NBA admits that Kobe was fouled

[TheMarkMadsen]

per ESPN

http://www.nba.com/official/

where you at haters?

how much should Kobe be fined when the NBA agrees with him?


Disrespecting the refs saying that was a foul and should have been called. I like how he changed it too, took out the word foul from the tweet and says it should have been "called". :oldlol:

It should be a big fine. This needs to stop.

:facepalm

[White Mamba]

why is this even a Q?

the rule is very clear, of course its a foul. there are rules about this.

[brandonislegend]

Idk why people need this to happen if you have ever played basketball past middle school you know that is a foul

[Hoiids]

A foul doesn't mean it was a dirty play.

He still disrespected officials, which is what the NBA doesn't want to happen.

Probably won't get fined, but still shouldn't have said what he said.

he said it was a foul and that the refs need to protect shooters..

and the NBA agrees :confusedshrug:

[Replay32]

It was a foul. But the refs usually swallow their whistle at the end of games.

[Levity]

whether the act was malicious or not, never crossed my mind. What i couldn't understand was how so many posters tried so hard to say it wasnt a foul and even went as far to blame it on kobe. The thought process of haters is perplexing.

[imnew09]

Only haters/retards say it wasn't a foul.

ISH is getting pretty bad with the high amount of stupidity.

[Kobe 4 The Win]

Just confirming what anyone with two eyes could see. Only guys that have a personal agenda against Kobe would refute this.

[NBASTATMAN]

It was a foul. But the refs usually swallow their whistle at the end of games.


THIS.

I think it was a dirty play cuz Jones has gone after Kobe before and that should be looked into. The refs usually don't call that foul at the end of a game. Especially since he didn't hit him while taking the shot.

[tazb]

They should look at it one more time, the first foul was committed by Kobe on his leg kick.

[Levity]

Im sure they looked at it a few times before coming to a decision.

Nah, we should agree with salty virgin tazb, a bandwagon who trolls/hates all day behind his computer because his knowledge to the game is potato :bowdown:

[No Evans!]

Did the NBA also acknowledge Dwight's mauling of Ivan Johnson?

[tmacattack33]

the rule is very clear, of course its a foul. there are rules about this.


Uhh, players and coaches still get fined for complainingg about fouls, regardless of whether or not they were right.

[funnystuff]

Who cares? Either way its a loss.

[ripthekik]

I think it's great. Just make a list of everyone who said it's wasn't a foul/ Kobe was acting/ etc in the last 2 days, then we get our mini-list of Kobe haters:lol

their credibility from now on is absolutely trash.

[alleykat]

It was a foul....I've been injured in the exact same manner...it can be career threatening following through like that..

[Legends66NBA7]

Who cares? Either way its a loss.

Because Kobe could have drained the free throws and they would have gone to OT and probably changed the outcome to a win.

:confusedshrug:

Do you even ball bro?

[SacJB Shady]

On knbr rod brooks said with Kobe shooting in a tight game u got to do anything possible except hit him in the face

[MaxFly]

Posters often ask why the Mods don't close/delete certain threads, and incidents like these are exactly why. Now you have something to crow about and you know exactly which posters to single out. Should be great ammunition for certain posters moving forward.

You're welcome.

:confusedshrug:
Technically, Kobe would have shot the free throws then probably left the game.

[Legends66NBA7]

NO.

It's possible... just using scenarios.

That too. But the Lakers could have had the chance to win.

[SilkkTheShocker]

All this whining and they still lost the game.

[funnystuff]

:cheers:

[MaxFly]

All this whining and they still lost the game.

Which can be argued was contributed to by the missed call.

All the whining may cause the league to be more vigilant in upholding the rule and protecting the health and safety of NBA players. This missed call and the resultant clamor may help avoid such incidents in the future.

where you at haters?

:facepalm

Funny how NBA is always right and you always agree with their decisions? Wasn't too long ago Laker fans thought the Artest no call that turned out to be a flagrant by the NBA, most lakers said that was a no call. Should we have banned those posters for disagreeing with the league?

