You already know… let’s go Lake Show!

LIVE from the legendary L.A. Forum and former locker room to greats such as Magic Johnson, Shaq and Wilt Chamberlain, Javid sits down with Kobe Bryant after the global press introduction for his new sneaker. In this clip Kobe talks about how soccer was actually the inspiration for his latest basketball shoe, why Lil Wayne is his favorite rapper and tells us how the deal came together for the Nubeo Black Mamba Kobe Bryant Watch line which ranges from $25,000 – $285,000. Oh yeah, he also says who would win a one on one between him and the NBA’s other phenom Lebron James…

And although they won’t be going against each other one on one, this Christmas the Lakers take on destroy the Cavs. 22-4 bitches!

If you’ve been visiting the dopehouse since it was built you should know myself and Mek rep the Lakers with pride. And with the season quickly approaching, Power106 interviews the team during their media day. Bynum and Gasol above; with Artest, Farmar, (a short haired) Vujacic, Morrison and Brown after the jump…

Might as well jump start this off early today. Game 1 is going down in a few hours. Who ya’ll got? I’m taking the Lakers in 6. UPDATE: One down, three to go. A lot better start than last year’s. SHAKE UPDATE: That’s right. Just like I thought… no phone calls, no text messages, etc. Take that take that!

With Game 1 around the corner, Jay Rock drops off an anthem for the soon-to-be NBA Champions. That’s right, I said it. Shouts to Digital Product.

The dopehouse gets the honor of premiering the brand new mixtape from the Los Angeles based group, Custom Made. The sixth installment of their Street Cinema series features a compilation of tracks that were recorded during sessions for Truth Be Told (Rawkus / 2007), Heavy Traffic (Custom Made / 2007), Great Expectations (Custom Made / 2008) and Original Dynasty (Babygrande / 2008); as well as a few new tracks.

Are the Nuggets gonna tie the series back up? Or are the Lakers gonna pull ahead and take a commanding lead? I vote for option 2. END GAME UPDATE: Damn, Smith had a hell of a game. And the Lakers aren’t gonna win when they let 7 players have double digit scorring. Back to LA we go…

Ariza!

40 points. Yessir! Series will be closed out this Thursday.

By the time this post goes up, I should be enjoying an ice cold Corona at either ESPN Zone or Buffalo Wild Wings, getting ready to watch Game 1 of the second round. We usually make the post after the game but I figured I’d get it up before hand so folks can talk it up during the game. Let’s go Lakeshow!

MEK DOT’S TWO CENTS: Lakers can’t keep playing as if they’re destined for the chip without lifting a finger. And where is the bench?

Next?

Two words… Black Mamba.
