Kobe Bryant, Reggie Miller Fight
Fox Sports Net (Lakers) Full Coverage
LA Lakers vs Indiana Pacers
March 1, 2002
Staples Center
Since clarified by Reggie as a classic case of “unwritten rules” being broken, the miniature brawl led to a statement made by the Pacers’ legend two days after the incident:
“Kobe has other issues he has to deal with. This had nothing to do with me or the basketball game played on Friday evening.”
The league handed both shooting guards 2 game suspensions for the scuffle. In addition, both were fined - Bryant $12,500 and Miller $10,000.

As much I like number 8 Kobe, his behavior was more erratic, Ill tempered and far more likely to get into fights. Number 24 Kobe was more mature, and tend to avoid getting into fist fights since he knew he was important to the Lakers success as the number one option and leader of the team.
