MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- An Arkansas man filed a federal lawsuit
against NBA star Kobe Bryant claiming the Lakers guard deliberately
elbowed him during a game last year against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Bill Geeslin was a spectator in the stands Nov. 14 when the
Lakers played the Grizzlies in Memphis. His three-page lawsuit
filed Tuesday claims that Bryant came off the court during play,
landed on Geeslin and "without provocation" committed assault and
battery when he violently struck Geeslin with his elbow.

Geeslin claims seeks more than $75,000 in damages for
unspecified injuries that required medical attention.

Geeslin's attorney, Robert Coleman, declined to elaborate on the
filing Wednesday but said he had not been in contact with Bryant's
attorneys or agent.

A call to Bryant's agent seeking comment was not immediately
returned.

The game ended with the Grizzlies winning 85-73.

did he rupture his damn spleen or something? 75k worth of medical bills for an elbow? i'd think only a bruise would result. he probably hired a bunch of doctors to see if he had something juicy worth suing over.

Whats funny is there is a waiver of responsibility on the back of each sporting event ticket. Kobe dove in the stands for the ball. That's it.

If Kobe took a shit in the middle of the court, it would be more valuable than Chris Childs ever was

Gms would draft that shit before drafting Chris Childs :D
