New camera angle on Kobe elbow to Artest throat

[DrHouse]

It's quite clear that NBA fans have become pussies when like this generates this much discussion. This is and should be a non-issue.

Throat..chest..doesn't matter..elbow's an elbow...supposed to mean a suspension...Fisher's getting one for his elbow..why isn't Kobe?

Nah, elbow to the chest happens often, you just don't hear about it unless a player makes a big deal out of.

To get a suspension, the elbow has to be above the shoulders.

Rule 12, Part A, Section 5-Q of the official NBA rulebook cites: "Elbow fouls which make contact above shoulder level, and punching fouls, although recorded as both personal and team fouls, are unsportsmanlike acts. The player will be ejected immediately."

My mistake...gif still looks to the neck to me though.

[Holmes_Fans]

Throat? More like chest you s.

I hate the Fakers as much as anyone, but you're all acting like a bunch of gots.

All good, I know you're just trying to be objective.

[Spursfan092120]

I try to be...it's hard, since I really don't like the Lakers..lol..but I try to be. I actually was rooting for the Lakers in this series at first..but after Fisher's elbow, and Kobe's...kinda changed my mind a bit.

[LnGrrrR]

I've deliberately not said anything about this since I hadn't seen the footage. (Work blocks everything )

However, seeing the video, and the gif, gotta say it looks like he hit him in the clavicle area more than the throat.

cuz Fisher didnt throw an elbow..damn you guys are re s. Making up. lol

[Indazone]

Just fine Kobe 25K and move on. The elbow was thrown yes. Was it high enough? No. If it were 4 inches higher and hit him in the head, throw the bum out.

Looks like he hits him right on the collarbone right along the shoulder line. Maybe that will give the league enough of an excuse to not suspend Kobe, but it shouldn't make any difference. An elbow above the shoulder is an automatic suspension. That doesn't mean nothing else warrants one.

The problem isn't the location of the elbow. The problem is that it is 1. intentional and 2. an unnatural basketball move. Does anyone really think that was a) a natural basketball move or b) unintentional? Really?

[DaDakota]

I hope someone undercuts kobe ..."On accident"....

Karma is a nasty thing.

You are SUCH a ing idiot....

I still dont see an elbow thrown directly at Scola.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

But nice flop from Scola.

[Spursfan092120]

I still dont see an elbow thrown directly at Scola.

Dude...seriously...what the ? I know you're a pretty objective dude..you're not a homer...look..



He even leaves his elbow out..come on.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

I know that was pretty ed up by Fisher. And yes fisher leaves the elbow out but his elbow never makes contact with Scola. It was his head.

[Spursfan092120]

Yes...his head makes contact with his head..but at the same time, his elbow makes contact with his chest.

A voice of reason!

What is your problem....he didnt throw an elbow. It was a hockey check. You should get to the eye doc soon.

[Cry Havoc]

Spur fans listen up. When your own kind are calling you out for being made it's time to STFU.

This coming from the guy who routinely is called an asshole/loser/idiot by the other Laker faithful on this board.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Yes...his head makes contact with his head..but at the same time, his elbow makes contact with his chest.

I think this is really throwing an elbow at someone.

Can't compare Kobe's and Fisher's To Dwight's
