Nov. 7, 1991. I was on USC's campus, taking a walk down Trousdale Parkway. I don't recall whether I was headed to class or the Commons (where students typically congregate) looking for an excuse to ditch. What I do remember is that I hadn't been i...

Back on June 3, Brian wrote about a Land O' Lakers poll asking if Kobe Bryant needed to beat the Celtics for a title to be considered the G.L.O.A.T. In a surprising response, a whopping 71 percent of Laker fans said Kobe can't take the crown without ...

Given how a Lakers-Celtics showdown sparks so much talk about the history of both franchises, ESPN is offering fans the chance to vote on their all-time Lakers starting five. (There's the all-time Celtics starting five, too, if you're into that sort ...
