I don't see no headbutt.
Artest is hilarious, though.
he should also be suspended for smacking Gasol on the back of the head
I don't see no headbutt.
Artest is hilarious, though.
Kobe could ass rape a white girl and wouldn't get suspended by Stern.
it wasn't a headbutt...he threw a wild forearm up at artest's chin when he was trying to fight thru artest's block
Been there. Done that.
It's the No Balls Association. No way Kobe gets suspended for game 7. If Rondo wasn't suspended for his clothesline on Brad Miller, no way are they going to suspend Kobe.
Looking at the clip Artest flopped.
And you should know that the NBA would never suspend a superstar for a game 7.
They replayed the play about 10 times last night and showed it up close. If you still think you kobe headbutted him, you're either blind or a ing idiot.
LOL, it's hilarious just to hear jvg freaking out. Kobe got duped big time there. That was a horrible call.
That's Entertainment!
Artest's tongue was bleeding? Guess that explains the tongue clip.
really? so he fell to the ground acting a fool?
do you people know what a flop is anymore or do yall just call every play that you think is suspect as a flop? i don't understand.
Once again, he did not flop. He clearly got hit. He showed Kobe his bloody tongue. How did his tongue become bloody? It was not on purpose, but it hurts when you bite your tongue and Ron did not flop.
i dont know what kobe did, but he obviously hit artest somehow. you could even read their lips when talking to each other, and kobe accused him of flopping, and artest said he didnt flop then showed him his bloody tongue.
no suspension neccesary though. although its starting to get ridiculous all the dirty crap that kobe has been doing through the playoffs.
No he didn't fall down, I class a flop as doing something which causes an opposing player to get into trouble, as we see in the clip Artest ran off the court in supposed pain when clearly he was hardly touched.
Maybe a lot of you aren't aware, but Artest got a personal foul on that same play last night. I have a lot easier time understanding the T on Kobe than the PF on Artest. When you look at the clip, see if you can find anything that Artest did to deserve a whistle on him.
When you look at the sequence of events on video, there are at least 3 things that are undeniable:
1. Kobe and Artest got tangled with each other. Kobe threw up his arms to say "I'm not doing anything - it's all Ron." (The exact same thing he did when got Artest ejected after the elbow.)
2. So Artest raised both of his arms in the air to make sure he didn't get nailed with a cheap whistle.
3. While Artest is standing with both hands in the air, Kobe charged directly into him. Kobe clearly could have gone around Artest, or at least attempted to. Instead, he went straight into Artest. You have to conclude that he intended to make contact.
When I watch the clip, I see Kobe bending his knees, and lunging into Artest with the top part of his body. And if you pause at the 26 second mark, you can see their heads touching. Maybe Kobe didn't intend to head-butt Artest, but that's what he did. It might not deserve a suspension, but a T seems warranted - just to stop the bull , if nothing else.

if they suspend kobe for that we should all switch to the wnba. thats a tougher league
I wonder if Atrest bit his own tongue purposely to pretend that Kobe head butted him.
Mike Breen: Kobe needs to be careful he doesnt get another technical cuz he can get a suspension
Jeff Van Gundy: What the is Kobe suppose to do? He didn't do anything to even warrant that one. How is he suppose to be more careful?
lol
dirty play!..kobe pushed the "air" towards Artest's face and the "air" knocked Artest's head back.
