Stu Lantz Blog

The man. The myth. The microphone. A game-by-game treasury of sound bites. You didn't hear it here first. You heard it on the Lakers Basketball Network.

Stu as Stu: But Nick Young, keep the smile fella. 2:37 left, shot clock winding down. Nick, what are you gonna do? Stu as Swaggy P: I'm gonna shoot a long range one and then... Stu as Stu: Yeah... do your thing.

And with that foul, we've got another stoppage. Let's sell something, ok? I don't know what it is we're gonna sell, but let's sell something.

Don't...! I get asked a lot of times why I don't want to get into coaching. This is exactly the reason. This would drive me bonkers. That's not a far drive either.

That last basket though by Kobe. Shot clock at about 4. He recognizes it and then lets it fly. And it kept flying and flying and finally said, 'splash!'

I gotta tell you a story real quick. I was talking to Kurt Rambis today, and Kurt says, 'Guess where I'm going on my vacation.' And I said, 'Where's that?' And he says, 'Off the Kosta Koufos.' It's few of his jokes that I appreciate, but that one was pretty good. That's a Kurt Rambis special.

Maybe Xavier should put in his contract 'I only play home games.' What a different player.
