Kobe genuinely smiled when one Warriors player's name was brought up after the game ...
That player would be Klay Thompson, son of Lakers broadcaster Mychal Thompson. Klay had 22 points while shooting 6-for-11 from 3 on Monday and guarded Bryant for much of the night, helping to keep Kobe to just 11-for-27 shooting.

"I’m proud of him," Bryant said of Klay. "I really am. I’m happy to see him develop. You know, Mychal’s brought him to the games and I’ve talked to him after the games when he was a young pup and you see him out there playing well. It’s good."

One at a time? How should we handle this? We might have to do an oral history called "The Last Few Days Before Oklahoma City Traded James Harden." I still can't believe that Washington and Golden State evaluated that situation by saying, "Hmmmmm … no thanks, we're gonna roll with Bradley Beal/Klay Thompson over adding a franchise guy." Sorry, I interrupted, go back to breaking down Houston's playoff chances, please.

There are only 3 players in the NBA averaging 20+ ppg, 6+ apg, 4+ rpg-

Lebron James
Russell Westbrook
Stephen Curry

This caught my eye, btw:

Regarding the game film of Saturday's 115-89 debacle in L.A., Coach Mark Jackson says he has watched it, but he's not going to show it to the team.

Odd, wonder what his reasoning was.

Where can I watch the D-League Dunk Contest? Is it on NBATV?

Warriors guard Jarrett Jack did not participate in shootaround. Officially, he is a game-time decision.
