Blake a reminder of a season gone awry
LOS ANGELES -- For much of the second half of this season, Kobe Bryant's presence at Staples Center during Lakers game has sort of been like the fabled leprechauns at old Boston Garden. You knew Bryant -- like the little green-clad lads -- was supposedly in the building, but you rarely got a glimpse of him because he couldn't bring himself to watch the games from the bench. Well, Bryant will come out of seclusion Sunday to address the crowd before the Lakers' final home game of the season.

Silver Screen & Roundtable: Who's been the most disappointing Laker?
It's been one of the worst seasons in franchise history in so many different ways. But who's been the most disappointing player out of the lot? With the Lakers about "100 games under .500", Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash out for the season and the team having little to play for from here on out, it's obvious that night to night, this squad is just not quitting. They might be outgunned and outmanned against nearly every single opponent, but regardless of the final score, there's almost always no question about this team's high level of effort every night.
