This is a debate that’s been going on for ages and we’re by no means going to make a decision for you. Instead, we’re going to let our friends from the Medical Insurance Blog give you all the facts and let you make the final decision in our comments! After seeing this infographic though it is pretty crazy to see how awesome Jordan really was. I mean I think everyone can agree Kobe is the best player in the NBA right now, no Fat Pippen aka Lebron James is not better than Kobe, you need a ring to e considered the best. While we know Kobe is the best he really comes nowhere near the greatness of Jordan. Well that is just my opinion. (click on image to enlarge)

I have always hated Lebron James, even before he got into the NBA, with that said I think he is the best player in the league. I’ve always hated his cockiness and his attitude for no apparent reason really, he seems like a fun and cool guy, but I just don’t like him. Lebron decided last night he will be joining Dwayne Wade’s team, which it is and always will be, down in Miami. They will be accompanied by Chris Bosh making them a mini Dream Team of some sorts. Lebron joining Wade now makes him a Fat Scottie Pippen, and that is what I will be calling him for the next ten years from here on out. Fat Pippen decided to pass on New York, turning down a 40 million dollar check from Nike and the projected 1 billion dollars he was set to make in his career if he joined the Knicks. So you can’t say he made the move for the money, he clearly made the move to win championships and live the good life in Miami, but I have a problem with both of those choices, here’s why.

Elin Woods, I feel for you. Getting cheated on is the most sickening feeling I’ve ever felt. Not only do you feel absolutely betrayed, but you view yourself as completely worthless. I remember how stupid I was with my first ‘real’ girlfriend. It makes me ill to remember the person I was while dating her. What a vagina. We once had a phone conversation during the winter break of my freshman year of college that went a little something like this.
Ricky: I hope you like those flowers I sent to your house. I sent them on a Monday so all your girlies could be jealous all week. Where are ya? Are you on the treadmill? You sound winded.
Pookie: O, just at a friend’s place.
Ricky: Are you at Cindy’s or Jess’?
Pookie: Neither
Ricky: Well where are you sills nills?
Pookie: I’m actually at Dusty’s. He threatened to kill himself again if I didn’t see him. I’m the only one who can make him feel better.
Ricky: O…I don’t really like you going over to your ex-boyfriend’s, but I trust you. Tell him to feel better. When can I meet him? I know he’s still one of your best friends.
(4-5 second silence)
Ricky: Hello? Hello? Pooks?
Dusty: Hey man this is Dusty. Listen, Pookie doesn’t want to be with you anymore. She’s back with me now.
Ricky: What? We just made sweet love last week after the holiday cruise. I don’t believe you!
Dustin: Love? That’s funny. I mean it’s cute and all, but we just fucked.
Ricky: (bitchy crying voice) Why are you doing this?
Pookie: Ricky look…we had sex a bunch of times. What did you think, I was going to marry you? We’re not together anymore. I want to be with Dusty.

Earlier this week the Lakers received their championship rings and this year’s rings are some of the flashiest yet. Several members of the Buss family and team captains Derek Fisher and Kobe Bryant weighed in on the design for the rings. The rings are made of a special limited 15K gold to celebrate the 15th championship. Dr. Jerry Buss requested the 14 round diamonds circling the top of the ring to represent 14 championships with the small gold trophy on the top representing the 15th. The team captains requested that each player have their own face and jersey number on the side of the ring. On non-player rings the Los Angeles skyline takes the place of the face. Each ring is authenticated by a serial number and there are hidden etchings of the Lakers logo on the ring. The diamond-studded top echoes the shape of the Staples center. Each ring comes with a box that has two LED spotlights inside. The 2009 Lakers championship rings were created by Jason of Beverly Hills and are worth about $30,000.

Here is 17 year old Kobe Bryant going between his legs and dunking at the Gym Rat Midnight Madness High School Showcase in 1995. Bryant pulls off this dunk in a GAME less than a year after Isaiah Rider made it a signature dunk in the NBA dunk contest the year before. Kobe Bryant went on to play his senior campaign at Lower Merion High School and was drafted 13th overall by the Charlotte Hornets. Soon after, Jerry West, general manager of the Los Angeles Lakers, traded his starting center, Vlade Divac, to the Hornets in exchange for Bryant’s draft rights. Since he was still 17 at the time of the draft, his parents had to cosign his contract with the Lakers until he was able to sign his own when he turned 18 before the season began. It turned out to be a pretty decent move by West.

To celebrate the release of Paul Rodriguez’s third shoe, Nike SB has produced a new commercial titled “Today Was a Good Day.” This is the newly released extended version which features Eric Koston, Kobe Bryant, Ice Cube, Lance Mountain and Theotis Beasley. It starts off the same way as Cubes original “Today Was a Good Day” video, and follows P-Rod and his friends though L.A. If Nike keeps putting in this kind of effort with each release of a new P-Rod skate shoe then I will be happy. Enjoy!
