Kobe getting fouled as much as ANY player I have ever seen with no calls.

INCLUDING MELO.

When you jump into a moving defender you are SUPposed to get the ball.

EVERYONE else does.

Kobe???? Not so much.

What does that have to do with the patheticness of that call?


Ummmm lets see.... your dissing Sasha for flopping and saying the NBA isn't full of men anymore when your team(the Nuggets) flops as much as any team in the NBA.

Now do you see? or should I go even slower?

That actually was the right call on Kobe. Watch the replay and you'll see he moved way into Smith while he was in the air. Doesn't matter if you hold your arms straight when you move into the shooter.

Refs clearly letting Nuggets prove they are still worthy match up. At worst lakers will kill next game.

Dude when the Lakers play the Jazz you are probably gonna have a heart attack. The Jazz idea of defense is to foul you. If the refs called every foul the Jazz wouldn't have players left to compete and since thats unrealistic...Kobe is gonna get a hit a lot with no fouls being called.

The flopping isn't what makes it not a league of men. Its the rewarding of the flops that makes it not a league of men.

Euro-trash doesn't particularly contribute to the un-manliness. Just the smelliness and ugliness.

Oh please, that was good D by Kobe and a HORRIBLE shot by JR Smith. He just got bailed out hardcore. They usually don't give that call, but apparently this game they are.

You can do whatever you want as long as you dont touch the player youre guarding.

Thats exactly what happened.

Wow at the last Kobe shot
"I definitely knew he traveled, but I didn't know they were going to call it. That was one of them situations in which a great player made a move...and they called the call. And I was like, 'Oh, man, there is a God.'
