There are occasionally periods when the news cycle doesn't provide us much in the way of juicy topics for the podKast. Safe to say, this isn't one of those periods. Plenty to chop up, with Mike Brown out, Mike D'Antoni in, and Phil Jackson -- along w...

With the Lakers 0-2 heading into tonight's action against the Clippers and Steve Nash looking doubtful to suit up, has this season's first crosstown battle lost some of the juice? Not from where I'm sitting. Regardless of Nash's participation, this i...

Our last podKast before training camps begins. On several levels, we're quite excited about this timeline. The show can be heard by clicking on the module and a breakdown of talking points can be found below: - (1:00): After taking a m...

Over the last few years, there has been a heightened awareness about concussions, brain injuries and the long-term risks potentially faced by athletes as the result of playing contact sports (and even sports commonly designated as "non-contact.") It'...

When Dwight Howard arrived in L.A., he didn't show up alone. Point guard Chris Duhon (along with forward Earl Clark) also were part of the Lakers' haul, and the Dukie's presence makes for a potentially intriguing battle at backup point guard. Steve B...

With Oct. 1, Media Day and the season's official start inching ever so close, you can begin to smell basketball in the air. (As opposed to the other scent permeating throughout the Southland.) The anticipation is building and Lakers fans are excited....

Everyone else keeps talking about the Lakers. Why shouldn't we? The show can be heard by clicking on the module and a list of talking points is below: - (1:30): Basketball players are often reticent to shower the opposition with more t...

Among other deficiencies last season, the Lakers lacked a legitimate backup shooting guard behind Kobe Bryant, reliable outside shooting, reliable bench bench scoring and young legs attached to a reasonably NBA-seasoned player. By agreeing to terms w...

The acquisitions of Steve Nash and Antawn Jamison may have overshadowed Jordan Hill'sdecision to remain a Laker, but the big man sticking around was nonetheless a very important development. Beyond the rebounding and shot blocking provided by Hill of...

At long last, a string of legitimate offseason basketball topics that don't include the words "Dwight" or "Howard!" Huzzah!!! It's enough to make a pair of podcasters giddy with glee. The show can be heard by clicking on the module, and a list of tal...

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Last week, "Dwight Howard Watch" remained in full effect, while the Kamenetzky Brothers hit the studio for a PodKast. (Two of them, for those keeping score.) One week later... lather, rinse, repeat...

Billy Bob Thornton's Hollywood breakthrough came in 1996 with "Sling Blade" (which he also wrote and directed), where he played a mentally challenged man with a dark past trying to re-acclimate himself into small town society after being released fr...

Whether as a stand-up comedian or Hollywood presence ("George Lopez," "Lopez Tonight"), George Lopez has served with great pride as an entertainment industry voice for the Latino community. He's also a native Angeleno and a huge Lakers fan often foun...

Brian and I both work hard. We look forward to our time off. When I'm officially away, it takes a lot to pull me back into that world, even for a little while. Safe to say, Steve Nash becoming a Laker qualifies as "a lot." Thus, I briefly inter...

Henry Diltz is a name you might not immediately recognize, but if you're a fan of rock music, you likely know his work. Diltz is among the most famous and successful of rock photographers, whose stunning portfolio includes iconic images of, among oth...

We recorded this show between the draft and free agency's official start, a few days ahead of the Nets' dramatic, Dwight Howard-free makeover. Obviously, the NBA landscape has already dramatically changed, but the topics and concerns expressed remain...
