Kevin Love will miss at least the first month of the 2012-13 season after breaking his shooting hand during a pre-practice, personal workout. There's no word on what type of workout caused him to hurt his hand. Was he sparring with slabs of frozen meat, a la Rocky? If so, Kevin, don't use all your strength to strike said solid shank; next time, just give it a Love tap.
With less than two weeks until the Lakers open the regular season, Kobe Bryant has a lot on his plate, but he still went to bat for his buddy, Alex Rodriguez. The Yankees slugger has been in a slump and was benched due to poor play, but Kobe called to give him a pep talk, one world-class athlete to another. "I think sometimes he forgets he's the best. I don't," said Bryant, who's also taken some wild swings recently, albeit at long-gone Lakers*, not pitches.
The advice Kobe administered served as a real pick-me-up to A-Rod, in that it inspired him to pick up a woman in the stands. If you can't get a hit on the ball, Rodriguez reasoned, you can at least hit on an Australian bikini model using a ball. In the end, Kobe Kyna reached Rodriguez.
*the secret of Chris Mihm - he sucked - being much less fascinating than The Secret of NIMH.
