Just a couple weeks ago Oklahoma was playing Texas Tech. OU's Longar Longar was trying to clear out when he had the ball and cracked the defender right in the face. He said it was unintentional, and was suspended for 2 games. Agreed that basketball is a physical sport, but I think they're trying to have players have some accountability for what they do on the court.And all the OU boards are still crying about a conspiracy too.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/rqsgD8ybQ00" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/rqsgD8ybQ00</a>How is that the same, dude? Longar swung the ball into dudes face right in front of him. Kobe was looking at the basket the whole time during the play, he was caught in the air falling backwards all while tryna make a basket, of course he's gunna swing his arms out, he ALWAYS does that... it's clear to everyone that he didn't wanna hurt Ginobli, he was concentrating on making the basket all while time was expiring, any moron who's ever played the game should know where his mind was at that time...Can't believe ya'll hate Kobe so much that you're not even against this. It's the same because A) LL swore it was unintentional B) It was an elbow to the face. Now they were both doing different things, but clearing out using your elbows is done in every game. So it's very likely that its incidental contact, and difficult / impossible to prove it was malicious. In fact it's much more common than smashing the shit outta somebody's face on a follow through on a jumper. But the bottom line is that he got suspended for two games for making a basketball move. So getting suspended for a game for what Kobe did isn't a tragedy or a conspiracy. Shit like this happens all the time. You guys only take notice when it affects your team.Quote from: Rik on January 30, 2007, 04:25:38 PMTo Jrome. Well Melo punched a player causing a brawl. KG swung at a player. There isn't any indisputable evidence that Kobe did that on purpose.The brawl was WELL underway before Melo threw the punch. Nate Robinson is more responsible for what happened in NY than anybody. Hell you could probably name 3 other guys more responsible for what happened than Melo, including Isiah.Here's whats clearly happening in my opinion. When a superstar in the league fucks up, they're gonna throw the book HARD. They have to be hardest on the stars in situations like this because those are the ones that get all the pub. Nobody gives a fuck if Nate Robinson or Antonio McDyess get suspended. But KG, Melo, and Kobe? They are THE ELITE players in the league and they are constantly under a microscope. So if those guys fuck up in the slightest, they're gonna pay. It's not just Kobe / Lakers that this happens to.

To Jrome. Well Melo punched a player causing a brawl. KG swung at a player. There isn't any indisputable evidence that Kobe did that on purpose.
I was watching the game when it happened and I thought it def should have been called when he did it. Watch the replay - it def wasn't his natural follow through the way he flailed his arms. Now granted, he might have just been flopping and inadvertantly smashed manu in the face, that I can't call. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/-a7TGrVIu3o" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/-a7TGrVIu3o</a>How come you guys aren't bitching about KG's suspension the other night? What about Melo for getting however many games for throwing one punch? There must be a grand conspiracy against those guys as well.And LMMFAO @ NIK screaming and crying like someone killed his mom. And then you call the NBA??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. It's a fucking basketball game - get a life.

If this deserves a suspension, so do tons of other things on a gamely basis. Do you honestly believe this deserved a suspension? Do you honestly believe Wade woulda' gotten a suspension over something like this? Or how bout a trip to the line? Bottom line, this is COMPLETE bullshit. Laker fans are being screwed left and right. No denying it...PeACe
Yeah I am a Bulls fan and that elbow was not flagrant. It's like the NBA has something against Kobe. He be getting murdered in these games with no call and something like this gets him suspended?
^^Just because you can't understand what I'm typing doesn't mean I have no arguments. Guys get hit in this game all the time, it's a MANS sport. Of course you wouldn't understand this, cuz you're a dumb faggot.
^^Dude, you sound like a straight up hater. Why would Kobe purposely hit Ginobli in the face, what would he have against him? Kobe wasn't flopping, he was tryna draw contact like he always does when someone runs into him tryna block the shot, Kobe is KNOWN for flailing his arms like that when he gets bumped or blocked, it's even in that one "ballerina" pic ya'll use to clown him...Ginobli made contact with Kobe just as much as Kobe made contact with Ginobli, anyone who is siding with the league on this is either a mad hater or flat out insane...Jrome, check who's agreeing with you, it's only E-Crazy. You should feel embarrassed for that alone...Tonight, Brian Cook clocked Channine Frye in the eye on a follow through, causing Frye to lose his contact. based on the NBAs new precedence they've set with this low, Cook can now be suspended. Imagine if something like this happened in the finals...GREAT. The NBA can easily decide any game they want...
Jrome, that's a point of emphasis, if you can't tell that it was on purpose, and the opposing player and coach say it was inadvertent (and even ask to league not to take action) then how is it rational to suspend him? Think about that one...And did you see the Laker game today? If so, did you see the last shot by Brian Cook? Same exact thing happened...Will the NBA suspend Cook now? They've set the standard very low if this is what they're gunna call a suspension, and even you have to acknowledge that...And to the faggot, notice how no one quoted reply 36...I've been done with you.