You're a joke if you think that. The ball was already out of Kobe's hands by the time Jones even came near him or even touched him. It's not Jone's fault Kobe lands on his ankle. Maybe if he didn't kick out his other leg, he would have had two legs to land on instead of one.

:facepalm Refute my points, bitch.

[No Evans!]

:facepalm

If you lose to a team missing 3 starters, 2 important bench pieces, and starting Petro, Tolliver, and Jones I wouldn't blame it on a "missed" call

[elementally morale]

:facepalm Refute my points, bitch.

Are you sure you are important enough to be refuted?

[ripthekik]

No surprise, the same old idiots.

That wasn't a foul, that wasn't dirty and from what it looks like, kobe's playing possum.

All you have to do is watch the video.

On the play, Kobe kicks his right leg out to create space when shooting (an offensive foul, something refs are not tolerating this year, the jump shot leg kick).

Doing this twists his body and leads to landing with a lot of weight and landing while turning on his left foot. (left himself vulnurable).

And all Jones was doing was trying to fight through the leg kick, not letting Kobe get that extra space he was trying to create by doing it. The space where Kobe's leg is (which Jones pushes into) is the defender's space, not the shooter's.

Truthful analysis. Get mad all you want.

Looked like a clean play to me.

It wasnt a legit foul.

Jones clearly DID NOT run into him.

infact, Jones DID NOT even "TOUCH" Kobe!

Referees made a CORRECT decision not calling it & deciding the game on the FTs.

Kobe needed to hit that. It was an open fadeaway & he blew it.

ChokeBE at his best! against a Playoff calibre team.

Shut Up U whiny B!tch.. that is asinine. If anything He stopped Short so he didn't barrel into Kobe who BTW kicked out his other Leg trying to Draw a foul so his Feet came down closer to defender than a normal fadeaway would of.

[Legends66NBA7]

What are the chances Kobe faked the injury because the foul wasn't called?

I think someone posted that he's a got a Grade 2 Level sprain and would be out a week or 2.

He tweeted about the ankle too:

http://sports.nationalpost.com/2013/03/14/kobe-bryant-ankle-injury-twitter-rant-on-ankle-sprain-dahntay-jones/

So yeah, he didn't fake that, but I think he shouldn't miss much time, if any.

[Levity]

:facepalm Refute my points, bitch.

sure, id love to.

the rule is, once the offensive player is in the air, you cannot touch him at all, and have to allow him room to land safely. Jones didnt allow the latter to happen, resulting in kobe losing his footing. That right there is a text book foul. Whether it was intentional or not is not up to us to decide.

Did you make that up yourself?

[SilkkTheShocker]

Im not going to lie, I laughed seeing him get hurt.

[funnystuff]

Whoaaa, starting to sound like a Chicago fan.

[crisoner]

Jones, by rule, must give the airborne man room to land. He did not. And why are the rules so clear on that point? Because if defenders are allowed to move under shooters, that's a way to alter a scorer's shot and mental approach to the shot without actually playing defense. At a minimum, that's a foul. Period.

End Thread........

Ah, well hopefully he recovers nicely to keep his team in the playoffs.

and your hero doesnt always deliver



Deal with it.

[KrizMiz]

So what ? they miss calls in every game, get over it - it happened, you cant change it.....

kobe fans... mad at this ....

[crisoner]

It was a foul...now please NBA fine Jones because that was a dirty f*cking play.

[brwnman]

That's not even arguable. It's a foul. But as far as it being a dirty play? I just don't see that either. I don't see the intent behind it to call it dirty. Many players get away with sliding under, because it just so happens that the offensive player doesn't always land on the player's foot. Foul? Yes Dirty? Nope...

[Levity]

Did you make that up yourself?

Hate to break it to you, but I certainly did not.

[bagelred]

This is beyond ridiculous.

