Pass The Mike Sports

Like a movie with a predictable plot, many of us saw LeBron James signing with the Los Angeles Lakers a mile away. But the news of "The Decision 3" still had the internet buzzing all Sunday night. LeBron James has agreed to 4-year, $154M deal with Lakers, Klutch Sports says. — Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 2, 2018 Fast forward to Monday and we've had a day to marinate on what LeBron to L.A. means for his legacy, the Lakers and the rest of the NBA. Press play in L.A. Simply adding James to the current Laker roster turns them into an instant playoff team next season. However, its obvious Los Angeles is a long ways away from helping LeBron conquer the West and make his ninth straight NBA Finals appearance. Like a mega-budget Hollywood movie, the Lakers are going to need at least one more star (preferably two) to legitimately compete for a championship. And from the looks of it, that next star may have to come in the form of a trade. Paul George's sur...

Many of us likely woke up this morning (or afternoon) still memorized by the basketball performance we witnessed last night. Yes, I know, Stephen Curry scored his 400th 3-pointer and led Golden State to an NBA-record 73 wins. But I'm talking about that other game in California. Future Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant dropped 60 points against the Utah Jazz in the final game of his legendary 20 year NBA career. Several years down the line we'll likely remember Kobe as the closest replica to Michael Jordan since well, Michael Jordan. Truly great @BleacherReport NBA Senior Writer @HowardBeck had awesome insight on Kobe. His interview with us here https://t.co/X12DTrTwTY — Shep (@shepcbs) April 14, 2016 Whether you loved or hated him on the basketball court Kobe has provided some of the most exciting basketball over the last two decades. But one has to wonder, at 37 years old, is this really the last we've seen of the "Black Mamba?" Bryant recently pa...

Kobe Bryant (left) and Stephen Curry will battle for television ratings Wednesday. NBA fans are tasked with a huge dilemma Wednesday for the league's regular season finale. Two of the biggest games of the regular season both tip off at 10:30 p.m. (eastern time). On one hand, you have the chance to watch Stephen Curry and the Warriors win 73 games and break the regular season win total set by the legendary 1995-96 Chicago Bulls. Golden State hosts the Memphis Grizzlies -- the same team the Warriors edged by one point last week . On the other hand, there's the chance to watch a legend and future Hall of Famer play in his final NBA game. Kobe Bryant will don the purple and gold No. 24 for the last time as the L.A. Lakers host the Utah Jazz in their regular season finale. If money could talk, it would say the "Black Mamba's" final game is the hotter ticket. The cheapest ticket available for the game at Staples Center is going for $819, according to tiq...
