Los Angeles, Ca – This marks the first Spring Practice session with new Head Coach Clay Helton and newly named Offensive Coordinator Tee Martin. You can tell something new is in the air at Howard Jones Practice Field. They will take the field in 2016-17 season with a new quarterback as well.
The practice had a good tempo to every period with guys flying around but, a glaring difference coaches were taking an extra second or two to coach up the players. Before it was last get as many reps in as possible oppose to0 the new coach it up now on the fly routine.

Redshirt Junior quarterback Max Browne seems to be the No 1 guy taking all the first team reps, with redshirt freshman Sam Darnold as the No 2. Not too far behind is redshirt sophomore Jalen Greene who has moved back from playing receiver last season this spring.
We spoke to OC Martin after practice to gain his insight on how he felt the team was doing under his reign. He said, “Our goal this spring was to create an identity & we’re doing that, but we are not a finished product yet.” You can tell after watching these great weapons Browne has around him the Trojans will be fun to watch. A few guys stood out in practice from JuJu Smith-Schuster hands, Darreus Rogers looked faster, and the true sophomore RB Ronald Jones II.

Los Angeles, Ca – Will there ever be another Los Angeles Laker like the Greatest of All Time, Kobe Bryant? Indeed, will there ever be another NBA player in history like Kobe Bryant? After a 20-season NBA career, the GOAT, No. 8, No. 24, the greatest player ever, is hanging up his sneakers. The Staples Center is sold out for tonight, has been sold out for this game for months with a crazy buzz of energy – all for Bryant. Great job to the NBA schedulers who allowed No. 24 to finish his career on the Lakers’ home floor, the only floor Kobe has ever called home court.
Two decades after entering the league as the Number One draft pick for the Charlotte Hornets; a score after being the thirteenth pick overall in the 1996 NBA Draft; a lifetime after being acquired by then-Lakers General Manager Jerry West, Kobe is still giving fans of the game feelings. Brought to Los Angeles by the man who is himself The Logo of the NBA, Kobe began his journey to greatness when he was so young he needed a cosigner on his first NBA contract because he was a minor. How silly do those GMs who chose one through twelve on that day feel? One can only speculate as Kobe’s GOAT numbers jump off the page:
NBA Most Valuable Player (2008)
5 x NBA Champion (2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2010)
2 X Olympic Basketball Gold Medalist (2008 Beijing, 2012 London)
2 X NBA Finals MVP (2009, 2010)
18 x NBA All Star (1998, 2000 – 2016)
4 X NBA All Star MVP (2002, 2007, 2009, 2011)
15 X ALL-NBA Team (1999 – 2013)
12 X NBA ALL-Defense (2000 – 2004, 2006 – 2012)
2 X NBA Scoring Champion (2006 – 2007)
NBA Slam Dunk Contest Champion (1997)
NBA ALL-Rookie Second Team 1997
All of these accolades earned with the blood, sweat and thousands of hours the “Black Mamba” has spent on the floor without a crowd, without a team, just a ball and a hoop. Why, then, does Kobe only have one NBA MVP? Haters gonna hate. Dominance engenders jealousy. It is simply insane that the most athletic, competitive, driven, and gifted player in his era hasn’t been recognized more often. I guess people hate on greatness even when it’s so glaringly obvious. Even without scoring another point, Kobe leaves as the Lakers all time leading scorer in team history, a record which may stand for ages.
Asked about how he will approach his final game, Kobe didn’t hesitate, “just like the others. Same routine. Same people.” All business for the silent assassin!
Love him or hate him, true basketball fans will remember where they were April 13th, 2016 when Kobe laced ‘em up for the last time. Woe to the Jazz. He’ll be playing their tune!
13th PICK in Draft finishing his career on 13th of April!

