Lakers News:

▷ Metta Wold Peace tweets that “Steve Curry is top 10 player in the NBA.

▷ Mitch Kupchak snubbed in Executive of the Year voting, did not receive a single vote.

“Turns out that’s the fine line between brilliance and not receiving a single vote for Executive of the Year. Even if it’s not his fault the talent he brought together never found it’s way.”

▷ Pau Gasol has tendonosis in knees, needs surgery.

“This surgery could turn out to be a blessing in disguise – one that keeps Gasol in LA.”

‘WTF’ NBA headline of the day:

▷ Crazy middle-finger lady from Heat-Bulls game was once accused of murder.

“Yikes. Talk about an interesting twist to a fascinating photograph. I guess none of us should be surprised that she was crazy enough to shove a middle finger in Noah’s face.”

Controversial NBA headline of the day:

▷ The best coach in the NBA.

“Voters seem to have historically bet that the coach of the “little team that could” must be doing a hell of a job. But giving the award to someone other than who we think is the best coach has robbed the award of a great deal of authority.”

Did you know:

The last time the second-round began without the Lakers or Celtics was in 2007 – before Pau Gasol arrived in LA or the big three formed in Boston.

Gail Goodrich fact of the day:

When he was a 6-1 All-City guard at Los Angeles Polytechnic High School, he was told he was too small to play college basketball.

Quote of the day:

"In basketball – as in life – true joy comes from being fully present in each and every moment, not just when things are going your way. – Phil Jackson"
