Because I believe the last 3 players that he elbowed in the face were all white including Manu Ginobili, Mike Miller, and Marko Jaric. Now they are saying that he might have just elbowed Kyle Kolver in the face yesterday! With the ratio of blacks to white in the NBA, all 4 players that he hit were white! Which leads me to ask, if Kobe Racist against white people? What do you guys think?

MAKARA asked, "Why does everybody hates kobe"? Well, I never said that I hated Kobe, and I never said that he is racist. I just thought it was strange that all 4 players that he elbowed happened to be white, and if that was just a rare coincidence or Kobe is really racist.

For Alpha Wolf who said "Did you not see him fight Reggie, Chris Childs, and Raja? and what is "white"...because Manu is latino!"
My answer is that any player in the NBA could get in a fight with any other player from a different team. When the game is getting tense with players bumping and pushing off for position, anyone could get pissed a take a cheap shot at another player.
And I look at the players to determine whether their white or not. Like I would consider J. Kidd as being white based on how he looks because he is actually half white and half black

For sportsguy: Last I checked, Kobe and Phil didn't really have a good relationship at all.

For Malice: Are you a racist yourself Matt, or just a 'kobe-hater'?
Is Neither a choice?

Answer for Alpha Wolf: You can't just say that Kobe hit Manu because it was a tense game because the Lakers were involved in more than 1 close game this season. Why didn't he hit someone "black" in a different close games this season? I don't know if you understand that, but it's hard for me to explain what i'm am trying to say.
2007-03-18 18:15:18 · update #5
Probably not
But he is jealous of them, and angry at losing those games, if you take a look at stats, all those players where hit on nights when the lakers lost, so maybe is the madness at losing

Don't start accusing Kobe of being racist, he's been coached for years by a Phil Jackson, who is white and happened to win a couple of championships with him
It just happened that those players were defending him at the time and i think it's clear he didn't elbow them on purpose

He's not racist. If you remember last season his battle with Raja Bell who last time I checked wasn't white. Plus Ginobili and Jaric are both foreign. I just don't see Kobe as a racist....maybe a chauvinist, but not a racist.

1.You are a .....HATER!
A person that simply cannot be happy for another person's success. So rather than be happy they make a point of exposing a flaw in that person.

"My answer is that any player in the NBA could get in a fight with any other player from a different team. When the game is getting tense with players bumping and pushing off for position, anyone could get pissed a take a cheap shot at another player."-you...................the Spurs game was tense...
when Kobe hit Manu , it was late in the game, and the game was on the line.....you are not making any sense?
"And I look at the players to determine whether their white or not. Like I would consider J. Kidd as being white based on how he looks because he is actually half white and half black"
YOU!.. said THIS!!!!.......What is your major malfunction?
Is You Ming black now?...because he is darker then Monta Ellis.......open your eyes...people of color come in all shades..

No he is not. Could it have been that he was being guarded by the other teams best guard defending him. You want to match speed with speed. Kobe is 6'7 kyle Korver 6'6 Manu Ginobili 6'5, Mike Miller 6'7. Marko Jaric 6'5 and they all guards with speed.

i hope kobe elbows sheed so i can watch his little p*ssy a** get beat on tv. but, yea, i forgot kobe only elbows white guys (korver, jaric, ginobli, miller, SERIOUSLY!) kobe can ball, but he better be able to b/c he sucks at life. and cares waayyyyyy too much what ppl think @ him. he's like watching a little kid w/ a fragile ego. but, yea, he can score.... still not in the top 10 all-time, but one of the best right now (maybe top 5 in league now). shaq, though, brought kobe EVERY ONE of his 3 championships. kobe will never win another and that's what he gets for letting his selfishness break up a dynasty.
Source(s):
cracks me up when ppl think they have to defend kobe b/c their ego is as fragile as his

It's really possible that anyone is racist, but playing in the world of professional sports would likely weed out such tendencies, due to years of exposure to all types and races.

It's a certainty. This is not uncommon in the NBA.
Alot of black players are racist.

To even raise this is laughable, and those that give it credence imbecilic.
Are you a racist yourself Matt, or just a 'kobe-hater'?
