Kobe Jumper over Shane Battier + Technical for Taunting vs.Rockets ['09 PO's]

[ltcrtw1]

guys i know why it was a tech..... joey crawford was reffing

[merchantmanm]

NICE SHOOT

[skaloon]

this is retarded. technical for tauting? what is this - kindergarten?

[aaronzalman]

as much as kobe is a little bitch, 6969Ray6969 sounds like a fucking pussy

[mageuup5]

@aaronzalman lmfaooooo!@!@#!@#!@#

[iSmokePurps31]

I'm sorry Kobe your not Super Hero. You can be stopped and you been stopped so i don't know what people talk shit when they do well. I like players who walk to walk but not talk to talk

[rjaykyo03]

it's the playoffs what do you expect

[k1ller2one]

only 2 points in the game

[bballer293]

@k1ller2one youre fuckin retarded

[Eric1DRose1]

joey crawford is a clown... MJ does that all the time back in the 90's.. just imagine how many technical that MJ would get o.O

[KB24isClutcherThanMJ]

You can't even do the classical "MJ Finger wave" Without getting a tech. lmao Like Shaq said " We can't even play the game without the Officials Trying to take over THE FUCKING GAME!!" , " You wondering why the leagues losing money, That's Why!!!, People Pay good money to come see us play!!!. "Shaq, were on Live" Shaq: " I dont give a SHIT!!". LOL Shaq is right.

[prospect42191]

The No Balls Association..shit, a guy can even taunt anymore? WTF?

[KD35Russell0]

The NBA- where telling the truth=a technical happens.

[dilan4me]

shane battier personality is awesome  but kobe is cocky

[RSTM23]

Hate to say it, but Kobe sucks here. This is Jordan's phrase!

[KobeConfidence]

Why did he get a technical for taunting? Talking is part of the game.

[Ant8182ify]

LOL WOW..DATS WAT U SUPPOSED2 DO..MAKE FUN OF DA DUDE WHO CANT HOLD U

[epiphany99]

Joey Crawford hates Kobe, period. He takes any opportunity to T up Kobe he can get.

[voulgier]

Battier is not really out to limit the points Kobe scores. In truth, Kobe could score 50 but Battier's defensive goal is to limit his efficiency. So Kobe scores 50, but it would take him many, many, many attempts to get to that point. To the point, where that 50 points becomes a detriment to the Lakers.

[JOSEBELJOR]

REALLY?but kevin garnett can cuss up a storm and no technical RIGHT? WTF!!

[zzomgitsme]

someone mentioned in a different video that shane battier said he could guard kobe. kobe being kobe, took it to heart and proved him wrong. kobe's not being super arrogant, he's making a point to shane battier.

honestly though, shane battier is one of the few defenders who actually made kobe work for his points.

[wildnoutlr]

Did he really just get a T for talking shit. Its part of the game!!! Smhhhh NBA has gotten soft on us.

[StealtherNub]

@wildnoutlr wellllllll...it was joey crawford who made the call

[xYouthAttackx]

ah what is up with you guys! yeah i hate trash talkers too but kobe backs it up! MJ was a big time trash talker yet no one brings him up. I say its fair game if any player backs it up and has accomplished stuff i.e. championship, mvp, all star, etc

[hmwillow]

@xYouthAttackx No one brings up MJ, cus MJ only trashed talked to loud-mouthes. MJ didn't talk trash to defenders like Joe Dumars (players with class). Kobe's got no class obviously talking trash to humble guys like Battier.

[QuincyAD87]

@hmwillow MJ only trash talked to loudmouthers? That's the buiggest load of shit i ever heard. I watched MJ actually play back in 93 against the Hornets in Charlotte. He one was one he biggest trash talkers of them all. Typical youtube MJ fan. Don't come in here talking about how classy MJ was. He was legendary for telling others they couldn't guard him. What Kobe said to Battier would've been fine bck in the 80's & 90's. Now we got soft NBA refs & even softer fans crying about it. Sad!!!

[hmwillow]

@QuincyAD87 Did you read my comment properly you dumbass? Did MJ trash talk to classy players like Joe Dumars (one of the most effective defender against MJ)? Idiot. You fail. Go swallow Kobe's cum.

[QuincyAD87]

@hmwillow I don't swallow anyone's cum faggot. Clearly you do. MJ was the biggest trash talker on the planet. It's not a secret. He was legendary for telling ppl he couldn't be guarded. If you didn't know that then i doubt you even watched the game back then. Bring up whoever you want but i bet any money you weren't around then. You a youtube fan at best

[QuincyAD87]

@hmwillow Joe Dumars was never a "Classy Player". Your a moron.

[hmwillow]

@QuincyAD87 Are you an idiot? Do you know shit about bball? Joe Dumars the first recipient of the NBA Sportsmanship Award, and the trophy itself is named the 'Joe Dumars Trophy', and Dumars was never a classy player?? What a douchebag hahaha the conversation ends right there, you obviously don't know shit. Fail of the month.

