On Wednesday we got the best piece of movie news regarding Space Jam since the original film with Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan debuted. It looks like there will be a sequel and its star may be none other than the King of Akron, Ohio, LeBron James.

Kobe Bryant passed Michael Jordan in all-time NBA scoring as the Lakers beat the Timberwolves 100-94 on Sunday. With the L.A. Lakers superstar needing nine points to surpass the Chicago Bulls legend, it took two free throws - courtesy of a Zach LaVine foul - to put the Lakers shooting guard into third spot on the all-time points leaders for the NBA. With it came an avalanche of tributes from Magic Johnson, Snoop Dog, LeBron James, Arsenio Hall and, fittingly, from Michael Jordan himself. Read More »
Yasiel Puig spent last week celebrating his 24th birthday appearing on video game covers and selling a whole mess of vitamin water. How would the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar follow that? Could it be topped? Turns out he spent this week — during which the Dodgers completely overhauled their roster — mainly chilling. That is, according to his Instragram. Puig made nine posts to Instagram this week, an Adrian Gonzalez-like slow week for him that started with a snap of him and DJ Khaled because, you know, they the best. But after that things died down in the life of Yasiel Puig, which apparently means playing a lot of FIFA. Puig's from Cuba and he's 24, so the fact that he unwinds with FIFA isn't exactly a suprise. But that he's this proud of his wins maybe is. Puig published four FIFA videos to Instagram this week, the first three followed immediately by two of grainy footage of a muscular man climbing out of a pool. Boy, would a translator help out here. Then a day later Puig honored his fellow Los Angeles sports star Kobe Bryant with a fitting tribute when Bryant passed Michael Jordan to become third on the all-time NBA scoring list. The photo is a graphic of Bryant driving to the hoop and Puig, next to him, bowing — because it seems that trip to Japan had a lasting impression on young Yasiel. Above the graphic is a list of the NBA all-time scoring leaderboard, with Bryant highlighted above Jordan. Maybe this is an elaborate marketing ploy by Puig to make him more L.A.-likable, or maybe the kid just admires greatness. He has the potential for it one day for sure. Read More »

Kobe Bryant and LeBron James want nothing better than to top Michael Jordan. The crazy-shooters want to top M.J. in every record when it's all said and done, and in some they already have, and some they are yet to obtain.

Kobe has now missed more shots in the regular season than any other player in history. This has caused a huge debate, who is the best player of all-time, and could Kobe now be seen as the worst-of-the-best of all-time? Read More »
