Kobe Bryant nails Jaric in face, suspended 1 game

I am so glad the league is at least being consistent with the suspensions. I honestly thought they were gonna let Kobe slide this time, since the media gave the NBA so much crap about suspending Kobe the first time.

Maybe after this 2nd suspension, Kobe will finally learn to stop extending his elbows after his jumper.. the defender is right there!! Kobe HAS to know that, since both Manu/Jaric got a piece of his shot before catching an elbow to the face.. We'd all love to flail our arms and go to the free-throw line after we just got our shot legitimately blocked, but the game don't work like that, Kobe :D

Having watched it extensively, I conclude that kobe bryant is guilty of nothing more than trying to draw a foul and doing a poor job of it. Cheers.:cheers:

Maybe the league should've made it a 2 game suspension. Kobe obviously didn't learn his lesson the first time. Kobe fanboys would flip out though..

[QUOTE=HollaBolla][B]As a Laker fan it sickens me to see kobe resort to hurting other players to get even, from Miller, Ginobili, AK47, and now Jaric, he is supposed to be a model player emulate by kids but for him to do this, it just not right, he needs to apologize and change his ways.[/B][/QUOTE]

Finally, a reasonable Laker fan in this thread. :applause:

How can you say that? When Lebron almost took off D-Wades neck they dont review it or do anything. But Kobe accidentally comes down on somebody because he is trying to draw a foul. They need to suspend both to look consistent. Cause right now they look like immature babies who dont know what the hell there doing.

its called drawing a foul he did the same thing in the 3rd quarter trying to draw a foul. There is no way he meant to hit him in the face, no one is that good, he isnt even looking at him

One thing bad happens to Kobe or the Lakers you come out of your damn cave. If the Lakers win or something you hide in your cave. Why dont you go hide in yoru cave? And save the nonsense to yourself.

Where was I during the Lakers losing streak(s)? Lakers had a 6 game skid, why was I MIA'd for that whole time? :confusedshrug:

You convince yourself of false perceptions too well. Think rationally, kid.

Its because hes nothing but a personality. Its a gimmick, a set up.

When did the media gave NBA a hard time over Kobe's 1st suspension? Kobe's one superstar when suspended won't receive a backlash from the media or most of NBA fans, let's face it..Kobe's not widely liked.

Jaric on the suspension:

Jaric said he was surprised that Bryant was suspended.

"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."

Okay thanks for the heads up. Because he is very unrealistic and does not think straight.

:oldlol: The league has it in for Kobe, ever since colorado, they've had it out for this n!gga. He shouldn't of gotten suspended for that especially when Bowen, Deke and etc has done way worse and didn't even get so much as a fine for it. My thing is, the refs should of called a flagrant on Kobe if they thought it was intentional, i dont think they thought he done it purposely.

Raja Bell clotheslined Kobe, with the intent to harm him yet he only got a game. You can bet your ass had bell done that to Lebron, Wade and others he would of got a minimum of 5 games, but since it's Kobe the NBA's villian, i guess the nba felt that the clotheslined was justified. smh
