Christmas with the Laker's

In honor of our time off - yeah it's our time off too - that comes to an end tonight we've been focusing on our Christmas shopping. We've thought long and hard about each and everyone of the Lakers (and some of the staff too) and we're convinced we've picked up the perfect gift for each of them.

Kobe Bryant

A team photo so he can look at it every morning and remember who he should be passing the ball to. Admittedly he's doing quite well so far this season with "playing team ball", but January would be no time for a slip up and reappearance of Dr. Jekyll... better to keep him on track.

Luke Walton
New ankles Chris Mihm style. Hey, he just signed a nice contract what better time to take a few seasons off for his own good? Then he can come back during PB&J's last year (under current contract) and work on his timing for an entire season while the rest of the team and the world watches in horror. This would be less nailbiting than hoping his ankle doesn't snap every time he gets out of bed, or if his bed falls on him?

Lamar Odom

A hand held mirror so he can further admire his hair cut, as he clearly takes more pride in that than he does in his professional basketball career... judging solely based on his commitment to consistency. We'll even throw in a new brush.

Jordan Farmar

A date with us.

Trevor Ariza

Sacred Hoops/The Last Season double pack. It may help?

Derek Fisher

We're not gonna link it because we'd never endorse such behavior/we're to lazy but you may have heard of the "Punch in the balls o-gram" service. It's almost a holiday gram from your local dancing singing bear, instead, whomever D.Fish sends this gram to will be punched in the balls. He could just pick a name out of the phone book in Utah.

Kwame Brown

A new suit. As many games as he's spent on the bench this season, he's got to be running out of them by now!

Chris Mihm

A contract buyout so we don't have to watch him anymore. This is probably more of a present to ourselves but it's a good deed, indeed.

Sasha Vujacic

We couldn't decide between a brand new pack of head bands to match all of the Laker's uniforms or a get out of jail free card for "Those nights when you can't buy a 3".

Vladimir Radmanovic

Tickets to All Star Weekend in N'awlins. There's no snow there right?

Ronny Turiaf

DDR. Really no explanation needed here.

Andrew Bynum

We'll pay for him to take a public speaking course down at the community college. Watching him give an interview is almost as painful as watching Mihm run up the court. Hell we'll even pay the $12 student health fee and for a parking pass.

Javaris Crittenton

A hamburger. Starving children can't play in the NBA.

Coby Karl
An authentic Laker's jersey. Seriously.


Phil Jackson
A self censoring microphone. We actually love the comments he's made around the league (Brokeback anyone?) but ... well actually, we like his apologies even better, maybe we'll hold off on this one?

Dr. Buss

A designated driver over the age of 18.

Jeanie Buss

An engagement ring. PB&J isn't getting any younger, and Hollywood the NBA needs a good wedding story. Gotta get this one under way before the next annual hip installment.

Mitch Kupchak

We're actually not Cupcake haters over here, he's kind of like the current President of the United States - whatever - so we'll just give him permission to go to Camp David and uh, vacation or whatever.

Kareem Abdul-Jabar

A clue. He always looks so... bewildered or perhaps we should just get him a shiny pair of sunglasses?

Jack Nicholson

Finally, his own parking spot at the practice facility. Practice is pretty much the only thing Jack doesn't do for/with the Lakers, maybe this'll change his mind and he'll start actively contributing from the bench.
