I thank you for giving me some of your time. I hope I am able to entertain with my rapid take on the past few days in the world of sports.
The Streaking Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers (42-18) defeated the Dallas Mavericks (39-21) 108-104 in overtime Sunday at the Staples Center to continue their run of dominance since acquiring power forward Paul Gasol in a trade completed early last month.
When Lakers center, Andrew Bynum, returns from his knee injury in late-March, he will team with Gasol and forward Lamar Odom to formulate one of the most powerful frontlines in recent NBA history.
The Lakers formidable trio, coupled with the brilliance of Kobe Bryant, should allow Los Angeles to waltz their way through the brutal Western Conference and into the NBA Finals come June.
For the first time since the 2004 season, the Hollywood Fakers are authentic and I expect the franchise to earn their 15th championship banner when this campaign’s in the books.

ESPN executives announced last week that they have hired Bob Knight to work as a guest studio analyst leading up to and during the NCAA Tournament.
There is a provision in Knight’s curious contract that prohibits any of his new colleagues from ever referring to him as a “member of the media.”
The polarizing bully, who hasn’t won a championship in 21-years, never ceases to amaze with his unjustifiable sense of entitlement and elitism.
Bob Knight, who won more NCAA Division I games than any other coach, knows the game of basketball as well as anyone.
But, he is a miserable excuse for a man and I predict that he won’t be a quality “member of the media.” Good luck, Bristol. You made your own bed and now you have to sleep at Knight.
The Incredible Hank
New York Yankees part-owner Hank Steinbrenner grated the New England region this week when he attacked the notion of “Red Sox Nation.”
“Red Sox Nation? What a bunch of (expletive) that is,” said the brazen chain-smoker. “This is a Yankee country. We’re going to put the Yankees back on top and restore the universe to order.”
Hank Steinbrenner is truly a remarkable man and one needs to hope that Time Magazine
