When Kobe Bryant returned to the court on December 8 following months of rehab on the repaired left Achilles he'd torn in April, he did so confidently – at least in words. In actions, not so much.
Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers is No. 2 on the list, followed by Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls, Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks.
There are no excuses this time. Not injuries, coaching, the refs. This one was all about one team outworking the other. Washington was hungrier and ate the Nets for dinner.
OK, they were facing the Sixers. But there was definitely something different in Brooklyn last night in the Nets' easy-breezy 130-94 victory.

Here's the issue: Lowry is a free agent after this season. If the Knicks want to re-sign him long-term it will probably cost them around eight million dollars a season, give or take.

Former Nets coach Byron Scott wasn't surprised when current Nets head coach Jason Kidd's relationship deteriorated with Lawrence Frank.
Mike Woodson just had three days of practice. I hope he used them well. It might very well be the last days he will have as head coach of the Knicks to turn this thing around. But he needs help from his players.
I want to introduce Mike Woodson to someone. His name is George Costanza. He once devised a theory that would do Mike Woodson a lot of good today: do the opposite.
Hopefully, as Kidd explained in his press conference, this was all about basketball and not something related to Frank's personal situation.
