Laker Nation

According to teammate Derek Fisher, Bryant told him that his knee is the best it’s been in a long time, which is great news for Laker Nation… and not so great news for the other 29 teams.

According to multiple news outlets, Lakers Forward Lamar Odom was involved in a serious car accident tonight (Sunday) when his driver crashed into a motorcyclist while transporting Lamar to his cousin’s funeral in Queens, New York.

David Brickley and Jason Riley are LIVE from their Fox Sports Radio studios in Burbank for another LIVE edition of Voice of the Nation. Tonight, newly drafted Laker guard Andrew Goudelock joins the show.

The NBA lockout won't stop Voice of the Nation from coming to you LIVE, tonight, at 8pm PT (11pm ET). David Brickley, Jason Riley and Kevin Figgers will take a look at all the happenings (and non-happenings) in Laker-Land and around the NBA.

It hasn’t been a pleasant week for Lakers star Kobe Bryant. After news broke that he underwent an experimental treatment on his right knee, he now finds himself at the center of a lawsuit. This time around, a woman by the name of Selina Miller is making some, well… rather outrageous claims against Bryant.

With the first 24 hours of the NBA lockout nearly in the books, Kobe Bryant may be headed East… far East… and not necessarily for vacation. The L.A. Times has reported that Kobe Bryant has expressed serious interest in headlining a basketball tour that would likely take place in Shanghai this summer.

With the NBA lockout potentially hours away, Voice of the Nation isn’t taking any time off. David Brickley, Jason Riley and Kevin Figgers are joined by Darius Morris and NBA.com's Sekou Smith.

More than sixty player representatives – including Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Blake Griffin – joined union president Derek Fisher in New York today to let one thing be known to the owners:

It's Wednesday, and that means we're back for another LIVE edition of Voice of the Nation. David Brickley, Kevin Figgers and Jason Riley are joined tonight by Hoopsworld.com columnist Eric Pincus and NBA.com's Scott Howard Cooper.

Finally, we can step away from the rumors for a few minutes to report some legitimate news. The Lakers TV play-by-play team next season will be comprised of Bill MacDonald and Stu Lantz, who will cover all of the Fox Sports West and KCAL 9 games.

As Minnesota continues search for high-level player in exchange for No. 2 pick, source says T-Wolves made offer for Lakers C Andrew Bynum.

It has been another rumor-swirling day here in Laker-land, and we're not quite done yet. According to sources over at ESPN L.A., head coach Mike Brown will add ex-University of Utah coach Jim Boylen to his staff.

Have the Lakers and Timberwolves had a few conversations in the past week? Yep. Has it necessarily been about the rumored swap of Pau Gasol for Kevin Love and a #2? Maybe not…

I know, and I get it… The LeBron James column writing party (indirectly sponsored by Dan Gilbert) ended 72 hours ago. Fortunately for me, this is Los Angeles, where 6pm means tomorrow afternoon and I’ll touch base with you next week means I’ll most likely never call you again.
