First it was Manu and now it's Marko Jaric. What's the deal with Kobe slapping these white guys around and getting suspended!? Is it like a natural reaction after his shot or something? You would think that he'd alter his shot if he's going to get suspended each time! I can't believe they call Bruce Bowen dirty when Kobe is doing this!

Here is a better list of white guys he slapped and had altercations with:
Dirk
Mike Miller
Mike Bibby (half-whtie)
Reggie Miller (uncle tom)
Manu
Marco Jaric
Rik Smith
Why has he only taken cheap shots at white guys?
Because the last time he did it to a black guy (Chris Childs), this is what happened to him:

I doubt it has anything to do with skin color- I think Kobe just gets pissed off and reacts by smacking the guy who blocked his shot. Look at a clip of any other jump shot that Kobe shoots, and the follow through is totally different. I think when his J gets blocked, he gets pissed off and purposely alters his follow through to get some "payback" on the blocker. I do find it incredibly ironic that Kobe almost went to Duke. Considering what Duke just did to Tyler Hansbrough of UNC, I think Kobe would've fit right in.

It is a natural reaction it's just how Kobe shoots,it's not dirty and Bowen is dirty,he tries to hurt people.

This is because Kobe is obviously against black on black crime and I applaud him for setting an example for the young African-American brothers. Next time I'd suggest him slapping Chris Kaman and his ugly grill!

LOL kobe has always played dirty, everyone who pays attention knows that he is infamous for those cheap elbow shots. At least he's not hitting his wife like ron artest!

Come to think of it, he beat on Mike Miller last year too.
HA! Kobe the racist, that's pretty funny..... especially seeing as he is known for not having much street cred with the young black community.

Because when he tried that Sh!t with Raja Bell, he got floored!!!
(and I love Chris Childs for popping him to)
He does think he's gods gift and that he can get away with anything.

kobe's a biatchwho i think feels anyone who gets in his way should pay. he can't do it to other players so he picks on players who he feels can't do anything to him
