Dang....that was just like the Manu incident. I dont' think it deserves a suspension. Jeez...
"If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?"

and yet again....he hits kyle korver in the face with an elbow....


His perception is slowly turning into a dirty player...which I don't like.....I think the KK incident was completely unintentional...the other two shot-elbows maybe....but still...he's justa frustrated player trying to get some superstar calls...

Jackson Says NBA Conducting a 'Witch Hunt' On Kobe

Source: http://tinyurl.com/2e97db

And I agree...How the fuck can a ref blow a call, and the game be final...But they can go back, look at tape, and the assess a flagrant foul that wasn't called in the game...Horrible...

From the player who got fouled:

"I thought it was an offensive foul," he said. "After I saw it on replay, it looked a lot worse than I thought it was during the game. It all happens fast. It's no big deal. It's just part of the game."

Bryant, who is double and triple-teamed by opponents most of the time, wasn't called for the flagrant foul during the game. It was called by the NBA several days later after officials reviewed tapes.

That does sound a little shady... o_0

I heard Phil Jackson was supposed to be compiling a bunch of tapes to show the league that Kobe shoots the same way all the time...

I and a lot of people would be very interested in seeing those tapes.....

cause like I said...and like everyone knows about me....I love Kobe...he is my favorite athlete....but them elbows seemed intentional....and I'd need to see all these tapes in order to agree that it's just a natural shooting motion...

Intentional or not, my beef is with the whole after the fact thing...If the dude that got hit said he thought it was a foul, but didn't think much of it...Jesus...I am just not sure what the big deal is...And they are suspending this man for these incidents...

I saw the incident that cost him the Knicks game, and I haven't watched basketall since...
