I can't agree more!
Kobe is my favorite player, and Los Angeles is my favorite team, and it hurts me to see the NBA use such poor judgement on such a natual movement.
I think stu jackson should be suspended!

I searched Brad Miller on Youtube and found nothing on his hard foul of Robert Horry, I didn't see the play myself. I watched TNT's post game show after the Kings/Spurs and they weren't talking about it, not even a mention.
However I looked for Kobe Bryant on Youtube and a plethora of dirty foul tapes appeared. He nails Raja Bell in the face with an elbow (which resulted in the Raja closeline answer we all remember). He retaliates on Mike Miller with a vicious elbow to the face coming down the lane, so blatant. And this season he's taken his frustrations out on Manu Ginobili and Marko Jaric. There was a great video up on youtube last week showing Kobe Bryant shooting several jump shots like everyone else does arm straight up in the air hold for follow through (user took the video down unfortunately). Then it shows the two attacks on Jaric and Ginobili. Complete unnatural shooting motion. I just don't see how you can say the guy doesn't have a tendency for dirty play because he certainly has a history of it. And when a player has a history of dirty play and injures another player during the game with an unnecessary blow to the face. What do you want the league to do?

He only got suspended one game for doing the same thing to two different players. It's only a total of two games he missed for that. The Lakers will still make the playoffs but without Odom or Walton they won't be doing that good in the playoffs. Brad Miller only had a hard foul on Robert Horry it happens in games and you can't be suspended for fouling someone with a hard foul. Stu Jackson isn't that bad he only suspended Bryant for two games which is nothing.

They want to prove the point that this isn't a superstar's league, that anyone can be suspended or ejected. In the case of Kobe, Marko Jaric came back and even said it wasn't intentional. I think his first suspension was deserved but Stu Jackson was too tough on him this time around.
Also, I believe that that is NOT a natural follow through, but i guess it might be for Kobe.

I remember last year in his 62-point game when he did the same thing to Dirk and gave him a black eye. Nobody said anything but it was obvious the play was dirty. It's okay for a guy to try to sell a call by flailing his arms, but Kobe is doing way after it's necessary to do it, he's throwing his arms right into their faces, and a guy's flailing arm isn't going to hit a guy hard enough to blakcen an eye or almost break a nose unless the guy is doing it on purpose, trying to catch him in the face to send a mesage--it just isn't. And that's why I'm glad the NBA has finally noticed and taken action for Kobe's continued dirty play, because the play is pretty friggin' dirty.

Kobe is a target because he is a great player, and they're just using him to set an example. Nobody's going to care if Brad Miller gets suspended a game. It's not fair but I guess it comes with the territory

He got suspended because he's done the exact same thing before. If he got suspended then, why should he not get suspended now? I find it quite pathetic how even Phil Jackson will defend Kobe's every little move. Your right, he is human, that's why he got suspended.

You obviously didn't see either of the plays Kobe was suspended for. Both times, theplayer was on his right side (not "under him"). Then after shooting, Kobe flails his arm WAY out to the right trying to draw a foul. He got what he deserved.

I said to myself I wasn't going to think of it again cause every time i do I get angry cause of frustration. Originally I don't like Kobe but these injustices make me a fan .. they r so unfair to him. Honestly he Isn't allowed to follow through with his shot to try to get a foul. this is bullshit,

I like Kobe as much as you do (apparently) but he is a dirty player. If that was his first offense I could see, but this is his 2nd or 3rd of just this year. C'mon man you know that was a dirty shot.
The NBA is not targeting out Kobe. Trust me. He is their money man.
