Leaving out his skills (solid) and his personal life (whatever) and boiling it down to pure pure fact...
thats 4 shots to the face recently (ok one was the neck).
To Kobe's defense, none of the 4 recipients really thought they were dirty plays (didn't hear much from Miller)
Even Karl Malone never had a run like this... what do you think?

Hey Claury... dunno if you saw the clips, but two of the guys that got hit BLOCKED KOBES SHOT.
AND they did take it like men (I said none of the 4 complained about it)
So what are you talking about.
I'm not passing judgement either way, I'm not even calling intent or no intent. But 4 high shots is four high shots

With popping players after he shoots is just a bad habit.
Miller was just a cheap shot.
Korver's elbow, seemed accidental.
Ginobli, looked intentional.
Kobe is a top 5 player in the league, but seems he always does or says something that overshadows his playing ability.

first of Karl Malone was known to throws bows but doesnt mean it. if he was in the league now, he would get some suspension because david stern is being gay. Shaq was also known to throw bows but dont mean, thats his style of playing and cant stop because its a habit. Kobe is not setting no trend, hes a leader and leading his team. first all gett of the analysts nuts cuz all they say about kobe is crap. when kobe attempts clucth moment shots, he shoots will quick. As a result, his arms lands on the defender face because defenders watch him like he was the movie screen. If the jump on kobes level they wouldnt get hit. If you a aggressive and hard player hustling to make plays, you would sometimes hit the defender, the defenders need to suck up the hit and take it like a damn grown man.
How lame is your questions is he started a trend. I understand if you asked that question if a younger players throw bows. Karl Malone was an expert, if defenders dont move they get hit with the bows, Shaq the same way. they all dont do it intentionally.

I believe there are two things to consider: Sometimes it may be pure reaction as well as the fact that the Lakers are "free-falling" and Kobe needs a way to release his anger...

No, if you look at the one where his hand comes down after the shot, you'll see his other hand does the same thing. He isn't hitting them in the face, he is following through on his shot.

Dirty. Selfish. Criminal. Kobe Bryant.

It's frustration. His team is free falling.

There is nothing wrong with wat he did. He just reacted to the defense, and flung his arm out. I don't see anything wrong with that.
