i don't think he should be suspended, but i do think he will get one game.

Yeah, I think Malone should have been punished a lot more than he was for his dirty play. So that's a poor example.

Re: So, how many games does Kobe get for the pushoff on Jaric?
it was obviously intentional and there is precedent for star players being suspended for blatant elbows to the face.......just ask karl malone.

The ranting, personal insults and crap (and reasonable responses to it) was deleted.
Just have a normal, intelligent discussion about the incident.

Re: So, how many games does Kobe get for the pushoff on Jaric?
This one looks even more obvious than the Ginobili hit. I don't know what goes through Kobe's mind when he's pulling this off. It's not only poor sportsmanship but dangerous too. An elbow to the face ****ing hurts! I wouldn't be surprised if the league now suspends him for multiple games since he's a repeat offender.

Re: Kobe Bryant nails Jaric in face, similar to Manu incident
He should get suspended for that being the equivalent of a flop down the lane. He does that crap to look like he got fouled. I HATE FLOPPING.

Re: Kobe Bryant nails Jaric in face, similar to Manu incident
Im obviously not a Kobe fan, but this is getting out of control...
he hit Jaric in the face.... so what?
It seems like its some kind of reflex Kobe has to push off when his shot is contested to that degree....but the suspension talk is ridiculous
Offensive foul = Yes
Suspension = Hell no
NBA cant afford to be this soft with the calls

I don't like Kobe, but somehow this just doesn't bother me much. So he's gotten caught hitting guys in the face out of frustration...that **** happens all the time. It's a physical game, and tempers flare occasionally. Sneaky elbows and shoves are pretty common.

i don't think he is intentionally trying to nail people. If he gets suspended again hopefully it'll get Kobe out of the habit of flailing his arms around to try and draw calls when he gets stripped/blocked.

I don't know. Cracking someone in the face with an elbow out of frustration does not happen all the time, I don't think. Otherwise, you would see guys on the floor in a heap a lot more often.
I wasn't so sure after seeing the first one if it was accidental or not. This one looked a lot worse to me. Kobe deserves to get suspended.

This is really what we argue about now?
Please God, let the NBA give us something to have a real debate about.

Re: Kobe Bryant nails Jaric in face, similar to Manu incident
I'm pretty sure Kobe flails his arms like that to draw a foul, not so as to intentionally hit a guy in the face. You know, because drawing the foul actually gives him some kind of advantage, where hitting the guy in the face does nothing for him.
The problem is that when he flails like that, sometimes they get hit. It's worth a T and a fine for sure, but to think that could get you suspended for a game for that is silly.

Reggie Miller was the biggest 'arm flailer' ever. I don't remember him ever elbowing someone in the face. It is obvious that Kobe needs to work on his flailing. He isn't very good at it.
