Kobe against the League

[Man In Black]

Oh and another thing, why is it you guys see Manu's "ACCIDENTAL" Groin shot on Stoudamire as anything but a basketball move? When you shoot a driving layup, you need lift, and to get lift you need to get moving in an upward direction by driving the lead leg up and the power leg down and then up.
Don't agree? Well Kobe has done the same move. See image provided.

Apparently even Kobe knows this. If a defender wants to challenge and he jumps and gets hit, it is what it is. The offensive player is allowed to attack the rim, and the defensive player is allowed to defend it. The knee is used to fend off would-be defenders but if he gets hit, then it's a basketball move. Recognize! The pic I provided shows you that Kobe leads with his leg too, if needed.

Don't think that this is a "new" move, I remember Dr. J do the same back in the day too!

I'll remember what you said as he slits the Staples crowd throats AGAIN when next they play. That's a lot of boos I hear against the Argentinian when I'm at Staples Center. Mainly because we know that sooner or later, an ass-kicking will ensue Gaucho Style from Mr. Ginobili and you whiners can't handle it.

Weak ass in and moanin is all you whiny LAL Fans do nowadays. MAN UP!!!

Intent has nothing to do with that punkass move getting him suspended. It's the ass punk move that is gettting him suspended.

Typically, I don't agree with suspensions for a 1st time offense, but a fine is mandatory, with a bigger fine and suspension for 2nd time.

But hey, I don't make the rules and if the NBA says you gotta stop that , then you gotta stop that or face the reprecussions. Once your "idol" recognizes that, then he can continue playing with his Mitch Kool-Aid laden team of mediocrity.

Mediocrity...This is where your meridian lies

It has nothing to do with ing and moaning. The Lakers are 14 time NBA champions, the last thing they need is help to win in this league.

What's ed up is that the Lakers have gone thru some tough injuries this season. The league doesn't need to with Kobe for the lakers to lose some games. Losses with so many players in and out the lineup was inevitable. What pisses me off is the leagues witch hunt (per Jackson) on kobe. Let him play and leave him the alone. The lakers have enough problems without having our best player and best player in the NBA, having to worry about this bull the league is sending him thru. If you're going to clean up the league, clean it up. Don't just single out one person when you have all kinds of issues going on in the league.

Actually Artest elbowed Manu during first round PO's last year. Artest was suspended for one game after-the-fact for the very obvious hit on Manu's grill.

Another injustice. Artest was suspended for retaliating against Manu's elbow to his mouth (which supposely is an automatic suspension for any blows to the head but it wasn't in this case). Artest was suspended, Manu got nothing! Wtf?

Kobe is a hardcore little .

And your attempt to make me believe he intends to draw the foul by flailing his arm AFTER releasing the ball insults my slightly mediocre b-ball knowledge.

Manu is a hard core pussy!

Ask Amare if he thought it was a basketball move. That was nothing but trying to clear some space, which is the same thing that Kobe was attempting to do.

The league is claiming to clean that up. I bet if Kobe did it now, he would be suspended.

I'm sure glad Amare didn't get a hold of Manu. I shudder to think what would have happened to old glass jaw, if Amare would have got a shot in. Kobe caved in his face with a little slap.