Why does the league feel the need to comment on this ONE PLAY? Why? There were 11 games last night. Did they review all 48 minutes of every game to see if any other foul calls were missed? Because I'm sure there were plenty.....why aren't they commenting on those? What about the other 47.5 minutes of the Lakers game? Any other bad calls?

This is nonsense. The refs miss calls. They make calls when they shouldn't. Human error and judgments are simply part of the game. Can't we just accept it instead of this nonsense?

[ispin69]

Hate to break it to you, but I certainly did not.

Go ahead and cite your sources then.
Hopefully on an official nba website.

League officials usually review plays like this that come down to the last few seconds. The link in the OP cited another game from earlier this year where a missed call at the end of a close game happened. Den/Ind to be specific.

[Legends66NBA7]

Ah, well hopefully he recovers nicely to keep his team in the playoffs.

The Lakers and Kobe himself could have afforded him sitting some games out if they were 10-15 games above .500, but now I'm pretty sure Kobe's going to push everything he can to play even tommorrow with the Lakers fighting to make that final spot.

Chemistry, coaching, and health issues bited this team in the ass.

[Levity]

go ahead and cite your source saying its not a foul. Hopefully on an official nba website.

secondly, the link in the OP pretty much said what i said. Is that site not official enough for you?

It's a common practice. There have been at least 2 (and quite possibly 3) apologies from the NBA to the Raptors on last second fouls. Raptors always get the short end of the stick, and have to settle on stupid apologies. It has cost them around 5 games this season...

[crisoner]

So what ? they miss calls in every game, get over it - it happened, you cant change it.....

kobe fans... mad at this ....

Well if you have been reading through the threads. There have been plenty of haters saying it wasn't even a foul. In fact they went as far as saying that Kobe fouled him.

YUP


I still have them at 8 maybe 7. But kiss the 6th seed good bye if Kobe misses a good chunk of time.

[Remix]

The best part was the baseline official was more interested in watching Kobe's shot than watching the landing. His eyes were glued on the ball the entire time. Great job ref.

All this Whining is nothing new from Kobe.

He whines because HE MISSED AN UNCONTESTED OPEN BASELINE JUMPER.

plain & simple.

HE LOST THE GAME.

Kobe was never a graceful looser.

Even he knows he faded BEHIND THE BACKBOARD & HE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO SHOOT WIDE & MISS.

Jones has nothing to do with this.

It was NOT A FOUL.

BITCHBE is just being that...A litting whining BEETTCH!

[gengiskhan]

This is the funny thing about Lakers stans & kobe stans

They are so delusional that they cannot even fathom....

...KOBE ACTUALLY FADED BEHIND THE BACKBOARD JUST ON LITTLE BIT OF DEFENSE.

HE GOT INTO WORSE POSSIBLE POSITION TO SHOOT FOR A POSSIBLE GAME WINNER HAD THE GAME GONE INTO O.T.

look closely. He is releasing the ball from behind the backboard.

When he wasn't harrassed by PHYSICAL defense!

& no Kobe stan or Lakers stan see this.

Its his fault he missed the shot.

I've never seen a whiner, cry baby bigger than Kobe. He wants NBA to baby sit his pampered ar$$e cuz he plays for Lakers.

Any shot he got blocked or stolen ball, he is staring daggers at nearest referee, pretending he is hurt.

A fake paper tiger faced Ph@ggot if there was ever one.

I've watched NBA for past 20 yrs on regular basis. Never seen a superstar calibre player constantly complaining for help from refs.

NEVER!

He stands ALONE in whining category.

& now this mot*** fu**** has a twitter account calling for "revenge"

Its because of Kobe, I've come to respect LBJ a lot. This man took punching, extreme Hate from media, fans everyone & just went about doing his business.

got MIA to finals his first yr. MVP sweep the next yr. NO COMPLAINTS

JUST DOING WORK.....the result. MVP SWEEP.....Gunning for 2nd consequitive MVP SWEEP!.

This Cryant P@ggott needs to learn something from LBJ here.

Not only was it a foul, but it was intentional.

However Kobe has done some shit, too... like punching people after shots.
