Makings of a Legend

Kobe Bryant can easily win the debate in the favor of whether he is a legend or not. From his number of championships learned to his multiple achievements, he defines a modern day legend. His demeanor and swagger all fits very well with his accomplishments. But a legend doesn't cease here........

Casual Baseball

Picking out game day attire for a baseball game is super easy. During baseball season you have to consider the transition from the cold to the warm weather so dressing for comfort is the key. Dont dress for a windy day and it is very humid outside. Baseball is a casual sport so no one's going to be worried about what you have on, although wearing anything is not an option. Be ready with these choices.

Simply Soccer

Like baseball, soccer is during a weird time. It is a spring sport but the weather isn't exactly warm. There will be days were there might be a chill in the air, or an extra beam of sunlight. Less is more sometimes; no heels or make-up needed. Simple is the best way to go. Something similar to the looks below will have you looking fabulous on any game day.


 

LAKERS ON THE RISE

LOS ANGELES -- Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers really think they're on to something, even if it's nothing revolutionary. They're gaining confidence in their newfound attitude and approach with each victory they're producing.

Not even a fantastic fourth-quarter rally by the New Orleans Hornets could shake Kobe's conviction that the Lakers have finally figured out a few things about their puzzling season. Dwight Howard scored 24 and 11 assists in another pass-first performance, and the Lakers hung on to beat New Orleans 111-106 on Tuesday night for their first three-game winning streak in five weeks.
Earl Clark had 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Lakers (20-25), who jumped to an 18-point lead midway through the fourth quarter with their third consecutive game of patient passing and hard-nosed defense quarterbacked by Bryant. The fifth-leading scorer in NBA history has warmly embraced his new role as a playmaker -- no surprise for somebody whose first basketball muse was Magic Johnson.
"It's working pretty well," said Bryant, whose 39 assists in the Lakers' past three games are the biggest three-game total of his 17-season career. "It's very easy for me to look over the defense and know where they're coming from, just kind of line my guys up in the right way and just pick them apart."
With Bryant running the show, the Lakers even survived a frenetic finish. Their lead dwindled to 102-101 with two minutes left shortly after an electric 16-2 run in a 2½-minute stretch by the Hornets, but Clark hit a layup and Steve Nash calmly buried a 3-pointer with 1:21 left to clinch Los Angeles' ninth consecutive victory against New Orleans.
Nash had 12 points and five assists, while Antawn Jamison scored 16 points. Four-time All-Star Pau Gasol had seven points, seven rebounds and seven assists as a reserve in the Lakers' final home game before a seven-game trip, their longest of the season, while the Grammy Awards take over Staples Center.
The trip should be daunting for the Lakers, who have lost 15 of 20 on the road this season, including seven straight since Christmas. Instead, they're optimistic about trying out their new approach in a hostile environment.
"We're doing a good job of not being selfish, and of doing whatever we can to help our team win," Howard said. "Things are clicking for us. Our offense is a lot smoother, and on defense we're really holding each other accountable."
Sounds simple -- but the Lakers have rarely looked this good in their complex season.

Fashion Don'ts on Game Day

1. Don’t wear heels that are over three inches. You don’t want to fall in front of thousands of people during half-time.

2. It’s not a club, don’t wear halter tops or short skirts

3. Going with a jersey? Wear one that fits. If it’s over sized and knee length, it’ll look like an oversized night gown.
