Your wrong there. Because Timberwolves didnt say nothing. Even Jaric said he was surprised about the suspension. And Manu said he called the league and said it was unintentional and Kobe didnt mean it. So I dont know were your getting this from.

its just the way things are now. We all can thank Ron Artest for this over active witch hunt of an NBA we have these days. Too bad for future generations.
[QUOTE=KobeMVP]Thats NBA league decision the most dirty and unethical of professional sports in the USA compare to other professional league. Why?
the league hates Kobe so much, but how about those three blind mice, how come they dont get suspended and get fined any of those refs. when they fixed games. Games should be review on each game and make sure to penalized refs who fixed games... Anyways who told those referees to fixed games maybe the league itself.
and counting the other way around I havent heard the NBA suspended or penalized anyone who hit Kobe intentionally, its always Kobe who gets the hit if he retaliates. Its very unfair and unethical of the league.[/QUOTE]
[B]I used to think like you, that the league hates kobe but I've been watching kobe closely and he is indeed a dirty player and you know what he deserve to be suspended what he's doing is dangerous, he could have easily crack the skull of Manu and JAric and ended their careers.
Having said that I know both Manu and Jaric said that kobe didn't do it intentionally but they know it was intentional they just dont want to make big deal out of it and they dont get mad they get even.[/B]

Lakersground.net, there you can share you're delusional basketball opinions about why Kobe, Lord of Olympus, King of the Heavens is unjustly kept from winning a championship, scoring title, and MVP each and every season.

Trust me. Somebody from those organizations called the league. I am aware of what they say publicly but someone maybe a GM, asst. GM, VP, or owner called the league.

While I don't condone the rule changes that favor perimeter players and lessen the importance of defense, I do think the game needs to clean up a little in terms of dirty antics and over-the-top flopping acts, make players focus on basketball.

if you recall, most aging stars ended their careers shortly after they started assaulting people aka Michael Irvin, Dallas Cowboys.... any sport man... Kobe is losing not only his talent but his mind too man.... finally...

That does not make any sense. Somebody just called to get him suspended but they flat out said they knew he wasnt doing any harm. And the Manu situation, the Spurs called the League and said Kobe did not mean to do anything. And Jaric like I said, said he knew it was unintentional. Why would people just call? That must mean they dont have anything to do. So there just callin cause there bored.

they called because they're tired of kobe's dirty antics, he's hurting people and that is not right.

We only know what Jaric and Ginobli said publicly. We do not know what they said behind closed doors. Players will not admit to initiating or co-signing on a complaint about another player. When the first incident happened Greg Anthony mentioned the league does not get involved unless they got a call from someone representing the opposing team. A couple of days later there was an article posted on this board that indicated Ginobli and Popopvich felt Kobe may have struck Ginobli on purpose. I will see if I can find it.

Great argument. He is hurting players. :rollingeyes:. Anyways Listen to what Phil says then tell me what you think. And please keep and open mind because right now you sound like a major Kobe H@ter.
[QUOTE]But Jackson stands by his decision.
"I'm not in the business of reading players' minds, I'm simply evaluating the play as a basketball play," Jackson told The Associated Press. "And when you take a shot and follow through, followed by driving an arm back in an aggressive manner that strikes a defender in his face, that's what we evaluated to be a non-acceptable play."
Lakers coach Phil Jackson weighed in on the suspension and defended Bryant.
"If they're going to make a call, even if they're wrong, they'll still be consistent," Jackson said.
He added, "I think I'm going to have to put about 50 clips of Kobe shooting his shot and his arms going out like that so the judger of this deed of Kobe's sees that he does this a lot," Jackson said. "It's not an unnatural basketball motion."[/QUOTE]

They said themselves and a report on ESPN said that the League has been reviewing the tape all day to see if it was similar to the Manu hit. And thats why they looked at it. They wanted to look like they were being consistent. Which they are not looking consistent because they never suspended Lebron for almost taking off D-Wades head. Its a bunch of BS.

Who's dillusional? probably you because Kobe won 3 championship ring already and scoring title as he broke records and continuing on. This is a conspiracy going on to Kobe. The nail to Jarics face and everyone else by Kobe is an statement from him that defensively player should also be aware that they are also vulnerable of being hit, even if they are in the defensive end they should defend themselves.

why is it that when u criticize kobe? ur immediately labeled a h@ter, watch the video dude, its intentional, I like kobe, all am saying is he needs to stop this dirty antics, he can seriously hurt and end somebody's career.
anyways, PJ's comments is nothing new, he suck up to his star player all the time so this statement is for kobe.
