Kobe Bryant still can’t play basketball, but that hasn’t stopped him from getting some shots up. This video shows him at Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters, draining shot after shot and scoring 89 points in their in-house Pop-a-Shot game.

Kobe, of course, is recovering from a torn Achilles tendon that forced him to miss the 2013 playoffs and may sideline him for the start of the upcoming season. He’s been rehabbing since April, and we don’t know when next we’ll see him in a Lakers jersey. But he hasn’t lost his shot.

Shit man, I didn't even renew my League Pass this season.

I hate Antoni. I hate Jim Buss. My one hope for this season is that Indiana beats Miami in the Eastern Conference.

2 years 20 million pissed away, when Cleveland cuts him he will only see $6 million of the contract

The Cleveland Cavaliers have suspended Andrew Bynum indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team.

Cleveland will begin aggressively looking to trade Bynum, according to sources.

The team has until Jan. 7 to decide if it will guarantee his contract for the rest of the season.

Sources tell Adrian Wojnarowski that the Cavaliers believe Bynum has been a "disruptive" presence within the team and have lost hope that a partnership can be salvaged. Wojnarowski reports that it is very possible that Bynum has already played his final game with the Cavaliers.

This is good stuff :

[tweet]417066220572012544[/tweet]

The early rumours were that he cussed out the coach, turns out to be false, Bynum went passive aggressive at Friday practise and jacked up crazy shots every time the ball came into his possession.. most likely in response to losing playing time to Tyler Zeller

That's a more logical explanation than the sex scandal rumors.

HAHAHAAAA

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been a mess this season and now the situation involving Andrew Bynum could make it into a disaster, as a report has come out that the suspended center was given paid leave after having sex with one of the members of the coaching staff's wife and the news comes from Media Take Out and will need to be confirmed, but if true, that's a mess.

According to the report from Media Take Out, Bynum, who was first suspended for conduct detrimental to the team and then given paid leave after his unpaid suspension ended, supposedly had "relations" with the wife of one of the members of the Cavs coaching staff and while the name has been redacted, it is not Mike Brown the head coach, but another coach on the staff. The news from Media Take Out came from a source that claims she is a "girlfriend" of one of the Cleveland Cavaliers players and that's how she could confirm the details.

The report goes on to say that Bynum had sex with someone's wife and that is what led to him getting suspended and now it appears that the team will be trading him and teams like the Heat, Lakers, Knicks and the Bulls and the source said that the team should bring him back since it has nothing to do with basketball. The team has been frustrated by Bynum's play this season and he has now been "excused from basketball duties" and it's likely he has played his final game with the team.

ESPN.com reported on the situation and wrote that Bynum was initially suspended for "conduct detrimental to the team" and lost a game check and the report also says that it followed an "incident" at practice last week and then he was suspended before the home game against the Golden State Warriors and this apparently was a "culmination" of events that have been going on and now the Cavs are in a tough situation, as he has only the first part of his salary guaranteed and the rest of the $12.25 million will kick in January 7 and the team could trade him by then.

This season Bynum has played in 24 games and started 19 and has averaged 8.6 points and 5.3 rebounds in 20 minutes a game and now if the reports are true, he is likely done in Cleveland and on top of that, his attitude has been subpar. This is just the latest issue for the Cavs, who have not been very good this season and are just 10-20 and the team has had problems with Dion Waiters and Kyrie Irving, who has been called a ball hog by other players and now Waiters and Bynum may be on their way out.

MediaTakeout is about as credible as my crackhead cousin "Bumpa."

The insolence story is much more credible than this Delonte West Part II story.

In a couple of games, Kobe Bryant will become the first player in NBA history with 30,000 points, 6,000 rebounds and 6,000 assists.

Barring injury, LeBron will become the 2nd in about 3 seasons.

Hard to believe that Kareem didn't have 6000 assists. I know he was a center, but still, in a career as long as his, I wouldn't thought he had it. I know he's the alltime leading scorer and obviously his rebound total must be significantly higher than 6000 (I mean if Kobe has 6000, Kareem must've had twice that or more). Too bad he didn't make the club...

I'm not sure assists were tallied over the course of Kareem's whole career. Some stats were "born" in the mid 70s, iirc.

Assist always existed I think, but at some point the definition was loosened. In the beginning you had to pass to someone who immediately shot the ball, no dribble at all, etc.
Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.
