Hence, Scott said the Lakers will devote at least “75 percent” of their free-agent meetings next summer on basketball.

The commissioner wants one of the most popular National Basketball Association players ever to be a part of the All-Star game in his a year ago in the league.
Boston (13-9) has averaged 108.0 points during the five-game surge and had eight players finish in double figures in Wednesday’s 105-100 win over Chicago.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) – Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant has always loved competition, and the San Antonio Spurs have always been among his fiercest. “All players would like to play as much as they possibly can”.
That being said, it seems like a guarantee that Bryant will get voted in as a starter thanks to his legion of fans across the world.
Clarkson was a second round pick (46th overall) by the Washington Wizards last season before being traded to the Lakers for cash a day later.
Kevin Chan (@Kevin_Cruiser): If this were a normal season then I’d say Byron Scott should be responsible for limiting Kobe’s shots. Clarkson has started in all of the Lakers’ 22 games this season and is averaging 15.2 points.
Golden State has already withstood Harrison Barnes’ six-game absence due to an ankle injury that will sideline him at least another week.
Silver is right to point out Bryant’s impact internationally. “Sometimes I think he has deferred too much because he is trying to fit in”.
His first match against the Dallas Mavericks in January 27, 1997 set the record for Youngest NBA player to start a game at just 18 years and 158 days old.
The question becomes whether the Lakers decide to give Clarkson the max contract they can or if he gets a lesser contract from them. In the Lakers’ 109-87 loss to San Antonio on Friday at AT&T Center, Aldridge posted 24 points on 11-of-20 shooting and 11 rebounds, something Scott described “as an all-pro type game”. Unfortunately for the Lakers, the Spurs looked more like the Spurs and the Lakers looked more like the Lakers in the second half. “He’s done, even beyond his play on the floor, he’s played as great a role as anyone in global expansion of the game”. Though I would of liked to see him shoot the ball more he did well controlling the tempo and getting his teammates involved. Many fans may have wanted to “Be like Mike”, but Kobe Bryant made today’s stars dream about setting their own standards to reach and what it would be like to be better than Kobe or MJ. The idea of the event is to have the league’s best players on the court together. It kills me to watch him struggle, and I haven’t come to grips with the fact that it is his last season, but it is time to move on.

“Just knowing any given night you don’t know who’s going to be that guy, that’s the strength of this team”, Thomas said.
