Raja plays defense with his face. If any of you have ever played basketball, you all know that you don?t defend with your face. Look at how Raja tries to get very close to Kobe to keep him from shooting .? he sticks his head out very close to Kobe?s body? guess what? Kobe is entitled to his space on the court. Also Raja wouldn?t be hurting as much if he stopped flopping like a fish on ice. ;-) If Raja couldn?t open his jaw how the hell is he still talking? Go Lakers.

As for Raja being classless, sure he isn't being politically correct ubt would you rather he give some BS apology? Hes speaking the truth, these teams don't like each other and Raja is expressing his actual feelings rather than some crap his agent or his team told him to say. I'm sure the last thing Kobe wants to hear is an apology. Clotheslining Kobe was definitely uncalled for but I can definitely understand why he did it since hes been elbowed in the face at least once this series and no foul has been called on the other player. Raja definitely deserves a suspension since Posey got one for his hit on Hinrich but its understandable that he fouled Kobe out of frustration.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheBlackMamba:</div><div class="quote_post">I heard it from my friend, I'm not backing it. Kobe will take some shots from time to time...</div> They just showed the interview with Kobe's reply to Raja, and it was exactly what your friend said so I can confirm that.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Didn't he give a statement to the media where he said Shaq was cheating on his wife?</div> He said something to that effect off the record in his police interview the night they brought him in for questioning, and like everything else the media got wind of it and twisted it and blew it up. Funny- no one EVER mentions how Jordan paid off multiple women to keep quiet.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting ilive4ball:</div><div class="quote_post">Funny- no one EVER mentions how Jordan paid off multiple women to keep quiet.</div> Its totally different. Unwritten code of the NBA is to never rat out your teammates or any players for that matter about anything in their personal lives. I'm not saying cheating on your wife is right but if a player knows about it and tells that to anyone its breaking that code. I don't care that MJ may have cheated on his wife or that Kobe did cheat on his wife or that Shaq may have but when a player tells that to someone else its totally classless.
<font color=""Black"">"I have no respect for him. I think he's a pompous, arrogant individual." </font> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"><font color=""Red"">First off, I would like to say that I am sick and tired of not only Bell but Steve Nash also. Steve nash used to be pretty humble little man but I think the MVPs have gone to his head. They really call this guy the MVP? How can any human being defend Raja Bell? Dont give me that he's captain crap. I expect him to defend his teammate or perhaps not say anything negative. But to imply that Raja may be suspended not because the call was a Flagrant Foul II, but because it was on Kobe is childish banter. He should be ashamed of himself Raja Bell is a flopper not a defender! Nothing ruins the game of basketball as the so-called defenders who just throw themselves to the floor. Bell is F#@K$D. No matter what he tries, Kobe will always be infinitely better than him. No matter what cheap-shot maneuver Bell tries, Kobe will still outplay him in the end. I don't remember Nash talking about the knot on Kobe's head after game 1. But now, the Suns are losing the series because of the refs? Come on Nash, grow up and take your butt-woopin like a man.</font></div>
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting LO7:</div><div class="quote_post"><font color=""Black"">" Come on Nash, grow up and take your butt-woopin like a man.</font></div> there isn't exactly a butt woopin, the lakers have only won by 6, 7 and 1 point while the suns beat us by 17 points in 1 game, the games are close and it can go either way
I mean don't get me wrong here, I love Kobes game and I know that Kobe's the best player in the league.I think that what Raja did was completely stupid, and was uncalled for. But you guys have to admit that after Kobe got hit , he brushes his shoulders off and laughs...common Kobe...what hes doing trying to act hard ?, we all know he's from Italy...

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Brian:</div><div class="quote_post">awww......boo hoo. little raja bell cant stand a little playoff contact. awww......i feel so sorry for raja. maybe he should just go cry to his mommy? seriously though. it has come to the point where i virtually hate raja bell, and i want to KILL him. what has the guy ever accomplished in his nba career that makes him think he can say crap like this? seriously though. the guy has 0% credibility</div> Dude, the guy is an established NBA starter and is reconized top man to man defender. I'm sorry if you new generation of basketball fans aren't used to seeing this physical man to man styling of defense, and seeing your superstar Kobe, getting challenged. What Raja Bell said about Kobe was unessary yes, but I like it. I like how Raja Bell disrespects Kobe, and has no boundaries. I felt good when I saw Raja choke slam Kobe on the floor...cause enough of this prideless weak defensive efforts on today's NBA superstars.
if kobe wanted to hurt raja bell... he could have anytime.... WTF does raja mean by "iys bball the last 4 games" guys! he's been hitting kobe every time he got he ball... tsk tsk raja bell is just a jealous guy who loves to have kobe's talent

Kobe is Kobe thats why he brushes his shoulder's off. I really thought he was gonna get up and pound that sissy but he's a veteran. He can CONTROL himself.
