Offseason 2008

Wonder if Kobe Bryant's off season workouts have changed since 2008.

Lingerie Basketball League visits Venice Beach

The Lingerie Basketball League hit Venice Beach this past Saturday, (July 23rd). They came, the saw, and they looked great while playing hard in their team-synchronized lingerie. Here are some stills of what you missed, as well as game dates after the jump.

Special thanks goes out to #12, from the LA Starlets, Bri Dryden! Bri is the youngest player in the league, as well as a friend of wadidoLA. Off the court, Bri is a model, yoga instructor, and a talented portrait artist. Wish her and the rest of her team good luck with her season!

NBA 2K12

Day 20 of the NBA lockout couldn't keep back the release of the NBA 2K12 cover. The cover features Magic Johnson, whose legacy is deeply embedded with the Los Angeles Lakers. If this 2K is as good as last year's 2K, which had Michael Jordan on the cover, it will definitely be a must-buy. Showtime!

A Solution for the Lockout!

The Knee is looking good, says Kobe Bryant's 360 dunk

Kobe throws down a 360 dunk at his annual Kobe Academy being held at UCSB.  Guess the knee is all good and recovered from the platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) therapy he had on his right knee about a month ago in Germany.

Kobe and a band of NBA players may be headed to China due to the lockout

The LA Times reported on Saturday that Kobe Bryant, along with about 12-20 other NBA players, may be headed to China to play a tour of games. This report is more likely than not, especially for Kobe, since he has already deemed China his "home away from home", as it should be due to his massive fan following there. With the NBA just starting its lockout, which has no end in sight, who are we to tell unemployed men not to take their talents to China for compensation via the Yen(the currency of China)? If it were to happen, one of the first places Kobe would be stopping is the Mercedez-Benz Arena in Shanghai. Mercedez-Benz has been running a commercial for months featuring the Smart Car, which is owned by Mercedez-Benz.