[QuincyAD87]

@hmwillow What so because Jordan never trash talked Joe Dumars that made him classy? Go back to bed you sloppy faggot. Your a youtube Jordan fan chump. Convo over!!!

[hmwillow]

@QuincyAD87 lol oh ok, so you are now changing the subject lol what a sore loser. FAIL.

[QuincyAD87]

@hmwillow Your mother's a fail. I changed the subject cause i'm right & your below me. Back to bed now!!!

[hmwillow]

@QuincyAD87 hahaha look at yourself, do you even know what you are talking about? hahahahaha what a loser. another FAIL.

[QuincyAD87]

@hmwillow your a fail for not choking on your jew moms umbillical cord. Your bed is waiting!!!

[hmwillow]

@QuincyAD87 nice, you are a very classy guy. very classy. clap clap. FAIL! lol what a loser.

[xkEvln]

he says "you cant guard me" because one of the game battier kept putting his hands in his face and misses almost the entire game and end the game to a rockets win. This game shows that Battier cant guard KOBE and proves that hand in the face wont work on him anymore

[guitarsANDcars39]

sry but i hate trashtalkers, even if they have skills. it just taints the game i love.

[raza1691]

i cant blame kobe if he does something like this, it's the playoffs and when you understand the game its gonna get you to a different level, it'll get more physical, more intense so gotta put yourself in that level too.... this aint a tech for me, it aint even trashtalk...

[gabogski]

@raza1691 I agree..it was the playoffs. C'mon..

I also respect Shane for his defense and for being able to stay calm.

[raza1691]

@gabogski yeah shane is one hell of a defender but what can you do when you get to defend Kobe..? lol...

[HPhenomenal]

crawford's an idiot

[mcMane24]

we all know Shane is a great guy but he is the so called kobe-stopper and kobe was unstoppable this game therefore permission granted and Jordan did the exact same thing with the you can't guard me and I love the swagger of both because I love the game (unlike the refs)

[dilan4me]

YOU CANT GUARD ME

BY KOBE BRYANT

[420KILO]

everyone talks shit in the games..its normal...but they respect each other...

[AdrianPetersonFan369]

Kobe is an arrogant ass. Shane has nothing but respect for him.

[TheArnoldBusk]

joey crawford sucks, i fucking hate him, he should quit his job as a nba ref and become garbageman instead

[57thKB24]

lol, you call that a tech? These refs are just so feminine of calling things like that, trash talking is just part of the game. It gives more excitement to the players. F*** the REFEREE calling things like that!

[shandler420]

That's a tech? I hate Joey Crawford

[IamHaddy]

that hand in the face thing is sooo overated

[Brad633]

@IamHaddy it's the most you can do without causing a foul....when it's too late to get a block

[SinistaMinista666]

so kobe pretty much got a tech for tellin' th truth...I wonder what he would've gotten had he lied lol

[JawnieMacBeezy]

How can yu not like Kobe here? ITS BASKETBALL! WE TALK TRASH PLAYIN BALL EVERYDAY! Its how the game goes

[LAsportsFan4ever]

@JawnieMacBeezy hell yeah!!! how fun will basketball be if we couldnt talk mess...its for the love of the game

[smilee666]

@JawnieMacBeezy yah your right... people here are stupids...

[aznxblaz3]

u get a technical for saying you cant guarge me in the NBA!?!?

WAT THE FRIGGIN A!!!!

[thug8200]

dats what shane gets for opening his mouth he said i can shut him down and dats y kobe was sayin shit then shane trys to play it off lmao

[RyomaFujiTezuka]

We all know no one can stop Kobe but I think he didn't had to say that shit..

[KmartNuggets1oo]

lol

[cantbestopped4247]

god i swear i think kobe's the best in the world but can be an ass on the court sometimes. and i like how whenever kobe was pullin shit and talkin trash to battier, he just kept playin and kept his cool. i respect shane for that. also he one of the nicest, most mature guys in the league so yea thts wat i think

[6969Ray6969]

As much as i am a Kobe fan, can't really like him here. Everyone knows you cant guard him but Shane is a humble guy and tries his best to shut kobe down and he does a pretty good job sometimes

[Spense626]

@6969Ray6969 couldn't agree more, Shane one of the most down to earth fellas in the NBA, and I got purple and gold flowin through my blood!

[amunrahII]

@Spense626 b4 this game shane said he could hold kobde thats y kobe did that

[amunrahII]

@6969Ray6969 b4 this game shane said he could hold kobe and so did the media thats y kobe did that the whole game

[peterdabest94]

@6969Ray6969 Um, no he's not. Shane said during that series that he CAN guard Kobe...so Kobe owned him and told him he can't guard him. Ain't nuthin wrong with that.

