LOCKED ON LAKERS -- 8/31/16 -Will Brandon Ingram be ready to contribute right away? / Most of the buzz around the NBA during recent weeks in August has centered on NBA 2K’s various ratings for players, and several more leaked on Tuesday.

To discuss this, host Harrison Faigen spoke with Gary Kester of Silver Screen and Roll and Lakers Outsiders, and they gave their thoughts on how much Ingram can bring to the team this year. - - Additionally, the two discussed Clarkson’s improvements, players they think the Lakers should or shouldn’t bring to training camp, and Ivica Zubac’s enjoyable Twitter presence. - Learn more about your ad choices.

LOCKED ON LAKERS -- 8/29/16 -- Jason Terry's Hilarious Calls Around The NBA, Discussing NBA 2K Player Rankings And 'Harrison's
LOCKED ON LAKERS -- 8/29/16 -- Jason Terry's Hilarious Calls Around The NBA, Discussing NBA 2K Player Rankings And 'Harrison's Hot Takes' Returns / The Los Angeles Lakers (reportedly) have 16 players on a roster they’ll have to trim down to at most 15 before the start of the season, meaning the team is highly unlikely to make any further veteran additions in free agency. Jason Terry also agreed to terms with the Milawaukee Bucks earlier this month, which made it all the more bizarre when he went on the radio and talked about how Luke Walton and the Los Angeles Lakers shot down his request to join them in free agency this week. - - Hosts Harrison Faigen and Anthony Irwin tried (and failed) to keep straight faces while talking about the most random news of August on the latest episode of Locked on Lakers. Later, the two broke down their thoughts on the #LakersRank series at this site, as well as which of the young Lakers would be most fun to play with in 2K, which led to possibly the hottest "Harrison's Hot Takes" segment yet. - Learn more about your ad choices.

The site has an interesting history the guys go through, and speculate on the future of online content based on what's succeeded through the years. What might be next? - - Finally, to wrap the show, Daniel takes us through his hopes and expectations for this young team. He and Anthony are on the same page. - Learn more about your ad choices.

The former sixth overall pick was the third-leading scorer at the Olympics, but it remains to be seen how he’ll fare in his return to the United States. - Hosts Harrison Faigen and Anthony Irwin try to make sense of the Jianlian signing, as well as debating whether or not his highly incentive-based contract could be a problem in the latest episode of Locked on Lakers.

LOCKED ON LAKERS -- 8/15/16 -- Is Zubac ready to play if Mozgov’s injury lingers? / Ivica Zubac was awesome for the #Lakers during Las Vegas Summer League. The 19-year old center ranked second in blocked shots at 2.6 per game and looked much less raw than most expected. - - Zubac’s high-level of production has many Lakers fans just as high on him moving forward, but could he really step in right now if Timofey Mozgov’s injuries pile up?

Kobe Bryant Amazing last 3 minutes in his FINAL GAME vs Jazz / LOS ANGELES (AP) Kobe Bryant scored 60 incredible points. He carried a miserable Los Angeles Lakers team to an improbable comeback victory.
And with sweat and confetti all over his gold uniform for the final time, he expressed humble thanks to his fans and family for their loving support over two decades.
"What else can I say?" Bryant asked. "Mamba out."
Now that's a Hollywood ending to a remarkable career.
Bryant utterly dominated his final game Wednesday night, wrapping up 20 NBA seasons with one last offensive showcase in the Lakers' 101-96 victory over the Utah Jazz.
He scored 23 points in the fourth quarter, posting his first 50-point game since February 2009 and rallying the Lakers from a 15-point deficit to win the final game of the worst season in franchise history.
It was messy, ridiculous and magical - even to the man who did it so many times over 20 years.
"It's hard to believe it happened this way," Bryant said. "I'm still shocked about it."
With the entire Staples Center crowd standing, Bryant made a 3-pointer with 59 seconds left. He hit another with 31 seconds to play, putting the Lakers ahead 97-96. He finished with an assist before checking out for good with 4.1 seconds left in just the Lakers' 17th win of the season.
"The perfect ending would have been a championship," Bryant said with a smile. "But tonight was (me) trying to go out, play hard and try to put on a show as much as I possibly could. It felt good to be able to do that one last time."
Bryant and his teammates conspired for one last omnivorous scoring performance by the third-leading scorer in NBA history. He played 42 minutes and took a career-high 50 shots, his teammates attempting to set him up for points on nearly every possession.
Kobe came up with the fifth highest-scoring game of his career. He became the oldest player to score 50 points in an NBA game.
The entire night was a tribute to Bryant, who is retiring after 20 seasons, five championship rings and 18 All-Star selections with the Lakers, who honored him before and after the game. Bryant is just the fifth player in NBA history to play 20 seasons, and the first with just one team.
"I think the most important part is that we all stayed together throughout," Bryant said to the crowd. "You'll always be in my heart, and I sincerely, sincerely appreciate it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you guys."
He also had a few laughs after finishing his 1,346th regular-season game with 33,643 career points.
"The thing that had me cracking up all night long is, I go through 20 years of everybody screaming to pass the ball," Bryant said with a grin. "And then the last night, they're like, `Don't pass it!"'
It was daylong tribute with thousands of fans thronging the downtown streets around Staples Center and chanting his name from early afternoon. Fans
