Who is getting upset? Its a discussion about a foul that wasnt called. Pathetic is not understanding how there can be two sides to an argument, no one is saying they love Kobe, just discussing the future of suspensions like this one
that was a hard hit. can't tell from the clip if it was an elbow or not but it did look like a big time Karate chop.

Kobe looking smug doesn’t mean that he intended to strike anyone in the face...Kobe always looks smug...And Kobe often swings his arms after shooting...
Kobe has a video reaction on ESPN.com
Including Manu and Pop?
Pathetic.
It's the result of applying the rule (contact above the neck) without thinking.
Even a fine was too much.
A fine would have been fine.
no need for retraction. Kobmes 1st reacton definitely was "immediately strode briskly down the court, leaving Manu on the floor, looking very smugly self-satisfied and unconcerned about Manu's condition."
Upon seeing the crowd gathered around GNob and remembering what his Hollywood PR firm told him about his image repair he did a very phony aboutface move over towards Gnob.
Kind of like the 34-46 1st year season without Shaq. Rememeber when he was catching criticism for what a selfish player he was. He then went on to so overdo it when a teamate did well, rubbing their head and putting on the big act. Ditto here. Face shows nothing but self concern.
You Kobe apologists are gagging.
Or a foul call during the game would have been more than fine
The suspension is probably just a message to Kobe to watch himself. Anyone remember a few years back in a playoff game i believe, Kobe thought he was fouled and swung his arms in frustration and hit Tim Duncan in the face?
Your posts get more and more annoying by the minute.
Or the fact that he is a huge Manu fan couldnt have had anything to do with it either right? Im not trying to defend Kobe, if that had been any player that had done that I wouldnt have thought it warrented a suspension, so gag yourself
Annoying or ignorant, Im not sure which
Now that this type of incident has been set...im a bit worried about Bowen, Manu and Tim. We are definately the last team in the NBA who would think that Kobe would warrant such a suspension.
are you serious? look through these posts. these so-called spurs fans are furious. usually, this type of anger is directed at tony parker or beno udrih.
Would the NBA consider the Flailing of the arm's trying to draw a foul as a from of Flopping?
Aren't they trying to cut down on Flopping?
"I have been a little disappointed with how Kobe has been treated as a premier player," Jackson said.Perhaps I'm not interpreting this correctly, but is Jackson saying that Kobe, or any other "premier" player, is above being suspended or fined?
i think the nba should take into account what the "victim" says. manu wasnt upset so why is the NBA? more than a fine doesnt make sense
I don't see how it could be interpreted any other way. He should stick to talking about the actual incident, not demanding special treatment for certain players.
That was how I understood it.
Yes, Kobe didn't even take a look at Manu to see if he was fine or to apologize. He was just pissed Manu blocked him.
I'm surprised people are surprised. My first reaction after the punch was Kobe would probably be suspended for that.
If you move your arm very fast like that, at that height, you have a lot of chances to hit someone hard, intentionnaly or not. That was a dangerous move.
And BTW, the game was not over, it should have been an offensive foul.
Yeah, this incident aside, it's kind of a stupid comment for him to make.
a foul should have been called in the game or a fine. a suspension is over the top and in the spirit of full disclosure, i wish Stu would issue some kind of statement saying how he got to this conclusion. all NBA players should be worried about the precedent this sets.
So if Manu was really upset, Kobe should be suspended five games?
