You probably remember a few weeks ago when Mark Cuban said the Lakers should consider amnestying Kobe Bryant for the savings. Wonder why Cuban hasn’t really said anything since? Probably because the NBA gave him one million reasons not to.

Steve Nash may be a two-time NBA MVP and top NBA point guard at the age of 38, but there was a time when things weren’t so peachy. We’re talking back in the beginning of his career during those Mavs days, when Nash was just a young blood in Dallas trying to find himself as a basketball player.

While it was a little more low-key than Conan O’Brien and David Letterman having their fun at his expense on the other side of the country, Jay Leno did have a show of his own last night – and one of his guests was none other than Redskins quarterback/possible franchise savior Robert Griffin III.

It’s almost Super Bowl time, so it’s already Super-Bowl-commercial-leaking time. We delved into Matthew Broderick’s coolly received Ferris Bueller-ish ad yesterday, and this morning, via our pals at Geekosystem, we became aware of another car commercial starring someone whose work helped define a generation.

As you might have heard, Kobe Bryant’s getting divorced, and the rumor swirling is that gossip among basketball wives helped lead to the split.

President Barack Obama went on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night in order to have an in-depth policy discussion look charming in front of a large audience as the 2012 election draws nearer. One subject that came up during the Obama-Leno chat: the ongoing NBA lockout. Yes, the president is still sad about it.

The Kansas City Chiefs are, in all likelihood, going to have a rough season. After losing safety Eric Berry to a season-ending ACL tear in Week 1, star running back Jamaal Charles was lost to a torn ACL in Week 2. With two of their most important players done for the year, and a sub-.500 year staring them in the face, you would think things could not get much worse. You’d be wrong, of course.

Jon “Bones” Jones appeared on Jay Leno last night, continuing his media coming-out party after becoming the youngest champion in UFC history.

Before Dwight Howard threw his “Larger Than Life” party last night, he had some business to attend to – namely, an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Given that Charles Barkley has a reputation for saying whatever is on his mind at all times, he’s a natural talk show guest…so it makes sense that jay Leno welcomed him to ,em>The Tonight Show last night.
