    In tonight's game against Philly, Kobe appears to intentionally nail Korver in the face with an elbow. What is he thinking?

    I don't care what anyone else says, that WAS intentional. He tried it the first time but Korver's face was far away from him. Then, Korver got close and Kobe just swung his elbow up to hit him.

    WTF is Kobe thinking?! Is he trying to bail out on his team? :eek:

    He's letting his frustration with the constant losing get to him.

    I honestly would not be surprised if the league suspended him again...this is becoming a trend, not an aberration anymore.

    Normally, I'd say he wouldn't get suspended for that, but after recent events...

    Man, that was just stupid Kobe.

    It's predictable what the Kobe-lovers will say about this.

    It sure didn't look like much to me. Definitely not worthy of a suspension.

    Damn dude, this is unbelievable. I'm surprised he didn't learn from the past 2 suspensions.

    This looks more intentional than the first 2 if you look at it in the replay.

    I actually like Kobe, but I can't make excuses for him anymore. I think he's 'acting out', whatever that means.

    So even though I actually admire his skills and love watching him play, I am not an apologist like, say, francis 4 prez.

    Oh, and on a related note, this could only add more fuel to the fire to that other thread about Kobe going after White players. :eek:

    Kobe definitely did it out of frustration. If you swung your arm, the elbow is usually below your shoulder. But you swung your arm and your elbow is above your shoulder, is definitely intentional and it doesnt matter you did it out of frustration or not!

    If you looked closely, it almost the same incident as the raja bell playoff series!

    i cant see this being a suspension.

    even though the circumstances DO appear to make it look even more deliberate than the others.

    I cannot stand Kobe. One half of me hopes he gets suspended for 2 games for this, but the other half wants him to keep playing because he is on my fantasy team...

    that should be a suspension if the guy is hurt. but he's perfectly alright, not a scratch. so theres really nothing to talk about.
