How Come Kobe Does Not Get Any Calls?

[Cianothekid]

eli you suck ass

[StFuMoThErFuCkEr]

the nba ref r retarded. lebron tavels like od in the game nd no call, wtf.

[dragonforcerockhard]

Thank you Elie your fucking right.

[jw012]

dude..kobe gets a shit load of calls..he gets like 10-20 points just off the free throw line..

[HumanMediaPlayer]

actually its lebron who gets the most point from free throw lines.. kobe's actually way down there on the list..

[H0lyPh3n0m]

if you don't love kobe you hate him

He is probably the most hated player that ever played the game and one of the most loved

refs sometimes blow the whislte on him if you touch him but they sometimes wouln't blow it if you try to phisically hurt him.

it's the extreme's with kobe

he once had the most technical fouls called on him

but he is too great to put down

Lakers 2009 Nba Champions

[Texasbrousa]

Kobe not getting calls?? Haha what a joke. This guy needs a reality check

[sumalumah]

dahntay jones a straight bitch for tripping kobe. why would u physically hurt somebody in a game just bcuz they're better than you or can out play you?

[101alva]

lmfao... pee wee reporting lmao

[FhegMasher]

damn this guys talkin like he knows something about basketball cmon lee cmon

[fbcv1024]

is this guy from la? sheesh! boston accountant i guess.

[jkid24kb]

lmfao!

[whyhateonkobe]

i'm retarded for making a typing mistake..? haha, wow, even a kid would realize i meant "star". it's funny how you criticize someone who provides videos for you to watch; if you dont appreciate it, dont watch it. Or else just shut the fuck up =).

[whyhateonkobe]

i like how you criticize people, when i bet you'd shit your pants when someone tells you to post SOMETHING of yourself on youtube. If he's so bad, post a video of yourself interviewing a "start".

[ZANVITH2]

kobe is better then that other guy

[kamikazefita]

kobe is better than anbody

[chrisisverycoolio]

hes ugly

[BZOE]

why do u care how another man looks, sounds a little gay

[badboy4lyfe50]

this guy is a obvious laker fan boy. how did kobe's ass taste spic.

[pat4887]

kobe is over rated

[system331]

dude... im sorry but he is not over rated He has done just about everything there is.

[nba92k]

lol!!!!!!!!!!!

[peoplegettingbusted]

dood stfu u don't even no wot u talking about.

[QuayshonWhitaker]

REPORTING...

[travitofajitas]

repooorting

[youngsicily21]

man shut yo non-talking dumb ass up . stupid ass he get evrything including the rings . dummy

[geekhater360]

elie seckbach reporting. LMFAO that sounds so fucking funny. REPORTING. hilarious.

[JeffHardy642]

I thought this video was really about someone NOT calling Kobe LITERALLY. :3 ANYWAY, yeah other teams DO play dirty against the Lakers. ='( Lakers are the NBA Champions though so no worries be happy!!! *watches SpongeBob :3* Yes I know I am random!!!

[6academic6]

why would someone want kobe to be supported by the referees when he's supported by stern himself,and did you see how many times he "accidentally" pushed Artest and how he kicked Shane Battier while he was on the floor?

[JeffHardy642]

Er, excuse meh BUT Who tripped Kobe on purpose when he had the ball? *rolls eyes8 OMFG!

[Cowboy2455]

koby is jerk but a great player not cheap player.

[Nickyup16]

He may not have got all the calls like the other stars, but they won anyway. GO GO Phil Jackson! haha he did a good job, and fisher hit those gaint 3's.

[jiujitsujedi]

Le ESpnNBaAbcTNT Bron James was being walked by the hand of David "still traped in time loving Jordan" Stern to the best record in the league for home court advantage and they still failed to get him to the Finals.THEY ******* tried though,he was getting PHANTOM CALLS all over his team can hack like no one else and you cant breath on them cause wistle time!!..Howard was in foul trouble all of that cav vs Magic srs and against the Lakers he was getting away with murder analize that!

[mrlaocean]

Well, coming from a Laker fan..

Honestly, he got calls pre-rape case. After that, it all went downhill. Lights headed on Lebron. Pretty simple.

But after winning this championship, and Kobe being put back as the face of the NBA again, he may get calls back next season. Lebron diminished that by not showing sportsmanship.

Just my opinion.

[member00]

I agree, it all seems like a cheap way to bring Kobe down to normal player levels.

[doughboy8907]

they dont give kobe calls cuz he gets away wit elbows all the time i guess its a good tradeoff lol

[azemat53]

o shutup ur an idiot

[freelancepimp]

Kobe is going through what Hakeem went through. If Kobe got all his calls he would score 81 every night. Another point, Kobe has so many haters that the NBA actually gets more buzz when he loses so he gets no love from the league and the refs. Kobe is the Anti-Jordan.

