SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has food poisoning and might not play tonight against Sacramento in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals.

Bryant missed the Monday morning shootaround and his status will be a game-time decision, team spokesman John Black said.

"He does have food poisoning," Black said. "It's probably from what he ate for dinner last night."

Bryant ate a cheeseburger and a piece of cheesecake from hotel room service. He began vomiting about 11 p.m. and continued through the night, Black said.

Black said none of the other Lakers complained of illness.

Cow town hotel poisoned Kobe. The Bastards! They can't win fairly, so they take out Lakers best player.

I'm surprised they would let them eat random food during the playoffs.

What's he supposed to eat? I don't know how they could prevent this from happening.

Not I. I am cheering for the Kings, but I think they are going to lose to the Lakers. I don't want the Lakers to win another title.

I don't care about them. I would only care about them if I cared who won the Championship. They are the default winners.

Never been there either. I know what they play in Flaker country though. One-on-one me me me basketball. If Shaq were any shorter than 7', he'd be flippin' burgers for a living.

That's right, I'd forgotten that Tex was at that game. Well, the way the Jazz are going, they will never contend for another title in the forseeable future.

Karl and Stockton were both voted in the top ten as ESPN's most dirty players of all times. (that includes all sports)
