OT: D-Whistle broke Kobe's nose

[socks fit OK]

It wasn't that hard a foul at all. Bit of a freak injury there..

Woj now reports that not only did he break Kobe's nose, but he gave him a concussion,too. Damn.

Agreed that was an unnecessarily hard foul in an all star game. Kobe is pretty tough indeed and I hope he destroys the Heat Sunday. Also got a feeling Wade is gonna get his ass kicked too. Kobe handled it very well. Nice to see LeBron screw up the final play at the end too. He should have taken that shot instead of passing it. Then he looked like he was gonna cry when interviewed at the end.

Dwade with a sucker move. you never wrap someone up, especially after a hopstep. They could blow out their knee. Wade should have let DHoward handle it anyways.

Would have loved to see how that ended up. Kobe probably would've ended up going spin reverse after seeing Howard come fill the block.

You guys act like he did a hard foul. It didnt look or seem intentional. It was a tough foul for an allstar game, but didnt seem intentional or over the top. The bad part is he hit his nose and it wound up broken. All the things being posted is probably b/c Wade is our Rival...But i dont see no sucker move or any of the other nonsense.

Who comes up with nicknames like "D-Whistle" anyways?

Sounds like a strippers name to me… I need Hennesy on the main stage D Whistle stand by...

I agree with you but it would be viewed differently if Wade would have at least checked on Kobe after the hit. He fouled him hard and then just walked away like he was sending a message and ch*t..lol

Wrap ups happen all the time, especially in the playoffs...and it won't blow out a knee, the pressure is usually absorbed int he shoulder area, or in this case, Kobe's face.

Still don't think this was a big deal or dirty. We wouldn't even be talking about this if not for Kobe breaking his nose.

Up until that point Nobody was even playing defense.. Guys were throwing alley oops left and right and then your going to rap up a player going up for a layup?? It was a good regular season game foul, but this was an allstar game just let him go.. IMO

Yea you have a point, b/c honestly thats the one thing I questioned.

[SpReEfOrAlL]

The thing that bothers me is that Kobe wouldn't have been expecting it to begin with. Its the allstar game, there is not reason for anyone to foul you like that in the 3rd quarter of the allstar game. Pretty easy to get hurt that way.

[kneega]

Wow e I guys serious lol. How many of you played ball? When your ballin injuries occur. Wow makes me wonder how many of you are really nyc boys.

Get outta here with that. I can guarantee I play more ball than you. The foul was "scum baggish". Once again Wade shows his greatness-lol. Scumbag!

[ToHoleWithSoul]

Two douchebags...they shoulda killed each other

[kane2021]

If Wade got his nose broke he would have put on a 5 minute drama.

[nyshakespeare]

That's something you expect to see in a playoff game.
This was an exhibition game...bitch move.
