All Stats Updated From Conclusion of 2024-25 Season
06.23.25
With the NBA season now over, and the OKC Thunder being crowned champs, we have taken the opportunity to get LakerStats completely updated through the end of the 2024-25 season. I know that we got behind a little bit over the last couple years, but we’ve caught up, and all stats are up-to-date and accurate. Just an FYI, we are going to be working on updating box scores of older seasons over the rest of the summer. Right now our internal box scores only go back to the 1989-90 season, and we link to Basketball Reference for box scores before that. But we will be putting all older box scores into our database, it’s just a big process that will take a lot of man hours, but the goal is to get it done all the way back to the inaugural 1948-49 season. It’s a big undertaking, but we’re determined to finish it. Thanks for the support! Go Lakers in 2025-26!
Kobe Elected to 2020 Hall Of Fame Class!
04.04.20
Not that this is any surprise, but the late, great, Kobe Bryant was elected, along with seven others, to the 2020 class of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. With nothing else to talk about right now with the Lakers, it is nice to have something positive to report, even though the world still misses the Black Mamba. Congrats Kobe!

The World Loses A Legend, Kobe Gone At 41
01.28.20
I have been so upset and shocked the last few days as I’m sure you have, I haven’t really thought how to post something on the site. I still don’t know what to really say, except the basketball world lost an icon on Sunday, not to mention Kobe’s lovely 13-old daughter Gigi, and seven other innocent people whose families have lost love ones. It’s a horrible, horrible, unfathomable tragedy that is just so hard to accept, but there’s no choice but to move forward of course.
I’ve always used Kobe’s image as part of the avatar for LakerStats on social media, and his picture has always been on the top left of the site, so I won’t have to make any changes to honor him that way on here. All I can say is RIP to all those innocent people who perished, my prayers go out to Vanessa, Kobe’s children, and all the families and friends who lost loved ones. Also best wishes to Laker fans, Kobe fans, and all basketball fans who have been hit hard by this terrible event. Mamba Out…But Never Forgotten!
Kobe’s Rehab “On Track”
09.05.10
The Sporting News reported today that Kobe Bryant’s rehab from off season arthroscopic knee surgery appears to be “on track” according to Luke Walton.
I’ve seen Kobe at the gym the last couple weeks rehabbing his knee,” Walton told Lakers.com. “He’s itching to get back on the court. He shows up every morning at 7 a.m. at the team’s facility and is kind of wrapping up around the time I get there at around 9 a.m. Kobe looks great—he says his knee feels great. He’s just about to start doing basketball workouts again and can’t wait for it.
So good news indeed, as it seems Kobe will be ready to go when training camp opens.
