    Kobe gets hand checked and they call a foul, yet Delonte and Rondo were getting hacked on the other end and no one was calling a thing. Kobe palms the ball like its f*cking AND 1 mixtape basketball out there. I remember before Tony Allen got hurt he would get called for dribble violations and travels like 4-5 times a game. It puzzles me to the limit. I am completely confused by this. It's f*cking ridiculous and inane and shouldn't be taking place.

    Haha, I have seen soo many Laker games over the years to say that Kobe doesn't get away with much. He gets hacked and fouled all game without fouls being called. He just got suspended for an accidental punch yesterday, give me a break.

    The same reason players liek LeBron and Wade get away with so many things. You act like Kobe's the only player in the league that gets some special treatment.

    Psh, if u have watched any Cavalier games this season and seen Larry Hughes drive, he is getting NO CALLS, at all.But Kobe is a vet, HOF for sure, and a star. It's like that with all the other superstars too. You know this already...
