Does the NBA/Stern hate Kobe? The many non-calls and suspensions suggest some conspiracy/spite against Kobe.?

Answer 1

NON-CALLS are you kidding, Kobe gets plenty of calls that should sometimes be no calls and would be offensive if it were a guy like Anthony Johnson doing it. Kobe should get more than 1 game for hitting Jaric, he didn't intentional if you look at the replay he swings his arm back to hit Jaric not out like he should of to flail his arms, he needs to just play the game and quit flailing altogether(although it will never happen) and play the game. (he is one of the best today)

Answer 2

Absolutely, It has become totally obvious. Kobe gets hacked on all the time and doesn't get the calls. Stern does not want Kobe to represent the NBA because of the allegations that were brought against him by the gold-digger in Colorado. Stern needs to let the games play out instead of trying to hand pick who the stars of the league are going to be. I missed the latest incident, however I saw the one against the Spurs and it was a joke. Kobe was not even called for a foul or a technical. Stern is an idiot

Answer 3

Kobe gets hated on a lot and has been since he first came in the NBA because he is a little cocky and it rubs people the wrong way because he is a good looking black man. In my experiance good looking black men attract more hate then good looking white men if they are arrogant. However actors usually get away with being arrogant. I really don't care if he's arrogant or cocky because it doesn't effect me personally so I don't see why people care at all. Kobe is my favorite player.

Answer 4

kobe gets calls that shouldnt even be made... he is the benifactor of so many calls it isnt even funny, rediculous in fact. if kobe was in the real world he would fould out every game and get less than half of the free throws he does now. he is the most slobbered over player in the league and has no right to complain about non calls.

Answer 5

Kobe has been suspended twice for the EXACT same action. The first time was questionable, but the second time was clearly meant to hit the guy. Kobe has fantastic body control, just look at some of the moves he pulls off. To not be able to control your arms on a jump shot yet be able to do what Kobe does game in and game out is not believable. He meant to do it, he is trying to clear out space for shooting, and he got busted for it. Sorry Kobe, control you flailing arms and you don;t have to worry about it.

Answer 6

No they don't hate Kobe. The man is doing it to himself. He should know better but he thinks he is better than everyone else and can or should get away with hitting people. Stern may not hate Kobe but I do.

Answer 7

I feel so and it looks like it too! It could still be the whole rape thing! People need to get over it, his wife did and the case was dropped. It's over, give the guy his dues. If it was MJ, they would look the other way. His a vet and there is no other vet in the league that takes it night in and night out like Kobe, he would be averaging 32-34 point a game if he would get those foul calls.

Answer 8

I dont't think so, stern is just doing his job and hes doing it right Kobe clearly meant to hit Manu and Marco on purpose.

Answer 9

if you think these calls against kobe are bad, then you should see baron davis'. he got suspended for swiping but did not make any contact. it looked like he did, but replay clearly showed that he didnt touch mobley. even mobley admitted it. at least when kobe gets suspended he gets his moneys worth.

Answer 10

kobe deserves every suspension he got..

that is called justice
