Exciting news for favorite Dallas retail spot CENTRE this week: the launch of their fully revamped, rethought website (gotocentre.com) and the celebration of their 2-year anniversary this Saturday (flyer below, duh).

In a shocking turn of events, everyone seems to be on Kobe’s you-know-what these days. First, The New York Times publishes an article claiming Kobe has been rival-less his entire career; Then, Shaq goes on the record by tweeting “I want kobe bryant to get number four, spread da word”; Even Mr. President himself goes [...]

Gilberto is taking a well-deserved break from Texas in none other than sunny Los Angeles aka home sweet home. I am here for a week to primarily a) watch my boys (Lakers) and b) get ridiculously tanned (Palm Springs). At least that’s what I tell everyone. My real mission? Find the Korean BBQ Taco Truck [...]

I have never been to Houston before (for a few reasons which we can discuss later) but for a Lakers playoff game you can get me to go almost anywhere. That said, tomorrow Gilberto and I are headed to see the Lakers pound down on the Houston Rockets in the second round of the playoffs. The series is tied [...]

Gotta admit I feel kinda bad about Laker Andrew Bynum’s play this series against the Utah Jazz so I decided to go ahead and make him a 6xLarge custom Polo shirt on ralphlauren.com. In Los Angeles Lakers purple and gold, of course. The shirt is so big you can fit seven Rihannas and a publicist [...]

From timesoftheinternet.com:
It looks like Rihanna is moving on from Chris Brown. Rihanna was spotted at Mastro’s Steakhouse in Beverly Hills on Friday dining with Los Angeles Lakers player Andrew Bynum. This is the first time the 21 year old singer has been spotted on a date with someone since the whole incident with Chris [...]

I decided to drink away my sorrows last night over at Guys after the Lakers’ disappointing loss to Portland. Darren at the door was nice enough to let me in with four beautiful girls in hand (all of which were taller than me) after the Persian brothers from USC got in. The night got a little better once I finally got inside [...]

My buddy Andrew Bynum was found this past weekend “partying like a rockstar” at the Playboy mansion. Now I’m no team doctor but if Bynum is well enough to jump ropes and weight-lift playmates he should either be a) traveling with his team pimped-out on the sideline or b) working on his ability to stay healthy for longer [...]

The Summer of 1999. Fred Segal’s Jean Bar was the only place to buy the cool denim; the Lakers were on the verge of a dynasty; Diesel was actually cool; Il Tramezzino hadn’t even expanded yet. Things in Los Angeles were good — real good. Gilberto was but a few months removed from high school [...]

So because Nike obviously hates Kobe Bryant and refuses to put out a good commercial with him in it, we have to settle for their work with LBJ and Tiger Woods. Nike’s “The Good Life” commercial is welcoming back Tiger to the PGA. And as usual, it’s amazing.
In case you were wondering, my vision for [...]

OK, so the phone is not an official Los Angeles Lakers product by any means, but I know my main man Kobe would approve. So would Jerry Buss. Shok made it official the other night that it is time to start thinking about Coachella, so this is the first move I think I’m gonna make [...]

“Shaq — your knuckles look scraped. Did you walk here?”
A few years ago, when Shaquille O’Neal was still a Laker, he and Jamie Foxx hosted a celebrity roast for the then-recently retired NFL superstar Emmitt Smith in Las Vegas. Numerous comedians, mostly black, ripped on or tried to rip on Emmitt & Co. but only [...]

I have a man-crush, and I’m not afraid to say it. He is the coolest guy I have ever met. OK, so I haven’t really ever met him but I feel like I know him. I’ve watched his performances, his interviews, all of his commercials, and I even wear his jersey to sleep when I’m [...]

I am so frustrated that Andrew Bynum is AGAIN injured with a torn MCL that at this point I think we should just take him out back behind Staples Center and just shoot him like they do horses. Although he may be the missing link to our next championship he is no good to us on the sidelines in a pimped-out [...]

Shaq. The Diesel. Shaq Fu. The Big Daddy. Superman. Osama Bin Shaq. The Big Banana. The Big Cactus. The Big Shaqtus. The Big Baryshnikov. The Big Aristotle. And of course, The Big Crybaby Bitch. All in all, Shaquille O’Neal has had his fair share of self-imposed nicknames over the years.
And now, folks, he goes by [...]

You’ve gotta love LA. The City that Always Sleeps has got a trick up its sleeve – in the form of a new ad campaign. First there was “L.A.’s The Place,” then came “Together We’re The Best,” and lastly it was “See My LA.” Fast forward to 2009, where LA’s newest slogan seeks to seek [...]

Inspired by the strain soccer players put on their ankles when out on the “pitch,” Kobe (Cool Guy) and Nike have created the lightest (11.6 oz) and LOWEST basketball shoe ever. Ok, here’s my problem: I understand Kobe is an avid soccer fan, and on the surface his reasoning for creating a low-top sound almost [...]

So the Lakers once again defeat the Dallas Mavericks after another disappointing loss where the Mavs held on to the lead for nearly the entire game… until Kobe Bryant aka The Black Mamba decided to take over. Our new favorite player is Trevor Ariza who has consistently come out with energy and authority, Ariza was scoreless in the first [...]
