Even The Lakers Know That They're An Old Weird Mess

    Kobe Bryant explains why.

    The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Knicks on Christmas Day on national television, and it seemed like finally the team might become the behemoth they were expected to be. Instead, the Lakers have gone 1-2 since that win, including a loss at home to the Bynum-less Sixers last night. ESPN beat writer Dave McMenamin's tweets from inside the locker room after the game show just how far off the rails the Lakers really are.

    Kobe also answered why the Lakers are such a hot mess.
