If you don't have a man crush on Hornets guard Chris Paul, the problem is you. Perhaps you're too partisan to recognize how good he is, or don't want to because his talent drives New Orleans and therefore threatens the Lakers. Or maybe you're a woman, making it by definition impossible to have a man... (original story)

The sloppy victory didn't even require the services of Kobe Bryant, who wisely decided to give his hyperextended knee a rest rather than play in a contes... (original story)
