Dam there sure is alot of blind and stupid Spurs fans in here. Kobe's hit was as bad as any in the last 5 years. Look at manu's face again if you doubt it. Some other players would have beat Kobe's ass and started a brawl for that.
Most people here are in agreement that it wasn't meant to hurt Manu and that Kobe seemed concerned and asked repeatedly about his well being.

It's clear. The league is tired of Kobe flopping in the air, flailing like a and yelling "HEY" to get free throws. Make an example of one of their stars and the rest will fall in line
I remember Shaq abusing Dikembe with his elbows and shoulders on almost every play in the finals years ago...no suspension and no fouls....This is pure consipiracy against Kobe....nothing more than that.
A suspension for accidental contact....the league is in trouble.
It's a good consipiracy. suspend that .
Yeah, the league hates Kobe. So does Disney and Turner. And Nike. All of 'em.This is pure consipiracy against Kobe....nothing more than that.
A suspension for carelessness and a harsh foul.

I think the fact that they were both in the air, Kobe made contact to the face and head were factors that caused a suspension.
You should NEVER hit someone in the face or neck. I am just glad that Manu is ok.
For all you LOSERS who think Manu was flopping, I think he has enough blood to show he wasn't this time. Manu flops...get over it. If the ref calls it it's your problem not ours!
haha ive only been in this forum for about 2 weeks...and its easy to realize which posters actually have meret when posting.
Did anyone in this thread say Manu was flopping?
Ahh. Sorry about the link violation, mods. I didn't get the memo.
Why thank you good sir
You're joking but I'm half serious lol. Kobe did the same to Dirk last year. Anyone remember him flailing and giving Dirk a black eye with one of his "accidental" swings to the face? The league is cracking down on his dumbass antics. I can't believe people are making excuses for him.
heres a good question:
If Kobe got suspended because Stern thought it was intentional...would he be suspended if he missed Ginobli?
If kobe's flailing arm never connected than we would have no discussion period. If he feigned punching someone...he'd get at minimum 1 game. Pure BS.
If he didn't hit manu's head then no there would be no suspension.
You don't have to make contact to get suspended.
Unintentional elbows drawing suspensions? Has the league office watched Shaq at all in the last ten years? How about any big man going up for a rebound?
It's laughable and par for the course.
Look at it this way....Say Kobe gets in the lane and dunks on a guy and hits him hard to the ground....does he get suspended. Obviously, he initiated contact....no he doesn't. How many times does a guy go up in the lane and nails someone and bangs into people with reckless abandon...what happens, a foul or nothing. Like I said...pure BS.
So in that proves there was no intent. When a player throws a punch, they would be suspended regardless if it missed or hit.
Most feared maybe...but Manu's are on offense and guys that are hitting him physically usually get some kind of instant karmic payback. With regularity. Ask Buckner, Artest, K-Mart and Raja Bell... I think one of his kneecaps has knocked Kobe out of a game before.
I am interested in seeing Pop's reaction to this as well...if I were Pop I'd be ting a gold brick over the prospect of this sort of play being suspension worthy.
Getting carelessly nailed in the head is key to this suspension so i would say if Manu didn't get hit Kobe wouldn't be suspended.
It wasn't intentional, I think he was even trying to see if Manu was alright.