[wtan903]

dude i like your news and reporting but your such a big bitch for putting big time on all your videos just becuz a few ppl called u that

[JODYJOE]

wow this guys is a really bandwagner

[thegov08]

this video is a joke. Why doesn't kobe get calls??? He always gets calls, see game 2 of the finals. see every other game kobe has played in.

[bubblesnuggles]

If his style not working this year, then why the hell are they in the finals? And why were they able to go to the finals 6 times? There is a reason why Phil Jackson is coaching, and why you're looking for something to talk about or report on.

[jumpman3210]

You forgot WADE, Elie!

[rachipistol12]

dude

kobe does get calls but kobe also initiates a lot of contact, they wont just give kobe a foul for being a star...

[PDS12]

HOW DO U LIKE A 40 PT CLOSE OUT?

[rigonanfm]

phil jackson's triangle offense is the best of all time

it is the player who makes mistakes not the coach

that is my opinion

[BettaWithToast]

its not that they were makin mistakes they just werent hittin shots and not playin d and fisher and sasha isnt playin good but their takin up all of browns and farmars minutes...but they will win anyway so o well

[DANDANPARKPARK]

get over it? dahntay jones is a dirty player. he pushed kobe on one play and blatantly tripped him on another, both plays weren't called the way they should've been during the game. that's reason enough for commenting on the poor officiating this post-season. the officials need to be consistent. either let'em play or call it often, but call is consistently.

[Twain2007]

Wahh get over it. The Denver Thuggets have done this all season.

Im a Mavs fan and when the Mavs werent getting calls against the Thuggets the Lakers fans hated on the Mavs

[kasttt]

OH please! Yeah when the Mavs were playing the Nuggets, Dirk Nowitzki was getting hammered. and I mean hammered by martin, birda\man, nene, and all the defenders they would throw at him. Of course he still managed to score 30+ points, but no one said anything. NOw the same thing happens with Kobe and half the country is whining! Face it, yes the Nuggets are physical, you can even say 'dirty', but they are better than the Lakers and that's why they'll win this series...

[supra925]

so did the nuggets win? lol

[hedatdada]

Your expertise has been shown not to exist.

[kasttt]

The Lakers did something unexpected, they ran a lot of, if not most of, their offense through their big men. When they do that, they;re the best team in basketball. Still, my point was that people were just now complaining about the calls, when this has been going on since the day the playoffs started, we saw with Dirk.

[hercu278]

your theory is wrong ;)

[GoGoGomy]

Man I want the Magic to win so badly if only to get the NBA off Lebron's ass.

[ballergamedown]

kobe gets no calls......because he is no longer the poster boy for the nba, the sporting world has jumped on the lebron bandwagon. They pick a year for a superstar that they THINK will lead its team to a championship. This year they won't lebron a few yrs back they wanted dwade when he got every single call known to man.

[GAME50OVER]

the cavs is also not playing as a unit.

wake up cavs! MVP!

[therkingofkings999]

Elie, Lebron deserved the mvp this year man. ima a kobe fan but i have to give it to Lebron

[xleet21]

there is no bias so stop complaining

IN GAME 2, JR SMITH cheated, you guys dont remember the jump ball, he ran ahead before they even jumped...

i also believe he pushed trevor ariza down causing the turn over but yet no foul call?

Like tonight's game, that buzzer layup that lebron took shouldnt of been a foul, dwight got all ball, but yet they call a foul. How bout this NBA, lay off Lebron's sac

[luethboy]

Lamar Odoms foot was across the line from the beginning, he was the original lane violater

[tcon12345]

the lakers are not losing because of the refs or kobe they are losing because fisher sucks and phil has killed bynum's confidence and hardly plays him. seriously fisher is not even close to as good as farmar or shannon brown.

[ESNEWS]

wise words i agree

[simpleplan15]

you're right dude! f*** those people who don't call the right fouls!

[Amar87K]

im more upset about the dahntay jones push from the back in the road game the lakers won. kobe beat him to the cup, got up and jones pushed him with both hands in the back while kobe was in the air.. no talk about that play. a foul was called but that should have been a flagrant.

and im so sick of all these technicals being whistled on kobe and dwight howard. just ridiculous

[User1018828]

That's what I'm talking about. Who gives a shit about the flagrant now, it doesn't do anything? It's only a flagrant one when it should've been a two since clearly the trip was intentional. Also, Dwight Howard gets a technical for showing a little emotion after a dunk. What about J.R. Smith who taunts the LA players after every dunk in Game 4? No calls there. The Nuggets had their fair share of bad calls as well. The NBA officials are full of shit. I might not be able to watch next season.

