The Kamenetzkys talk with author Mike Sielski about the ways Kobe Bryant's upbringing influenced his career to come.
Kobe Bryant remains among the most fascinating and widely discussed athletes of the modern era. His storied career has been examined, re-examined, and re-examined yet again countless times, and that's not changing anytime soon...
The hosts from Locked On Lakers, Clippers, Timberwolves, Nuggets and Mavs break down their section of the Western Conference standings.
With the Lakers and the rest of the league getting ready to resume the stretch run of the season, it felt appropriate to take stock of where various teams stand. For this particular roundtable, it was the west's current 5-9 seeds, which are the Mavericks, Nuggets, Timberwolves(!), Clippers and... well... the Lakers...
All-Star weekend was quite eventual for LeBron James on a couple of fronts. First, he crushed the game itself, hitting a game-winner and putting on a show for his (sort of) hometown fans. But man alive, did he also spend those 72 hours making waves between him and the Lakers...

To wit, on the surface, a 106-101 win over a (then) 36-21 Utah Jazz squad that entered the contest on a six-game winning streak would be a reason for unbridled glee, yes? Yes??? Well, not so much, since the victory was so noteworthy in part because Anthony Davis exited in the first half with a severely rolled ankle, and may have left the building on crutches...
