I hate Kobe as much as the next guy, but I'm not on board for cheering for injuries. When Duncan went down with the knee and it looked season ending, most Laker fans I saw didn't rub it in our faces. Though I'm sure there were some on here that might've that I missed...

My point-of-view is that injuries are part of the game, just like a missed shot or slam dunk, and should be similarly cheered, as long as they're not life-threatening or career ending.

Hovered around .500 after trading away an All-Star big man then went downhill after Kobe and another important player got hurt.

[KaiRMD1]

Honestly, it's Kobe. Just like when it's coming down to the end, that mother fucker will start making shots and will the Lakers back, I expect him to play through it and make it orse yet still play like a god after all, it's Kobe Bryant. Lucky for him, he'll only have to play for about a month then he can rest his ankle while he goes on vacation :blah

[midnightpulp]

Seriously though, I wouldn't be too concerned if I was a Lakers fan. The guy has a superhuman like ability to recover and play through pain (granted, most of his injuries are exaggerated, like the period where he had back spasms, which only seemed to flare up when the Lakers were getting their asses kicked), but Kobe is pretty fuckin' durable, and I expect him to be back in less than a week.

Will the Lakers not using the exemption reduce their luxury tax? Surprising why they let it expire though.

One reason would be D'antonio's lack of playing more than 7-8 players in the rotation. Another could be signing Raja Bell for the min.

Can't blame Kobe on that one though, he has been getting that call all this time, and the refs are being inconsistent by not giving him the call. I mean, come on, if I run red lights 1000 times, often times right next to cops, and never got a ticket, why would I be ticketed the 1001st time I ran a red light?

Also, Kobe will play soon, he has been constantly injured since 1996, he is such a warrior by playing an NBA record 1228th game with an injury.

Any of you clowns that actually play bball know that when you fade your body doesn't do this in a full straight up position and your legs naturally jut out. What DJones did was a dirty play and all shooters know this. You have to give chance for a defender to land and when that space is taken away it's a foul. Most refs don't call it as they are looking for arm and hand contact, however; this is how players get hurt. The rule of kicking your leg out and making contact of the defender is a good rule as well, although in this instance it's not the case.

You crowd shooters...make them uncomfortable...get in their head next time they think about shooting over you. It's part of basketball. This is where the game has been pussified. Offensive guys already get way to much protection in today's game. Laker fan loved the in-your-face "crowding" defense Kobe played on Bron in the meaningless All-star game.

Hey bro, I totally agree with the sentiment. I do this all of the time, however I'm mindfull of how much I plant my body under the player. On a fade away sometimes that's your only choice to defend as you can't get up to block the shot. It's a shitty deal really and yes I love Kobe but don't like that tactic, but on a game tieing shot attempt you do what you do to win the game. Put it in the refs hands. If playing pick up though, Djones would of been shunned for the tactic immediately.

It was and is a dirty dangerous move.

If players are allowed to block out or whatever, while another player is in the air, there will be a ton of injuries. Making contact down low, as opposed to defending the shot on a higher part of the body are vastly diff. Down low there is no time to adjust your legs, especially if contact is on the path back down.

Except that Kirby is making no attempt to "adjust his legs", rather he is doing the field goal kicker kickout with his right leg.
Offense foul tbh.
No as to whether or not Jones took up Kirbys left foot landing space, and i think he did, it's still on Kirby who is doing his weak assed leg kick.

Pick up ball is different. Most guys are just trying to get a good run in. That is until someone starts running there mouth, then the defense go up a notch.



It was and is a dirty dangerous move.

If players are allowed to block out or whatever, while another player is in the air, there will be a ton of injuries. Making contact down low, as opposed to defending the shot on a higher part of the body are vastly diff. Down low there is no time to adjust your legs, especially if contact is on the path back down.

This isn't about blatantly undercutting people that go up for shots, its about making the shooter think twice about going up for a j in your grill when you're defending him. Next time, he will make sure he has space before pulling up for the j because he knows your gonna be right there when he comes down. It's the game inside the game.

