Has Kobe become a dirty player?

Question

2 player already, who next?

Answer 1

You took that right off the YAHOO front page. IMO, yes. You have a pro basketball player who doesn't control a shot?? C'mon, it just doesn't happen unless there is some intent involved. He's doing it all too often.

Answer 2

I think that he has been a dirty player for a while now and I'm sure that there are a few guys in the NBA that will agree. The cheap shots, using the off arm, and kicking with jump shots are things that Kobe has been doing for years. Now he just gotten so arrogant that he has become right out blatant with it because he feels that he is untouchable by the league. He is a great player but he needs an attitude adjustment.

Answer 3

Kobes not a dirty player, the NBA is a fast league players are bigger and faster, arms and Legs fly all the time, I think its a mans game, I didnt think the foul was that bad! Buck up its almost playoff time!

Answer 4

Kobe's a punk, or at least he's becoming a punk. I see the trend starting, complaining about the officials, dropping his arm to hit other players in the face...

Where has the sportsmanship gone? Jordan never had to do that. Bird never had to do that. Stockton, Wilkins, Malone, Pippen, Rodman.

Ok, so Rodman was just a joke, but you get my point!! Rodman was the hockey player of the NBA for the longest time, then he just got weird!!

Answer 5

When you work for an organization like the NBA, that is full of thugs, greed, and immature millionaires, that atmosphere will inevitably rub off on you. It is an unfortunate reality. Playing professional basketball, greeting the fans, doing community programs, and conducting pleasant interviews may be long gone and it is a shame. A professional at any job must act accordingly and the NBA is getting a failing grade.

Answer 6

Give me a break, all good players in the league are dirty players. You don't get to the NBA by playing clean. If you've played any type of organized basketball, you know this is true.

Everyone holds, elbows, pushes off, undercuts, exaggerates fouls etc etc. Bird did it. Jordan did it. Malone did it. It's part of the game; deal with it, and is one of the many facets of a good player.

Answer 7

If you check the video evidence down below you can see Kobe's natural shooting motion differs greatly from the two times he's assualted Ginobili and Jaric.

I'm not so sure he's dirty, but I don't see how he can do such deliberate acts and expect to get away with it. There is definitely a pattern forming here.

Answer 8

I don't know but he thinks he's the next Michael Jordan. He will never have a game as good as MJ. Look at him sometimes. He has that look and that attitude about him that he thinks he's so great. Anyone can score 80 points in a game if your team feeds you the ball like every 5 seconds.

Answer 9

Kobe is a punk...! wait until they do the same to him....i really would like to see his reaction.

If it is a men game my friend, how come they are calling flagrant fouls? get your act together and follow the rules...

If i was out on the court, and kobe did that to me, I would definitely go after his ***.... but wait they would call a technical foul on me.....see the point...!!!!

Still convince that is a maen game...!?

it is.....

Answer 10

Yes kobe has become a bad player. he has no sportsmanship.