Anaheim, Ca – The Arizona Rattlers (2-0) came in and took tonight’s game from the LA KISS (1-1) in every aspect of the game. When the final buzzer buzzed the KISS were outscored 69-28. The team just looked a step slow versus a historical franchise that has had its fare share of championships rings in the AFL.
Arizona had jumped out to 14-0 lead is 1st quarter before the KISS knew what hit them. LA KISS receiver Donovan Morgan scored their first touchdown on the night with 8 yards pass from Nathan Stanley to make it 14-7 game. Arizona added two more scores before halftime to take 35-21 lead into the locker room.

If you just looked at stat sheet and not the score this game looked closer on paper with Arizona scoring on 6-7 times in red zone with 278 total yards on offense. Then LA KISS were 3-4 in red zone with 273 yards total offense. The one telling stat is Arizona scored 20 points off KISS turnovers with 3 sacks and plenty of hurries from Stanley which lead to too many miss throws.
Coach Omarr Smith was asked after game about tonight’s loss, “Know my team knows what championship football looks like.” & “I knew Arizona was going to play well tonight and execute at high level.” Smith took responsibility for the loss and look to improve in all three phase of the game.
As always a bright light on this LA KISS team is Morgan who lead his team with three touchdowns in the game 92 yards. For the Rattlers a hometown hero from So Cal quarterback Nick Davila had 5 touchdowns and went 20-26 for 193 yards passing. His main target was big #1 Rod Windsor who pulled in 4 touchdowns to lead Rattlers.

The LA KISS fall to 1-1 on the season and will travel for their first road game of the season to face the Cleveland Gladiators (1-1). The Gladiators are coming off 41-29 victory over the Tampa Bay Storm. Let’s watch and see how this team hands this early adversity to start the season.

When asked about the pressure of going after four straight NCAA titles Stewart said, “It’s a huge challenge, and I credit a lot of it to Coach Auriemma and the rest of the staff for all they do for us.”
The Men’s award was a little less predictable, but ultimately the award went to Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield, as he edged the Julius Erving Award winner, Denzel Valentine. Hield led the Sooners to the final four this season and finished his senior campaign averaging over 25 points per game. During his acceptance speech Hield said, “It’s been fun and I can’t be more blessed to be around college basketball, I can’t be prouder and I thank my family for supporting me through the whole journey.” Hield was accompanied by his family to the ceremony, also during his speech he reminisced on building his own basketball hoop with his brother and cousin, it was a very touching moment from a true gentleman.
2016 Long Beach Grand Prix Pro / Celebrity Drivers at Media Day for the Last Race. (Photo by William Johnson)
Long Beach, CA – This year will mark the 40th year for Toyota Pr0 / Celebrity race on April 16th on the streets of Long Beach. The Long Beach Grand Prix will continue on with the race being their 42nd year for the main races. Some familiar faces have chosen to be in this last race, 19 former winners to round out one of the largest fields. On April 5th the Celebrities had the opportunity to participate in two practice rounds to get back acquainted with the speed of the cars and the track. This great event has been able to benefit RACE For Kids in the tune of over $2.3 million over the past 24 years. All good things must come to an end, two time winner Alfonso Ribeiro said, ““We love being here, I look forward to it every year, even when I wasn’t racing in it. I always looked out for what happened.”

Some might ask what brought on this change, The head sponsor Toyota is moving its North American headquarters from Torrance, Ca to Plano, Texas. So we can blame cheaper land, tax credits, tax incentives that the city of Torrance overlooked. Sometimes the grass is greener on the other side….
“Toyota said they weren’t able to commit to providing the support that’s required for the (pro/celebrity) race,” said Grand Prix of Long Beach President and CEO Jim Michaelian. “The cars, the mechanics, the training for drivers. It’s huge, and they felt that now that they’re in Texas, they were no longer able to keep the race going at a functional level.”
So fans better enjoy this race and cheer on their favorites celebrity as they blaze the track for the last time in Long Beach. The rest of Long Beach Grand Prix will continue at least to 2017 on paper based on the current contract. For tickets or more info on 42nd 2016 Toyota Long Beach Grand Prix click here : 42nd TLBGP