[ilPitproductions]

@6969Ray6969 thats normal competitiveness in sports. thats just that dumbfuck that is joey crawford always crying to take the spotlight

[michilios01]

@6969Ray6969 you know basketball can be a mental game kobe's just trying to get in his head, when u get in a guys head or make him mad, he usually becomes a bad player, except for jordan and kobe and other superstars

[HPhenomenal]

@6969Ray6969 wtf you're an idiot

[sshaxy]

@6969Ray6969 yea he does a great job... but kobe just hit a ridiculous shot that no one else he could make with a hand in ur face like that.... props to shane for having serious D... but why cant u like kobe for totally owning shane battier there

[ALLDAYCAL]

@6969Ray6969 trash talking is part of the game, its psychological warfare. even jordan talk trash, just to get in the heads of your opponents

[TUBESTEAKNIG]

@6969Ray6969 Mind games bro

[GAMCbrice]

@6969Ray6969 i get what you're saying but it was the issue that before this series battier was saying he could guard kobe. kobe is just responding talking trash right back to him

[GMPro24]

@6969Ray6969 huge kobe fan here and know what ur saying, shanes a great defender....heat of the moment thing i guess.

[fabrizio012]

@6969Ray6969 specially if ur winning. Respect the rival

[lolwtfisthisish]

@6969Ray6969 its just a psychological thing. kobe loves battier, hes just trying to get inside his head.

[tlawaw]

@6969Ray6969 Good point, but the whole taunting leads to a technical thing is stupid anyway. NBA is sucking the passion from the game. These are grown men here, just let them say what they want and be responsible for it.

[zcarlton]

@6969Ray6969 don't be a pussy

[MW2Addiction]

@6969Ray6969 I understand what you mean but you do know that before this game shane battier said that he is gonna stop kobe right? Thats the reason why Kobe was nodding his head and he was saying he cant guard me. They overhyped the fact that shane battier is a "Kobe-Stopper" before this game.

[bsjkompany]

@6969Ray6969 Is the game man... Kobe is playing psicology on Shane... is no matter that shane is a good guy... he was his rival on the court!!!!

[Gamer36asif]

That's right suck it Kobe!

[seandog619]

Can we get a Joey Crawford highlight reel please. this guy is just too damn good at his job. seriously tho id rather have Tim Donaghy ref my games

[TheMackdaddy007]

That's nothing. In the 90s people like Gary Payton and Charles Barkley would do even worse all game long. Its just part of the game. Thats why the league lost respect a long time ago.

[jlatinoheatv]

i hate that bald ass ref, he gives technical fouls for no reason, for example tim duncan lol

[Tikes16]

Haha Kobe Can't Help That He is So Good!. XD The Reff Doesn't Like Him Hahaha

[pwndawgyo]

Kobe gave himself the technical, and don't buy into the broadcasters crap, Kobe was talking trash the entire game and that last remark was what sealed the deal. He gets away with so many calls, you have to admit that. Give credit to battier for once again being a good role model

[amunrahII]

@pwndawgyo a role model bs dude b4 this game shane said he could hold kobe and so did the media thats y kobe did that the whole game

[pwndawgyo]

@amunrahII Shane says he can play defense on kobe, so its ok for kobe to taunt him the entire game?

Shane has won best sportsman in the NBA several times.

[amunrahII]

@pwndawgyo i could care less what he won. you never say i can hold this or that person just say i'm going to compete and do my best. his mouth wrote a check his d could not cash the end. it was like when mutombo said mj never dunked on him and was never going to next game mj dunked on him and wagged the finger. kobe just had to remind shane of his comment and to never ever repeat it.

[KobeConfidence]

@amunrahII Well it shouldn't be a technical for taunting any1 even if you look like an idiot saying that. It's all part of mind games. Just like trash talking. Shane Battiers admitted to hitting people on their head to make the offensive player think or worry about that happening. If anything that's worse.

[hiflysi]

Basketball is weakass now with that crap type of call. I'll never forget James Worthy knocking down a dagger three in front of the Suns bench in Phoenix as they were screaming and yelling at him...he turned, pointed at them and gave their shit right back to them....that would be a tech nowadays and it's bullshit.

[oldaardvark]

Jeez, is Crawford still in the league?

[mrzydrunas12]

"you cant guard me" hahahah

fucking kobe

[domski93]

fuck the ref

[ugotownedwithmyand1]

buddy wtf r u saying... kobe all the way...he may not be as good as MJ but kobe man KOBE!!mamba... idc wut kobe haters say but im KOBE too bad he ddnt get the MVP... i like lebron too kinda, alittle but KOBE

[AdrianJosephHaro]

ugotownedwithmyand1 U know wat ur saying finally sumone yeah Me 2 i agree of wat u said
