    Wow lol.

    I am a huge Kobe fan but this is kind of deserved (I know that is a horrible thing to say).

    That's not a flop, he lost the ball. And this is from a Kobe hater... :grin:
    That happens a lot, that happened to Brooks last night.

    Not a flop. He got hit on the forearm clearly. He just landed wrong.

    Anyway, I wish that players who continuously flop, especially near the end of close games, get injured so they are out at least the rest of the game. Except for Scola :D

    He was fouled, but the extra sell on kobe's part caused him to land awkwardly. Looks pretty bad, did he return to the game?

    Yeah, this was the game before the Mia game. So, he's fine. :grin:

    I think you need new prescription glasses.

    Yeah, obvious foul lol

    but the way he flails his arms to sell it is pretty funny.

    Watching him turn his ankle hurts my ankles.

    It was against Dallas, the game after the Miami game.

    I don't like Kobe but that wasn't a flop. Clearly got hit on the forearm and landed really bad.

    if t-mac or yao got hurt like that they'd be out for at least 3 weeks.

    Kobe returns...in the same game!

    I can understand you saying that about T-Mac, but when has Yao ever been unwilling to play through pain? Yao is one of the toughest players out there. How quickly you seem to have forgotten him coming back into that playoff game against the Lakers after injuring his leg. Or playing the entire second half two games later on a broken foot.

    He's fouled and he didn't get the call, 2FT became Mavs easy fastbreak. If it were LeBron it would have be flagrant.

    i'm sure you saw the boston game earlier this year (the 3rd game of the series). lebron was blatantly fouled by KG on the drive and no call. so no, the league doesn't love lebron over kobe.

    kobe is still averaging 7 ft attemtps a game, and that's ridiculous for the type of jump shots he takes. he doesn't even look to drive as much.

    It's a semi-flop. He was fouled, but not hard enough to have to flail the arms around like that. But I don't blame him for doing that. It's the only way to get calls your way these days. Here's the irony: He overdid it and the refs thought it was a blatant flop and didn't call it.
