Ehhh..... I can't find it either. Thought it was maybe Brad Miller. Remember it as a white player and a hard elbow to Kobe's face or something. Not much later the other player was coming into the key from near FT line and Kobe knocked him on his a** with like an elbow to the throat. All I got. Maybe I dreamed it. Just got a kick though searching through youtube compilations of Kobe in fights / on court confrontations. Fierce competitor. Was it ever determined what the cameras didn't catch with him and Reggie Miller after that game ended that had them fighting and wrestling into the scorer's table?
^^ I could never figure out what caused that fight between he and Reggie. Whatever it happened to be was off camera. Kobe's gotten into it with Mike Miller, Chris Childs, Reggie, Matt Barnes, Raja Bell, Ron Artest and his teammate Samaki Walker. There may have been others but those are off the top of my head.
That's it ...."Mike" Miller not Brad. Like the cheap elbow to Kobe happened over on the left side of the key facing the basket, and then Kobe's response a minute or two later. Maybe because it wasn't a sustained, clip friendly "fight".
Kobe not happy with Miller's Elbow Haha that's an injection if Kobe gets caught doing that in today's sensitive NBA
"Haha that's an injection if Kobe gets caught doing that in today's sensitive NBA" LOLOL No worries ..... CA isn't executing anyone these days. And ....yesssss ..... my mind's like a steel trap!!
In today's NBA the player getting the elbow would act like he got shot. Roll around the floor for 10 mins. The player giving the elbow would have been ejected, fined and probably suspended.
Can we please institute a rule requiring trigger warnings before posting clips from the Mihm/Kwame/Smush era? Not everyone here can handle that sort of thing without having a few drinks first.
My patience with Clarkson is wearing thin.. He's plays way too much ISO ball. He's not 100% a chucker & makes some good energy/athleticism plays every now & then, but I just don't really care for his brand of Basketball.. Sucks too, 'cuz I was really high on him the last couple years.
He needs the ball to be effective, this year there's less of it to go around. He would excel in a 6th man role (without Lou here too). I do wish his shooting was better and his defense too.