And it's basketball! Guys roll their ankles all the time. It's probably the most reoccurring injury in all levels from Jr high to pros.

Besides, Kobe doesn't give two shits about anyone else when the ball goes up. This was his quote when he got suspended for elbowing Miller, "Any player that was going to come down the lane at that point in time, I was going to let him know that he just can't walk through there," Bryant said after the game. Why does everyone coddle this guy?

[Raven]

Kobe out indefinitely. How is this not a flagrant 2?
Stern needs to start protecting the players!

how does calling a flagrant make kobe's leg better?

[Bill_Brasky]

If this happened to anyone else everyone would just call it a routine play. Quit being a bunch of faggots, Lakerfan.

[CavsSuperFan]

Stern needs to protect Lakers players!

it was a flop by Berea TBH:downspin:

[cd98]

Bwahahahahaahahaha. Kobe about near tears in his post game.

:cry "The officials need to protect shooters and not let them get undercut." :cry

Well, dipshit, if you didn't kick your feet forward into the defender's space as you're coming down to land, this shit might've not happened.

hahahahahahaaha

:cry "I'm mad that I have to wait a year to get revenge" :cry

Translation: Kobe wants MORE free throws.

[Clipper Nation]

I just love the irony of Kirby crying about dirty play when he was one of the dirtiest players in the league for years, tbh.... funny how he didn't have a problem with throwing bows or punching guys in the nuts, tbh....

[FkLA]

Sucks that he didnt break the ankle tbh.

[Xevious]

Don't gimme that shit. Kobe's fine. He'll be back in a couple games.

Besides, cheering for injuries on any team is a pussy thing to do IMO.

[FkLA]

I dont give a fuck Ill gladly cheer a Kobe injury. Even give it a standing ovation if its season or career-ending tbh.

Stay classy Spurfan.

[TDfan2007]

Looking at the replay again, Jones clearly stepped under Kobe after Kobe elevated. At worst it was a dirty bitch move, and at best it was a pathetic and strange attempt at a shot contest.

[DMC]

Stay classy Spurfan.

Stay ringless, shit biscuit.

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't understand the "stay classy" and "don't wish injuries" shit, tbh..

:lol Kobe is a piece of shit, he's a shitty person and a scumbag, tbh..this isn't wishing injury on Andre Iguodala or Demar Derozan, this is wishing an injury on a poor human being that deserves harm, tbh..

[td4mvp2k]

:lol @ nba butthurt on kobe... f u stern!

[Cry Havoc]

How the fuck is Kobe bitching about a play like this with his history of elbow swinging, knee smashing, and generally ridiculously overdramatic ball that ends up hurting other players?

[hater]

pffff he's fine. what a bunch of drama queens

Told u ******s

[spurraider21]

what i find really odd about the Lakers situation is that... if they were in the East, they would be 9th in the conference :lol

Kobe Bryant ‏@kobebryant (https://twitter.com/kobebryant)
#dangerousplay (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23dangerousplay&src=hash) that should have been called. Period.

Kobe whining via Twitter? Really?

Not a peep, not a word about Kobe being a pussy/asshole for blaming the officiating.

'seppe already had very little room to check assholes/pussies regarding this issue before, imo.

Nary room now.

I'm predicting there will be nary any shame about this.....which is a shame.

you've claimed you're being an honest poster.

I thought I'd check for myself for shits and giggles people take giant craps on you and slander your name all over the place.

Fwiw, I see no reason for the mob to put the pitchforks and torches down. I think you're a hypocrite that parrots with no purpose aside from just pushing buttons.

That's all. Take it or leave it.

I'll take it.

I look forward to the challenge with equal amounts of both anticipation & determination.

Let us proceed...

No challenge, no proceeding.

Just more sighs at the current state of this forum and the people that occupy it's space.