[thegreatcrates]

Hey ESNEWS:I'm a Laker fan.But I gotta,Kobe gets ALOT of bullshit calls in his favor.U can hardly breathe his way without gettin a foul.

[dnazario32]

i agree also..and we're giving walton too many mins.. but he did play real well in game 1 but still i trust odom or ariza more

[kobexxballer]

hahah you have a wii senor bar on top of your tv!

[an8151970]

Yeah really that push in game 3 deserved a call...no one disrespects Kobe

[dnazario32]

dwade gets EVERY CALL.. but n e way.. Lakers need to feed the post early and get off to a good start... Rebounding is why the lakers lost game 4.. gotta box out. and stop fouling.. can sum1 plz tell me why luke walton plays? We gotta get odom involved cuz he's a rhythem player... and fishers time may be up as much as that hurts to say. I'm sure Lakers play very well tonight at home in a very important game...

[tghetto5]

You must be writting from the future if you think the Lakers play tonight lol.

[DjKartel5]

Seckbach!!

Your right on the phil jackson part.He's lost his touch

But the Kobe getting no calls? did you see game 4? Kobe was getting all the calls.He always does get calls.He averages lot of free throw attempts as well.The one call he didn't get was the trip by Jones.Kobe shouldnt have won mvp anyways!

did they have the best record?

no!

did he get better stats than lebron?

no!

there is no way kobe should have got M.V.P.!

[Ko8e8]

stats dont mean everything. i believe devean george has 3 rings, had a better record than barkley and stockton, but that doesnt make him better.

robert horry didnt have great stats, but he was vital to winning many championships for the teams he played for.

[selam57]

I just dont understand how one minute its "playoffs basketball so no easy call" the other nope we dont want things to get out of hand and so there is your ticky tack fouls ? Its RIDICULOUS!

I think they truly have something against kobe...i am not kidding.....I am 1000% sure they would give those calls to their golden boy"bron" or Dwhistle but kobe na....

did you see those three quick fouls on luke at the third quarter i mean it was pathetic...

[DEZZY2425]

I think the guy that messed this game up for us is Lamer Odom like u said not playing well at all and them not getting rebounds and let's not forget about the big word with the Lakers and they can not seem to understand how to well and that's: DEFENSE

[hasbun3]

and fisher is playing like garbage

[DEZZY2425]

I agree this is not good for us they need to step up

[iliveincoto]

Lakers need more ball movement. As much as I love Odom, I'm tired of seeing him trying to drive to the basket only to be denied.

And how many times does Chris Andersen have to block LA's guards before they realize driving on him doesn't work?

But above all, LA's big men need to JUMP to get rebounds, not just watch the ball and try to touch it. I can't tell you how many times they just punched the ball up in the air only to have the Nuggets catch it.

LA keeps making the same mistakes.

[igromov]

You are trying to find reasons as to why they are suffering. They aren't, Nuggets are just a better team now. The aggressor wins and Nuggets are doing just that. They are hustling, defending and playing team ball. Sure, Lakers may have better individual talent, their bench is non existent now though. Point being, Nuggets play Physical and can knock 3's down. Nobody on the LA side wants this much contact. They are simply getting out hustled, nothing else to it.

[Ko8e8]

you base that off game 4 only.

[igromov]

No, not really. Each and every game the Lakers were only on par with the Nuggets. I expected the Nuggets to be the underdogs here, where in reality, it is the LA trying to stay close. Each and every game Kobe had to have an amazing night in order to give his team a chance. Sure, Melo played well too, but look at the rest of the team. Nuggets have had everybody step up and knock shots down. Where's Kobe's support? You have Gasol and sometime Andrew, nobody else is doing anything.

[Vicok2]

Denver looks more attractive to me, hope they will win lakers and nba final then.

[thomaslenior]

Denver Nuggets all the way

[JoEjOhSoN2fAn]

i like to La Lakers give Jordan Farmar a chance as starting PG.

Bynum does need more minutes like his season stats were 25mins and he gets 14pts 8 rebs (in the same team as Pau and Odom) and almost 2 blocks a game.

I would put Ariza on the bench against Denver to be honest cause Odom will make it diificult for Anthony because of his height and great deffence.

[AtlantaGa24]

but odom wouldnt be able to keep up wit melo, carmelo is too quick phil jackson is right with starting ariza cuz odom brings a big presence off da bench(we he shows up and plays) but he is playing soft right now so is bynum ariza is doing good cuz in game1 n game3 he had 2 key steals and in game 3 he hit 2 key threes

[maxamillion1011]

Hey seckbach stop trying to coach the Lakers!!!!!!!! Do your little reports and stop trying to coach

[ESNEWS]

well if this is phils's best - the lakers are in trouble. he is being, out coached, out done, schooled, circusised (i know it's not a word) but team are making a circus due to his calls.

