<div class="quote_poster">Quoting GatorsowntheSEC:</div><div class="quote_post">Wasn't he complaining in Game 1, when he got hit in the face and had a big knot on his forehead? (Which of course should have been a foul) Bell can't even open up his jaw(from what he said) and no call. So it's sorta hypocritical to say that Kobe didn't go around complaining to everyone, when he did. Kobe handled it much better than Raja did, but I sure hope Phil Jackson didn't say that to him, because I would lose respect for him.</div> He said something to the refs, not the Media. Big difference. Media asks Kobe about the rough play: Kobe: That's basketball, its a rough game. Period. Media asks Raja about the rought play: Raja: I can't open my jaw, I am getting abused. Cry Cry Cry.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting j0se:</div><div class="quote_post">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.</div> Think before you talk! <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">superstar Kobe, getting challenged.</div> Hard to beleive. Your just as biased as your Knicks.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting LO7:</div><div class="quote_post">He's not a defender, <font color=""Red"">He's a Flopper!</font></div> Not talking about that, he was saying he hits Kobe everytime he gets the ball. That's what he's sopposed to do. He even told Barbosa to do so when he was guarding Kobe. If they call a foul, then they call a foul. Kobe is going to get his points though.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting PauL WaLL:</div><div class="quote_post">tracy mcgrady when healthy is on kobes level or really close anyways</div> The closest thing to Kobe is LBJ23
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting LO7:</div><div class="quote_post">Not I surrender Kobe: I have a game 6 to win. I'll see you in the summer. We'll workout together.</div> I don't know who on Phoneix can keep Kobe from doing his domination, this is will be the toughest match up for Phoneix, because Lakers have shown they can play half court and keep the pace on a half court game. Phoneix is a better fast break/up tempo team than half court. They don't run alot of post up or plays for the PF, unless Diaw is on Parker. I hope Suns win though, because we really need to see Raja and Kobe go at it. I want blood game 7.

Damn it! I wasted on buying a game 6 ticket for no reason.thing, I thought Raja Bit*@ was gonna be there. I was gonna bust a cap on his ass. With that said, i have to get to work tommorow and a Laker game to attend.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting unbeliever:</div><div class="quote_post">Growing a beard and what else? Actually I like LBJ better than Kobe, I just think his beard is goofy.</div> I dont think you like LBJ cause of beard. It's hard to love kobe when you know he's the best.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting LO7:</div><div class="quote_post">I dont think you like LBJ cause of beard. It's hard to love kobe when you know he's the best.</div> Well for one thing, at that level, "best" is so nearly impossible to determine as to be effectively pointless. So for me, the off-court antics and on-court attitude play a large part in determining which I like (if at all) better than the other. Personality and sportsmanship matter a lot. Between that and the amount of effort, or "heart", a player puts into their game.. that's all that really matters. Playing for a team I actually give a damn about helps too. Since I could care less about the Cavs or the Lakers, LBJ and Kobe don't really even register on my radar except when playing the team I like to watch.
I loved Kobe's reply to Bell's comments. "Do I know this kid? He must have not been hugged enough as a kid or something. I look at him one way and he starts feeling all insecure."
ya'll are looking at this one sided. You're telling me Kobe is a class act? Do any of you re-call the game with Memphis when Kobe deliberately fore armed Mike Miller to the throat? Isn't this the same situation?

But what Raja Bell did was a lot dumber because he did it in the playoffs when his team was facing elimination.
I hope Bell's jaw is hurting during his suspension as he watches his team loose. Bell: I have no respect for Kobe. Sorry to say Raja, but you couldn't hold Kobe's jock strap. Sit down.
