Kobe suspended one game

[bellalumni40]

Does he have eyes in the side and back of his head? He never looked away from the rim and then the ball...

Ever heard of peripheral vision? I know Kobe likes to shoot, but I can assure you he has it.

Kobe has peripheral vision behind his back and below his shoulder? Now that's impressive... :lol:

So you are trying to say that Kobe would have no idea where Ginobili's head, or otherwise would be during that play?

I don't think in any way shape or form he was aiming to hit him in the head. The ball was free and his instinct was to be the one that gets it. He fouled him in that process, but it no way tried to hit him in the head. I've watched it a million times, and nothing leads me to believe it was intentional...

IMO Kobe did mean to do it. You don't follow through to the right that bad. If he always did that then he wouldn't be Kobe. What I mean by that is, is he wouldnt score 81 points in one game etc. Heck, if he always did that then he probably wouldn't be in the NBA. The suspension explanation is retarded but IMO he did mean to do it. He was frustrated that he got his game winning shot blocked & took it out on the player that was responsible.

 

BTW, I'm a Kobe fan & you know that HT, but there's no reason to take up for Kobe on this. He did it, he told Ginobli he was sorry & it's over.

I watched it once and KNEW it was intentional.

I'm not surprised...

Yeah, you must be right. If I disagree with you on something about Kobe, I must be a Kobe hater.

So you dont think he meant to hit him at all? Maybe he didnt mean to hit him in the head, maybe he tried to hit him in the shoulder and accidentally caught him in the head. Whatever the case, it was a blatant swing. As I said, Kobe's reputation precedes him and that doesnt help matters.

Thanks I knew you would know where to get some.:sssh:

 

HSSB has no clue where the 'roids are. Or the weight room for that matter. :lol:

[ColonelCrazy]

I know. About a foot and a half. And the natural instinct is to keep Manu from getting there first. Foul? Sure. Suspension? Laughable. If he bends his elbow in any way I'm with it...

 

Foul? Absolutely. It's frustration. But he hit him on purpose. Maybe much harder than he intended & maybe not where he planned (I hope...), but he definitely hit him intentionally.
