Lakers coach Phil Jackson has stated that he feels the league is out to get his star player, Kobe Bryant. After a third incident, involving Bryant's elbow, and an opponents face (this time Kyle Korver), the league has issued a flagrant foul 1 penalty.
I think it's great that the league is stepping up, and punishing repeat offenders. It shouldn't matter if the player is a bench warmer, or a superstar. I can't see how Jackson can complain. But then again, he has a history of making ridiculous comments, which have resulted in stiff fines from the league office.
My props to the NBA for being consistent in enforcing their own rules, and not allowing a star player like Bryant to get away with his dirty play.
Your thoughts?
