So, is Allen saying the kick was intentional, or, not?
Tony Allen took eight s ches in his upper lip, and also said he suffered a neck injury in Game 3 thanks to Kobe Bryant's foot.
Allen's says that Kobe kicked him while he was down in the fourth quarter. "I slipped and he actually kicked me in the neck," Allen said. "That's what he did. I ain't too happy about that, neither. But he kicked me in my neck and it is what it is." Allen however, is not sure how he hurt his lips that needed s ches.
Keep an eye on Allen and Kobe tonight, but the fact remains that it's probably a good thing Kobe didn't kick him in the knee instead.

Suspension?
So, is Allen saying the kick was intentional, or, not?
Lmao, following Doc's lead.
What a joke. And yes, I watched the youtube clip.
Kobe never looked down, was looking at the rim the entire time, felt Tony Allen coming underneath him like an undercut and repositioned his body accordingly so he wouldn't sprain an ankle. Why the are you diving towards his feet anyway, Tony?
That is pathetic.
Basically he's saying its intentional.
"I slipped and he actually kicked me in the neck," Allen said. "That's what he did. I ain't too happy about that, neither. But he kicked me in my neck and it is what it is."
not hating on kobe here, but he's been known for plays like this (Manu, Mike Miller, Jaric) so the possibility of kobe intentionally hurting allen is not a reach.
also, considering allen bothered kobe that night (10-29) im sure kobe was frustrated on tony allen and kicked him in his neck.
Finish it.
True, but, give Bryant credit:::he always feels bad afterward.
tee, hee.
It's not a reach but it's not reality either.
Kobe never even looked down. Only reason he moved his legs different on the way down is because he felt Tony Allen undercutting him, due to Tony Allen slipping, which he himself admitted.
Don't want to get kicked in the neck? Don't put your head and neck right at a players feet.
Serves him right. Why the would he dive under a guy taking a jump shot?
Lakers in 5. Celtics are more interested in whining.
"we Kobe".
Your noze is so far up Kobes ass you refer to you and he as "we".
Successful cult deprogamming is available, KYluva.
Not surprising at all..
Kobe has a history of dirty plays, he's probably the most underrated dirty player in the league..his elbows have intentionally done plenty of damage in the past, now he's using other methods..
It's tough to believe otherwise when the guy has a history like Kobe does, you can only defend his dirty play so many times..one of the biggest s bags in sports history..
Yes, I acknowledge that Bowen was a dirty player as well..the difference is that the media and fans called him out for it all the time, even in situations where it didn't look bad..just want some consistency..
Kobe is dirty. An ultimate compe or with a do-anything-to-win type mentality.
This however was not intentional. Tony Allen himself admitted he slipped. That got him to dive towards Kobe's feet, also giving Kobe the feeling of getting undercut.
Don't slip and you won't get kicked in the neck.
Don't dive towards Kobe's feet as he raises for a jump shot, you won't get kicked in the neck.
Don't be a about it when it's your own fault.
Doesn't hurt to watch the video before you post re ed crap.
Anyone with a brain could tell that was in no way intentional. You guys are trying to say that while Kobe is concentrating on his shot, not even looking down, had a "feel" where Allen was and wanted to go out of his way in order to hurt him instead of make the shot.
Never mind that this idiot dove right at his feet or anything. Who the does that?![]()
That's a big reach on Allen's part.
has he even looked at the replay ???
Lmao Kobe really can be a dirty mother er out there on the court.
I think this incident is nothing worth noting, I just found an opportunity to post that video. I like the song
Tony Allen should worry less about Kobe and worry more about the fact most high school players have a better jumper than he does.
kobe is dirty--almost as dirty as fisher--who is even dirtier than artest--who happens to be just a bit dirtier than gasol---who....
awww it
celtics should just come out and match this tonight and turn this series into a in barroom brawl
that would be better than this ref controlled pussy
Which part of my post was false or "re ed"?..
I didn't watch the video, I just commented on Kobe's history as a dirty player, so any play of this kind becomes questionable when a player with Kobe's reputation is involved, similar to how the media treats other "dirty" players..that's on him for being dirty, when you do it so much, you get a reputation for it..
"I ain't too happy about that neither". LOL
He's right, you're re ed. Watch the damn video and comment rather than make bs allegations based on the past. The thread is regarding the Tony Allen neck kick, not anything to do with the past. TA is just trying to motivate himself for the next game and looking like a complete and delusional.
HarlemHeat just being Harlemhe...err i mean ChrisRichards. Nothing to see here.
