Lakers gacked against the Mavericks last night, not that anyone will remember the game result in a few weeks.

But Shannon Brown, for the second time already this season, did give us a reason to mark Halloween Eve, 2009. Read more…

With the Artest sign and the KhlOdom debacle, I’ve never looked forward to a Lakers season so much.

(One reason I find the Lakers so delightful. Obligatory Josh Powell wife pic.)
Last night, thanks to a good friend, I was third row. Which means I was closer to the court than the Kardashians. Read more…

We’ve all been there. (Except maybe Deion.)

In 2005 and 2007 HBO aired documentaries on brothels run by a guy named Dennis Hof. The docos covered Hof’s ‘Bunny Ranch’ in Nevada, which is a legal bordello.

(Perfectly legal. *High Five*)
Hof guested on Jorge Sedano’s morning show on 790 The Ticket in Miami today, and had a not-too-shocking revelation about a certain NBA Owner.

Photo of Los Angeles Laker Josh Powell and his new bride Lauren at the NBA 2K10 Video Game Launch Party last month.

(My, what a fattering flattering angle)
I have a feeling their marriage is a smidge more legitimate than the Lamar Odom-Khloe Kardashian coupling, in which Lauren accompanied Powell.

(At KhlOdom Fake Wedding)
Lauren, who is 25, is from Baton Rouge. More pics after the jump.

We’ve been waiting all these years for Vanessa Bryant to breakout into the public eye, perhaps now she has her chance?

Egypt Sherrod reports this week that “sources are buzzing that Bravo TV producers are trying to add NBA superstar Kobe Bryant’s wife Vanessa Bryant to the cast of The Real Housewives of Orange County.”

(Kobe and Vanessa Bryant’s daughter Natalie - future reality star?)

First of all, an aside - has it really been a decade since Wilt Chamberlain passed away? Really. Damn. 10 years and a day. Luckily, just as Chamberlain seemed larger than life, so too do many of his accomplishments stand longer than his life. What’s that? Oh, we’re talking about basketball, of course. You… you’re not still thinking about the tens of thousands of women he conquered, are you?

(Doesn’t it kind of look like two people doing it? No? Okay, we’re stretching on that one.)
Well, just as the record books focus on his on-court activities, his old house still stands as a monument to his off-court persona. It’s not all the same, of course, but even the current owner - a Russian transplant who had never even heard of Chamberlain - still preserving some details of the house in honor of the most prolific ladyslayer of our time.

I spent some time walking around Santa Monica Wednesday night, checking out the bars to see the interest in the Dodgers-Cardinals game. You probably won’t be surprised to find out that there were almost as many people watching the first Lakers preseason game as Round One @ The Ravine. That said, most of the bars were actually half-empty. Interest in the NLDS here is tepid at best, per the not-too-distant disappointments. There’ll be very little reax unless there’s an NLCS to be endeavored.

(6-4 Shannon Brown Crowns 7-foot Mikki Moore)
Meanwhile, early-October Laker fans were duly rewarded by Shannon Brown’s astounding throwdown on Golden State’s Mikki Moore last night in the O.C.

As we revealed last week, for the photo shoot on a SPORTS ILLUSTRATED article, we’ll all be treated to one of the choicest dimepieces the world’s ever seen. Also, next to her will be Ron Artest, who we’re told plays the “basket’s ball.” Never heard of him, really, and haven’t we already talked about him enough? Yes, we have, and let’s talk about Natalin Avci instead.

(Ho. Lee. S**t.)
Natalin, as you’ve probably deduced, is the friendly young lady seated next to Artest (how’s that even pronounced? Like “artist,” or with the accent on the second syllable? Seriously, never heard of this guy ever).

(Inset photo)
We can talk more about her in a little bit, but first five words you’ve been waiting for: More pics after the jump. You’re welcome.

• The Dolphins held the ball for more than 30 minutes longer than the Colts, but it was Peyton Manning & Co. who left Land Shark Stadium with a 27-23 win on Monday night.

• It’s a Twitter trifecta: First, Redskins rookie LB Robert Henson takes “dim wit” Washington fans to task for booing at FedEx Field.
• Then Marcus Fitzgerald bitches on behalf of brother Larry about the lack of catches the Cardinals WR is getting.
• And Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema admits that one of his scouting techniques is following the Tweets of opposing players.
• A South Carolina man is sentenced to life in prison without parole for the vicious stabbing death of a high school cheerleader.
