He was trying to draw a foul after their was contact. Notice Kobe didnt even look at Ginobili or even have a look of malice on his face. He went for the ball right after the elbow which means he wasnt thinking of doing anything intentional. He was totally concentrated on the game and he felt bad after he did. Stu Jackson is an idiot.

What about Rasheed intentionally poking Haywood's eyes or Billups nearly breaking Gilbert's nose or Rip Hamilton kicking Stevenson into Antawn's knee?
Odom got plowed by Jared Jefferies on his last 3 pointer. Where was the foul there?But yeah I don't see how Kobe gets a suspension for that.
