Houston Rockets VS Lakers:Fisher Flagrant Foul on Luis Scola Kobe Elbow to Artest

Game 2 of the western conference semifinal: Houston Rockets VS L.A Lakers in 5/06/2009. Lot of T-fouls.Kobe Bryant Elbow To Ron Artest Throat

[@jasonpopp2026]

What I wanna know if everyone calls Kobe an Alpha Male for trying to swing at Shaq and not flinching when Matt Barnes fakes throwing a ball at his face when he back away lil a like 13itch when Ron Artest got in his face? If he was as tough as y'all say he would've pushed Artest off of him or at least cussed him in front of his face instead of putting his hands up in the air like some nerd in middle school would when he's not trying get suspended from school over a fight

[@PlayerPunisher]

nope, mc grady was ruled out for the playoffs because of some injury. Then, Yao goes down with an injury in game 2. The lakers were given a run that year, but they pulled it off in typical laker style.

Kobe has one of the dirtiest elbows ever.

Or look at his flailing antics in 2004-2007. You can search on youtube videos of him elbowing Manu Ginobili and Marko Jaric doing that shit. I can't believe so many people let him off the "flopping" or "dirty" label when clearly throwing your arms around like they're noodles and hitting defenders(even if inadvertently) constitutes that
