SI Article: Guarding Kobe

[prettyplaya]

LOL the way kobe is scoring 30s 40s against Shane is like forcing as many fg's as possible to reach the point.

Anyone can do that.

only thing foul on that play is kobes traveling.

The bump from Patterson made Kobes pivot foot slide. So you either call the bump or the travel, in the refs case, you dont call anything and let them play.

� Acting like a slight bump should be called for a foul

No? I am not at all. But if your going to call that a travel when clearly you see people take 3 steps and get away with the "crabdribble" NIGHTLY then yes, you do make that silly call.

Obviously you dont see my point. Either call would have been silly, and the refs know that, so just dont call anything at all. Plus its a buzzer beater in theNBA, so what do you expect? Can't decide a game of high magnitude on a travel call or a slight bump.

That was not a travel. When the game first happened, they had a different angle that proved it wasn't not a travel. It was a highlight from NBA.com.

Still, Cavs trainer Gary Briggs knew better. Says Ehlo, "After the game, he would look me dead square in the eye and say, 'He may have scored 45 points, but you were dead in his s- all night.'" Ehlo pauses. "And that was all I needed to hear."

yes this is about kobe but damn ... jordan

Oh well, just taking homage, again, to the GOAT
