It was a heat of the moment. Wade is a cool guy. He ain't a dirty player.
Something tells me you didn't call the Byum foul on Barea or Odom foul on Dirk last year a heat of the moment mistake though. Wade clearly let his emotions get the best of him and he broke an opponent's nose in an All Star game. I truthfully can't even remember the last hard foul like that in an ASG.
I'm just glad it wasn't a serious injury. That would have been pretty bad if Wade's foul ended up in a season- or career-ending injury for Kobe, intentional or not. I don't think any true basketball fan would want to see Kobe go out like that.
Yeah I dunno. I am all for people trying fancy moves in the ASG tho, its silly to say that kobe should have played it safe and layed it in like a grandma lest wade break his nose. Silly and uncalled for by wade..... But no one likes being clowned and kobe, reverse layup or not was looking to clown him.
But I still think this was a very shitty move by wade in an ASG... regardless of whether or not it could be avoided. Srsly... the damn all star game where all dunks go uncontested..
Just look at howard and wades body language after the fact to see it was obviously intentional.
wade was irked that kobe wasn't called for fouling him on the previous play
Please learn how to read. I just mocked those Kobetards who wanted the Lakers thugs to destroy Wade next week. Lakers are a bunch of classless punks if they are planning to hurt Wade in a real game.
You are honestly one of the stupidest people on this forum. Please quickly proceed to drown yourself in your own saliva.
This dude Wade is PATHETIC. Gets completely left in the dust by a 33 year old Kobe and tries to save face by committing a hard playoff foul on him during an ALL-STAR GAME.
I guess it really sucks always being overshadowed by Kobe. Dude is MAD jelly. Hope Kobe drops 40 on his ass next Sunday.
Not necessarily hurt Wade but go off on the Heat.
Though Kobe has got back at people that have tried to hurt him. Anyone remember when Mike Miller cut his eye? Kobe came back and elbowed him in the throat.
I dont think he'd hurt Wade but I can see him trying to drop 40 on them (Lakers probably need him to drop 40 anyway to win).
Re: Wade foul on Kobe Bryant in 2012 All-Star game resulted in broken nose for Kobe
Kobe was scoring on D-Whistle with ease at the beginning of the game...he was 5-6. Then Whistle probably saw at halftime that Kobe was going to pass MJ and all the attention would be on Kobe while he would be an after-thought, as always. He had to flagrant foul Kobe after he got burnt. Talk about pure jealousy. Kobe took it like a man though, he's not a b*tch like Whistle when it comes to injuries...

Looks at avi....
Kobe should have told Bynum about it because we all know Bynum doesn't like to fight with players his own size.
