Lenzy makes adjustments to become true receiving threat

Ellen Geyer | Friday, October 9, 2020

Braden Lenzy takes a lot of ice baths. The junior from Oregon was told he’d never be great if he didn’t. Why’d he trust the man who told him so? Because it was Kobe Bryant. A wide receiver embarking on his third season, Lenzy’s father used to work with the Black Mamba, a reality which

Coolican: The new All-Star Game format was a huge success

Liam Coolican | Wednesday, February 19, 2020

In last week’s Observer Roundtable, while discussing the NBA All-Star Game, I wrote that the it was “nearly unwatchable.” In years past, neither side played any defense whatsoever. Every play ended in either an uncontested dunk or three pointer. It was interesting at first, merely to observe just how offensively talented NBA players are when

McGinley: Reflecting on Sabrina Ionescu’s greatness

Mannion McGinley | Tuesday, February 11, 2020

Here at Notre Dame we focus on the Fighting Irish, but there’s one Fighting Duck at Oregon who’s breaking records and changing the history of basketball — not only the collegiate women’s game, but all of basketball history — including men’s collegiate basketball, the NBA and the WNBA. That Duck is Sabrina Ionescu, a 5’

Adams: An open letter to Kobe and Gigi

Hayden Adams | Thursday, February 6, 2020

No words will suffice to encapsulate what you meant, but I’ll give it a shot. And as I shoot, like every kid from my generation, I’m saying: “Kobe.” Kobe, you never knew who I was; you never even knew that I existed. And that’s not your fault. But I wanted you to know me. I

The great equalizer

Gabriel Niforatos | Wednesday, February 5, 2020

On January 26, 2020 a helicopter crashed near Calabasas, California, and all nine individuals on board died. Among the victims of the crash were basketball legend, husband, father and creator Kobe Bryant as well as his 13 year-old, Gianna. It is difficult to say what Kobe Bryant meant to me, what he symbolized, when I

To my “girl dad”

Olivia Luchetti | Monday, February 3, 2020

This past week, the entire world was shocked by the news of the passing of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi. Tributes from all over the world began pouring in, each one sincere and heartfelt in its own way. However, one testament to Kobe Bryant’s character stood out to me. Elle Duncan’s story of her

Remembering Kobe Bryant

Patrick McKelvey | Friday, January 31, 2020

I’m a Knicks fan. I’ve been a Knicks fan my whole life. Outside of a few semi-magical seasons, I’ve been treated to two decades of bottom-of-the barrel, borderline unwatchable basketball. Sometimes a season will start out promising. But disappointment always rears its head by January. When you’re a Knicks fan, you learn to enjoy the

Dessi Gomez | Tuesday, January 28, 2020

The 2020 Grammy Awards took place on Jan. 26 shortly after the death of basketball player Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna in a helicopter crash that occurred in Calabasas, California. Lizzo opened the ceremony in a beautiful glittery black dress with a set consisting of “Cuz I Love You” followed by “Truth Hurts.” Both

Ward: Rest in peace, Kobe

Jimmy Ward | Monday, January 27, 2020

Former Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant passed away Sunday at age 41 along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna in a helicopter crash. This hits close to home for me. I’ve never been a Lakers fan, but growing up in the heart of Indianapolis, I always felt a deep connection to the game of basketball. I am

Berry: LeBron isn’t enough for the Lakers

Mia Berry | Wednesday, October 10, 2018

The infamous J.R. Smith game-1 debacle and the Warriors’ eventual sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2018 NBA Finals all but assured that there would be The Decision: Part II within the coming weeks. The Lakers won the sweepstakes the second time around, but unlike the promises of championships that came when he teamed
