I think the more pertinent question is how many people [B]want[/B] Bryant to have done it on purpose or want to believe that he did it on purpose? I heard a poster state this very thing in the Manu thread, saying that he wanted to believe that he hit Manu on purpose, but wasn't sure.
[QUOTE=_KP_The_Familia_]Do you have to run to every Kobe thread to defend him? Damn[/QUOTE]
Name them idiot. How's Gilbert = MVP workin out for you? Oh its not. Dissappear again. Do us a favor. Before you vamoose son of a b!tch let go of my nuts.
:roll:
he probably is not doing it with malicious intent and is just trying to draw a foul. the problem with that is he is purposely flailing his arms to draw the foul and is ending up slamming hard elbows into players faces.

He called you a ******* Gobb? So you see how it's gotten out of control.
[QUOTE=hotsizzle]I just want to know this...Do people on here think hes doing it on PURPOSE with an intent to hurt OR do they think hes trying to draw foul and should quit?[/QUOTE]
He just needs to quit, because if this keeps happening it's rather stupid to continue IMO.
Kobe is dirty :D

The NBA needs to get off Kobe's Nuts. Lebron James almost takes off Wades neck and they dont do nothing about it. Apparently the NBA had nothing to do today so they reviewed the same damn tape of last nights game all day today and suspended him. Damn the NBA needs to shut there mouth and let the players play the damn game, gosh.
Kobe is a sloppy flopper and kisser it seems........
According to the league, it was clear after reviewing the tape that Kobe hit Ginobili on purpose. That 'intent' was what made it different from other dirty plays people have mentioned (the league is much slower to assign intent than I am, btw) and what drew the suspension.
This time Kobe was lucky to get away with only one game IMO. Same move, same situation, same result--there's no room for doubt as to his motives this time.
It was intentional, Jaric blocked, got a piece of his shot, made a little contact, or put Kobe's hot off enough to piss him off. It ws intentional.
Unsportsmanlike. This suspension to help him err this behaviour.
Marco Jaric:
[QUOTE]"I haven't seen the replay, but if you ask me what I thought about the play when it happened, I don't think he did it intentionally, and I don't think players should be suspended for things that happen unintentionally," Jaric told ESPN.com. "I think he was trying to draw a foul, and he swung his hand out to make it look dramatic, and he hit me by accident. He apologized right after."[/QUOTE]

Same exact situation...gets shot blocked, gets frustrated, then decides to hit the player with his elbow on purpose. When he flails his arms to draw a foul, it is never in that motion...unless he has the intent of hitting the player.
Kobe throws elbows out almost every game. His history is extensive...and you're telling me that he wouldn't throw one on purpose when his shot gets blocked at a critical point in the game? :roll:
Kobe is guilty, as usual.

The NBA doesnt care. Because Manu said the same thing and the whole Spurs organization did to. And Kobe still got suspeneded.
As much as it hurt, I defended Kobe the first time, and thought the suspension was unjust.
I was clearly wrong, and Kobe is doing this intentionally. He's a dirty player. Period. As much flack Bruce Bowen takes for being a dirty player, he's never done anything like this.
Kobe should have gotten at least a 3 game suspension. This is just more fuel to the fire for all us Kobe h-a-t-e-r-s.
