Other players in the league tries to create space. So why is this ONLY happening to Kobe? You know why? Because he's a psycho & he's doing it on purpose.

No excuses. I love Kobe, but the elbows went over the line. 3 strikes, ur out. Should be out at least 15 games.

If you are older than 15 you should have heard of someone named Karl Malone. Considered by coaches, players, and fans as one of the best power forwards of all time. If they kept elbow throwing as an official stat, he would have led the league. Throwing the quick elbow after a rebound is a time proven NBA tactic that has been successful among the NBA elite. At least HALF, no exaggeration HALF the league uses elbowing as a pro-level tactic. So grow a pair and if you are too weak to watch contact sports then switch to golf or tennis.

i do no longer completely trust you. sure this is problematic to observe Kobe no longer bypass the ball while he's having an off night. however the western convention is plenty greater good than the jap convention. look at who Lebron James performed against. The Washington Wizards lost their famous individual participant Gilbert Arenas, so as that they in no way had of undertaking. And New Jersey had such an up and down season this year it replaced into stunning that they only have been given this far. look at who the Lakers had to play. They performed against Phoenix, that's one between the finest communities interior the NBA. So it is not all on Kobe's skills. this is merely a greater good branch.

Kobe Bryant was not smacking or elbowing anyone purposely. The incidence that occured when Manu Ginobli and Marco Jaric were hit happened because Bryant was trying to draw a foul and at the same time he was ready to get the loose ball and throw up another shot, the reason he had put his hand out in Ginobli's case is because he was trying to clear space so he could get the loose ball. Kobe Bryant has shot thousands of jump shots in practices, games, and many many clutch situations and his arm comes out many times, not to hit anyone but just because of his basketball instincts of clear out to get the loose ball. If anyone is to be labeled dirty players its marco jaric and manu ginobli. They are in the top of the list when it comes to slapping and especially causing inadvertent flops. Bryant will never be labeled a dirty player. He we be labeled with the many greats of the nba. Jordan, Bird, Johnson and Chamberlin.

It's an accident.
Your shot got blocked, you got off balance and your brain tells you to try and gain balance by swing your arm, the defenders just happened to be there to block the shot.
And it couldn't have been on purpose.
My shot is blocked, okay, so I'm mad, and I'm gonna swing my arms, pertend I'm gaining balance, and hit you in the head, even though my team's winning, we are going to win, and I might get suspended again. Does human brain work like that? It doesn't work so fast.
We are not making excuses, it's just that it's ridiculous to get suspended for something he did on accident.
And may I ask why you assume he did it on purpose?

Its being blown outta whack. If this was Luke Walton it wouldnt even be this big. The first one I think Kobe meant it. However, the second I dont. And the third time, I think he was mad he got suspended so he threw and elbow.

Why is it creating space?
When he smacked Manu it was not on a motion of shooting, ha was on his way down, why did he wanted space? , it has no excuse, you hit, you pay, thats how it works
