Lakers Assemble! Now we all know that super heroes are all that matter nowadays. Whether it’s their own movie or just a cameo, it’s the interactions with other heroes that we crave to see in spectacular, special-effects heavy, fashion. That being said, let’s not forget some of our own Los Angeles super heroes, the Lakers. With their new seasoned leader LeBron James down to some of the bench players like Caruso, let’s see how these Lakers stack up to the characters of Marvel’s MCU (including Marvel’s Netflix shows).  But first take let us a moment to recognized not just our first comparison but the loss of this talent who is: DeMarcus Cousins - The Hulk Unfortunately, due to injury, DeMarcus is looking like a non-factor for the first part of the season but in a way that makes his comparison all the more suited for him. Here’s a hint, after every dunk, think “SMASH!”. That’s right, Cousins could easily be The Incredible Hulk. The Hulk is a large, quick, and strong hero whose personal...

I write because I like to write. It helps when people read what I write and it helps even more when people comment on what I write. Another benefit that happens every now and then is when I learn something as I research an article. This is that type of article.

I agree with Stephen A. His argument centered around the fact that the Lakers already had two of the best players in the Association. He understood why they waited on Kawhi but ...

On the eve of the NBA season starting here in Los Angeles I wanted to take a deeper look at our two teams. Comparing the Lakers and Clippers can be a fools game of sorts. On one hand the Lakers have an incredible past filled with more NBA Championships than all but one franchise. The Clippers past, well, it's best it stays in the past. The more recent past however is kinder to the Clippers. In fact, it's a clear win for the Clips. The team that originated in Buffalo and got to Los Angeles via San Diego has been the best team over the last six years. It hasn't really been close. The Lakers in that span have been really, really bad. Don't take my word for it, listen to what the Process recently had to say. When asked by Clay Skipper of GQ if he was playing the Cavs in NBA 2k18 GM mode, Joel Embiid said " Nah, they’re too good. I gotta start with a team that sucks, like the Lakers or the Nets. I gotta make it fair." The player dubbed in the article as the futur...
