Is Kobe selectively picking white guys to cheap shot?
 

Kobe has clothelined or elbowed 3 players so far in high profile foul/supspenision cases. Those players are Jaric, Ginobili and Korver. All white players, 2 of which are European. I realize this is a topic no media would discuss. But is Kobe going after white players becausee he knows these guys won't retaliate? Kobe would not dare strike Artest or Ben wallace like that? He might pick on Ray Allen, but he does not count,lol. I have noticed over the many years that I have been a fan of the mostly black mans league that they frequently try to 'punk' the white players. To the white players defense they are usually little guys with no 'thugness' to them, hence they just take it. Any one else notice this trend?

So, you guys are in agreement? No one ever talks about it, but It has become pretty obvious.

Re: Is Kobe selectively picking white guys to cheap shot?
 

meh about the white players issue. im more concerned as to why everytime kobe gets near another player and shoots, he decides that the best way to go from there is to flail his arms into the other person's face...

You lack reading comprehension, it's because Kobe hates white people.

Re: Is Kobe selectively picking white guys to cheap shot?
 

No, I've seen him throw plenty of cheap shots at black guys too - I even saw him pop an Asian (Yao). He just does it when he gets frustrated, which seems to be frequently this season.

I'll give him a pass on Manu, because really who doesn't want to pop that guy in the face.

Re: Is Kobe selectively picking white guys to cheap shot?
 

It's just that the white guys are slow enough to get hit obv.

You would think Kobe would stop once he realizes he's under a microscope.

tks for the serious reply. i had a feeling this thread would not generate much serious conversation. maybe its just a coinidence then in Kobe's case. but i still think overall white players get alot of abuse from black players overall. just the other day i see Rip Hamilton shove a white defender from GS because he played some physical defense on him. Rip usually just whines and complains when a brother does the same to him, but when its a white guy he pushes him. i still firmly stand behind my argument.

Re: Is Kobe selectively picking white guys to cheap shot?
 

just a coincidence
one of the guests on 'rome is burning' brought it up yesterday in an odd manor

anyway, Kobe is just an immature person. He flails/cheap shots/etc when things aren't going his way.

It's a real shame too as he is my favorite player to watch for his bball skills

Anyway, I ran into Kobe recently at a KFC and overheard him berating a white employee. Take from that what you will.

yeah, kobe had problems with reggie miller too, so that is like one and a half black people he has had a confrontation with at least. and i think there was someone else too but i forget.

it's entirely possible that kobe is a racist. however he has been a thug towards people of all races on the court. what is more notable is that (correct me if i'm wrong plz) he's only been suspended for hitting white guys.

bell claimed that he retaliated, because kobe was throwing elbows at him, and trying to hit him in the genitals with his butt. (source )

anyways, no one remembers or takes bell seriously, so that's why i made the reference.

you are begging the question here. Does he know, or even think, that they won't retaliate? You are just making an assumption the he does, and using it as evidence.

That doesnt count. Kobe was just proving that sometimes people do stick their butts out into peoples genitials..I believe this was his defense in Colorado

I've played with guys who box out like this and it is really annoying. I think a clothesline seems appropiate here. Based on what we know about Kobe, we have to believe Bell, right?

Re: Is Kobe selectively picking white guys to cheap shot?
 

Not sure about his butt action, but Kobe hit Raja with a couple elbows before the clothesline

If 99% of white people hated me and booed me every time I touch the ball, despite being the best player in the world, I would elbow every honkey that gets close to me. [censored] white people.

Re: Is Kobe selectively picking white guys to cheap shot?
 

intersting you would mention this because on the afternoon sports talk radio show i listen to in the car, somebody called in and pretty much asked the same thing. the response? "yes, obviously kobe has a racist elbow." and then went on to joke "i don't believe it when you say you don't have a single prejudiced bone in your body!"
