Will Kobe Be Suspended?

That rule applies to everybody except Kobe. Read the fine print.

 

No, he won't be... and he shouldn't be.

I'll go ahead and leave it at that.

 

I have said it before in another thread but here it is:

 

Nope. U need to understand it's NBA. They are money digging mofos.

 

Kobe was just trying to get position, its not his fault that Ron's throat viciously attacked his elbow.

 

Well if the the rulebook states that, kobe SHOULD BE SUSPENDED....
but if the nba wants the cavs and lakers in the finals, he wont

 

no, he won't be suspended and shouldn't be. and i don't want him to be suspended. we can beat them w/o him being suspended, too.

 

lol anyone who thinks kobe will be suspended for this has never watched the nba before

 

I hate to break it to yall, but if Kobe had thrown a punch he wouldnt get suspended.

 

Why would the WWFNBA suspend it's top money getter? That would be ludicrous.

 

Rons throat was in the way of Kobe's elbow! Duh! Whatever Kobe does is right, you should know that!

 

Hell no.

 

if Kobe raped one of the cheerleaders at midcourt, he still wouldn't get suspended.

 

I said yes. But I hope not. I want to break that freaking Kobe at game 3!

 

Shouldn't be suspended. I'd rather beat LA with him on the floor.

 

I wrote this in the Mike & Mike thread...

The NBA follows the rule exactly to detail when a player comes just a foot off the bench during an on the court fight. Does the NBA really need to suspend a player when he just walks a few feet from the bench and never actually gets into the fight? No, but they follow the rule as it’s written so there is never any discrepancy. Why wouldn't the NBA suspend a player over an elbow to the neck that is stated in the rule book as a suspendable offence? You’re telling me Amare walking a few feet from the bench a few years against the Spurs is worse than an elbow to the neck?

 

They will give some sort of crazy justification for why what he did was inadvertent.

"We've reviewed the tape of the incident and have determined that the facts of the situation do not merit a suspension. It seems to us that the player was attempting to clear his man out and inadvertently "pushed off" on his defender with an elbow, but did not show an act of aggression. This was a common basketball play that was complicated by the coincidental placement of the push-off elbow on the defenders throat. However, there was no intent. Thank you."

 

hes kobe....so he wont be...fukin b****

 

He wound up and elbowed Artest above the shoulders. Generally, that's a 1 game suspension.
