Does anybody have a vine or video of when John Wall brutally laid Kobe out on that clear path foul? I really need to meme that.

Meh. It was probably the right call. While Kobe tripped over his own feet, I think John made some contact with him before that, and he was behind Kobe - the rule is what it is.

That play was so bad Stu Lantz and Fox Sports West played the air cleat path foul again and again.

The league office has cameras at every game. They probably said to the refs you missed the call but go ahead and rule clear path.

Um...no he didn't. :-?

The only contact was when Kobe stripped him. You could park a bus in between them. It was a horrendous call.

If someone posts the replay here and I'm wrong, I'll be happy to admit I was wrong. I don't know if Phil and Buck will do the same.
