    The only reply I have seen is from behind which is not as revealing as one from in front would be. Where is the baseline camera shot from under the hoop?

    They just showed one on ESPN. It didn't reveal much more than the other angles.

    I saw it, too. Then I immediately cursed my wife for wanting to save $10 a month by not getting a DVR. How about staying away from the Aveda and Clinique products instead?!? :mad: :mad: :mad:

    The best angle is not the replay we keep seeing over and over again but the live action shot from the stands. I watched it on my dvr in slow motion and it's absolutely clear that Kobe's elbow is delivered above Ron's shoulder and comes in right under Ron's chin. Ron immediately stumbles backwards from blow and then reaches up for his neck. It's difficult to see in real time but the slo-mo replay is indisputable video evidence that Kobe hit him in the throat with his elbow.

    It's a conspiracy and they're trying to cover things up. "Move along people, there's nothing to see here" - Stern

    On my dvr. Like thousands of other viewers, I recorded the game last night.

    Unfortunately I don't have a way to get the video from my dvr to my computer or else I'd upload the video.

    The key is slo-motion replay. It happens so fast that you can't see where the elbow lands without it. You can see clearly that Kobe's elbow is above Ron's shoulder, which is key.

    Fact: it happened just as Ron said it did.

    No, you need the live action angle from the stands. That angle doesn't show the elbow as clear as the real-time view.

    It happened right about the 7:00 mark of the 4th quarter. Yao catches the ball in the low post with Gasol on his back, and then shoots a turnaround. Right as he's getting ready to shoot, Kobe and Ron are jostling for position under the basket. If you watch the slow-motion replay you will notice that right at the same moment that the Yao's shot hit the rim, Kobe sends his right elbow directly under Ron's chin.

    On replay, yes. I'm talking about the real-time view of it as it unfolded. That is the only view that shows it, and you have to watch it in slow-motion to catch it.
