Scottie Pippen's son got a Larry O' Brien NBA trophy birthday cake.

A bit young for Championship aspirations, don't you think? Via: larsapippen

NBA themed cakes are really the best cakes.

Random NBA .GIF of the Day: The rare Gregg Popovich dance.

Coolest. Dude. Ever. Please lord, let the Spurs win this one. There's no way Pop can still dance like that without throwing a hip out, but I would still give anything for the possibility of another dance.

Metta World Peace got a good cry from "The Notebook."

Metta World Peace has been on fire on twitter as of late, but these latest tweets have been hilarious.

This is weird, even for MWP. I am not sure this is exactly what Kobe Bryant had in mind when he asked him to be his old self again.

From PBT:

“Metta has a big presence on this team. I really encourage him to take that role head on – and to be an enforcer with it. But Metta, he’s done it before. We’ve won before together….
“Metta’s just as intense as I am, and he’s got a lot of that psychopath attitude that I do. That’s something Magic and me talked about, about how [Michael] Cooper and him did that a lot, how they played off each other.”

Besides the elbow to the head of James Harden's noggin. Kobe is right, Metta has been pretty calm, and been shooting a lot of threes that are surprising dropping at a career high rate. But the solution to their problems is not an enforcer, is effort and defense as a whole. Until that gets fixed, we can look forward to more Kobe on court meltdowns.

Okay, that .GIF is not from any recent games, I just had to find a reason to use it.

The Globetrotters grants Kobe's request to play the Washington Generals.

In perhaps the biggest surprise of the season, the Los Angeles Lakers are off to their worst start since 1978. After a summer block buster trade that landed Steve Nash and Dwight Howard, this team was expected to be instant Championship contenders. But they now stand at 9-13, they are on a 4 game losing streak into the first quarter of the season. The players are frustrated, and for the first time in his career, Kobe seems lost. He is so defeated that he even suggested playing the Washington Generals in an attempt to bring life back into his team.

“Every game for us has a lot of meaning to it at this point,” Bryant said after a 116-107 loss to the Knicks in Madison Square Garden. “Maybe if we were rolling, playing well … at this point, I wish we had the Washington Generals on our schedule.”

Kobe asks, Kobe gets:

For those who don't who the Washington Generals are, they are simply an exhibition basketball team full of losers that never managed to beat the Harlem Globetrotters more than once. There have not been reports of Kobe accepting the offer, but they do play the Washington Wizards today, which is a close second.

Good thing Kobe didn't challenge the Globetrotters, because they got his moves down and are ready to defend against it.
