Trust issues.” Though the LA Lakers and Kanye West would never be related in any other circumstance- unless there was a Kardashian involved, this lyric describes the current drama within the team. On March 28th 2016, a snapchat video surfaced of Nick Young, a shooting guard for the Lakers, answering questions about sleeping with “a couple of women.”

By Kris Jones The NFL offseason has barely even begun and yet, the NFL world is shocked. Why, you say? Well, Seattle running back and the most quotable, yet non-vocal interviewee ever Marshawn Lynch and Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson unofficially announced their retirement from the NFL. As we know, a player’s time in the NFL or any professional sport is never determined, it is never set in stone. Injuries can permanently scar or disable a player for life. Or maybe they retire for personal reasons. As football fans, we get that. By Kyle Edelman For the past five years, the NBA’s best overall power forward has been Blake Griffin; he combines smooth scoring with fierce rebounding and masterful passing, but his latest outbreak might have even his strongest supporters questioning his presence among the greats. According to reports from Foxsports.com, Griffin threw a punch at the Clippers assistant equipment manager at a Toronto restaurant on January 23rd. If that wasn’t worse enough, he broke his right shooting hand in the process causing him to miss another 4-6 weeks of playing time. Griffin had been out since December 26th after suffering a torn quadriceps muscle. |
