ICYMI: My column from last night's Kings-Sharks game. espn.go.com/los-angeles/nh…

The U.S. team will now now compete against a squad from Russia and Canada but hopefully refunds will be made available to the Iranian fans.

No official reason was given for their abrupt departure after competing against the U.S. in New York on Wednesday.

The Iranian national wrestling team was scheduled to compete against the U.S. in L.A. on Sunday but they have left and departed for Iran.

Very cool, on PJax from the NYT Magazine: ow.ly/l8e7x BK

Joe Calzaghe needs to come out of retirement instead if teasing. I want to see Ward vs Joe. Put up or shut up! boxingscene.com/joe-calzaghe-g…

The @LAKings have developed a home ice advantage this season that has extended into the playoffs. espn.go.com/los-angeles/nh…

Will the finals be Kia Shine vs Trick Daddy Yo Gotti vs Rick Ross Or The Diversed Cowboys vs Michigan Rd

Can Grizzles Bears survive The Heat. R they uncomfortable in that type of weather? Can Grizzles put out fires?

When shots like Curry's and Klay Area rattles tales out the gutter. It makes me think that the Popovich's are destined. 2 3's, In N Out

I'd say Stern put a horse's head in Gavin's bed, but the Maloofs already sold all their horses, I'm sure. BK ow.ly/l7t8z

Magic believes the Grizzlies should be looking to steal Game 1 in San Antonio. BK #analysis

Warriors are a couple pieces away from being serious contenders. They are one short pinky toe away! They don't need a whole toe. Just a nib.

Give a lot of credit to the Spurs. They know how to get it done. A lot of respect for Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker.

Spurs are so brilliant. Parker n manu had monster games mentally. You have to be a fan to understand the impact they had.

The Warriors have a bright future ahead of them. They showed a lot of potential in this year's playoffs.

Let's get ready for some top quality basketball. #SpursvsGrizzlies I can't wait for Sunday afternoon. #WesternConfFinals

Setting the over/under for total points in a SAS/MEM series at 184.5. Whadda ya' got? BK

FINAL: Kings 4, Sharks 3. Yep, that just happened. Kings take a 2-0 series lead.

The tying goal came from Dustin Brown and the go-ahead goal came from Trevor Lewis.

Um, wow. The Kings tie it and then take the lead, 4-3 with 1:20 left in the 3rd period.

Ettore Messina! AK MT @Adrian Wojnarowski: Hawks strongly considering the hiring of the NBA's first European head coach. yhoo.it/11IZlHE

Kopitar returns to the ice to the Rocky theme as the Kings try to come back from 3-2 down with 10:02 left in the 3rd period.

I believe Indiana will win the Series. But!!!!!!! I will not be surprised if The Knicks win because Melo is a closer and Tito is a PROBLEM!

What I am saying is simple. Some teams want a ring. Some teams know they will get a ring. Some want to fish. But only one team will get it!!

Chicago-wanted to accidentally get the ring Dallas-wanted to win it Boston-wanted to win it Denver- just wants run and gun

Warriors-wouldn't mind winning Lakers-wanted it giving to them Okc-just wanted to play ball Indiana- hasn't made up their mind yet

Heat-Wants to win Knicks - thought they would have a chance Spurs- will take advantage of opportunity to win Memphis-will try to win

Daniel LaRusso's gonna fight??? AK #HarrisonBarnes

If golden state Warriors made their mind up that they were playing for a championship , they would have won. The Spurs mind is made up!

I hope @Harrison Barnes comes back and plays in the second half. He's showing a lot of skills. Very impressive.

And it's Kings 2, Sharks 2 at the end of the 2nd period after back-to-back goals by San Jose ties it up.

I could be wrong, but it looked like there was a blood spot on the court. I hope Barnes is okay. AK

I've never heard Oracle so quiet. AK

And Brad Stuart ties it up for San Jose. Kings 2, Sharks 2 with 5:32 left in the 2nd period.

Anyways, a very happy anniversary to @Magic Johnson. One of the best moments in Lakers & NBA history. DB bit.ly/13zLFw8

Magic is still the only player to ever win NBA Finals MVP as a rookie. And I highly suspect it stays that way for a long time. DB

Even now, when rookies are asked to do much more than they used to, you never see anything like that. Ever. Magic was one of a kind. DB

It's still crazy to think about @Magic Johnson stepping in for Kareem as a rookie and leading the team to the title. DB

Happy anniversary to @Magic Johnson, who stepped in for @KAJ33 to lead the Lakers to the title on this day in 1980. bit.ly/13zLFw8

Do you have a trick shot? I know you got something! Kobe: "I got 81 of them!"

For a sense of how @PhilJackson11 was feeling while writing "Eleven Rings," my column from April 2011: bit.ly/euL8ID

The Clips are considering keeping VDN, and if the reasoning is true, Chris Paul should run for the hills. #repost sulia.com/my_thoughts/ca…

Funny part in Phil's book...sets up a meeting with young Kobe + veteran MJ. Kobe's 1st words: "You know I can kick your ass one-on-one."

Phil talked about Kobe's leadership skills in his new book, and compared it to Michael Jordan's. DB bit.ly/16CgF1T

"When Kobe first joined the Lakers, he avoided fraternizing with his teammates." - Phil Jackson. bit.ly/16CgF1T

“Michael was more charismatic and gregarious than Kobe." - Phil Jackson. bit.ly/16CgF1T

Is there anybody that's going to have more insight into the similarities/differences between Kobe & Mike than Phil? Probably not. DB

So, you all know Phil Jackson is writing a new book, right? And, of course, he talks Kobe & Mike. bit.ly/16CgF1T

So Nowitzki wants DHoward or CP3. What team, with cap room, doesn't? He'll take pay cut to make it happen. Not all stars would do that

Good morning everyone from LA! I'm watching the end of the Gulbis and @RafaelNadal match in Rome, and after I'll be going to rehab.

The Clippers won't make any move that would make it harder to re-sign CP3. He will be consulted on everything until he re-signs.