[youngtm4c0519]

i agree they need to start jordan farmall u r right phill is not at his best he needs to stop trippen an do something lakers do have the best roaster but they are not showing it

[ESNEWS]

look at the Houston series, look at the games vs. denver. all jokes a side. dont the lakers have the best roster in the league? why are they having a tough time, if you ask me it starts from the coach down...

[maxamillion1011]

Hey seckbach your blaming the officials now? and the coach............Maybe there is more things going on behind close doors! The Lakers are playing to much one on one Basketball...... I blame Kobe......Not the coach..

[ESNEWS]

hahahaha without kobe lakers don;t win 4 games all year he took down the jazz, took down the rockets and has scored 30's and 40's vs. denver

[ginourcia]

Indeed, indeed.

[iliveincoto]

How do you blame Kobe? He has done everything he needs to do. Basketball is a team sport, and the rest of the team isn't pulling their weight.

I won't blame the officiating for LA's loss last night, but that doesn't change the fact that it was terrible. Officials need to make calls consistently and on both teams. Denver got away with a lot, especially Dante Jones. Plus, the officials allowed the game to be very physical in the beginning, but changed everything towards the end.

[JRjgs]

yea i totally agree with you Elie, hey you should do an interview to JR Smith on what he thinks of LA and his players

[iammudkipz]

elie, you should've seen the mavericks series with denver. every night dirk would get beaten up like a rag doll and there would be no calls. he was even elbowed in the face a couple of times with no call. everyone i know chalked it up to officials gambling on games again.

[RBGdUP]

Elie you keep knocking Fisher, but he's not the problem, Andrew Bynum is the problem. He needs some pep in his step

[ESNEWS]

even stevie wonder can see fish is playing poorly. As for bynum he needs minutes he'll be okay.

[RBGdUP]

Fish is playing poorly but their isn't much chemistry at the 1 spot. Its Fish, then Farmar, then Shannon. None of them can get in any rhythmn. I want Fish's leadership on the floor though. IMO Shannon disrupts our chemistry. He's talented, very talented, but he'd be better for another team.

[ESNEWS]

it all starts from coaching - pj is being schooled big time hard to believe he has 9 rings.

[maxamillion1011]

Hey arent you a Shaq fan? why you so in Love with Kobe? yes he is a great player but he has to get his team going! Let me think about this for a second.....Go with the coach that has 9 NBA rings..... or Seckback who does cute little sports clips??? Sorry elie.....your out.....

[Ko8e8]

9 NBA rings because he had the greatest players of all time.

doc rivers had losing season after losing season. garnett and allen come in, he wins a title.

[RBGdUP]

they just looked stale very very stale

[A4Lito]

Denver have been playing there kind of basketball, lakers aren't playing the way the usually do, it's cause theyve met a team with just as much skill. They had an "easy" trip to the conference finals or so they thought I mean come on 7 games against houston.Lakers don't deserve the championship as does kobe didnt deserve the MVP this year, Ellie I know you love your Lakers and Kobe but dont let emotions get in the way of the game, Denver are just a more hard working team and they want it more

[nets1fan102290]

Maybe the lakers arent good enough? Ever think of that

[ESNEWS]

maybe

[kindtyrant84]

Are the Net's in the playoffs?

[lactoseintolerantcow]

.....

[nets1fan102290]

what does that have to do with anything, I'm talking about this series and its obvious the nuggets are better then the lakers. The nuggets can easily be up 3-1

[Ko8e8]

... the lakers should potentially be the one up 3-1. remember the no call at the end of game 2? that was a HUGE possession.

considering all the games were very close except for game 4, i dont see how its "obvious" the nuggets are better.

[hitmancoolio]

It's the other officials in the other games that are making bad calls, not the ones officiating the Lakers.

[luethboy]

Come on Elie, i used to like your news, but if you are just gonna be biased and lobby for Kobe. You are not that great of a reporter. Denver clearly won this game fair and square. Dont complain about the refs. If you are gonna report on this game and about Kobe's calls. Why don't you even it up and report on Anthony's and J.R. Smith's un warranted techs. The only foul that was ridiculous was Dahn. Jones tripping of Kobe. That was extremely unfair. You're a good reporter, don't be biased.

[ESNEWS]

i agree the lakers were out played on every play 58 to 40 bounds shows that

[js83]

He's not being biased, he's just speaking the facts...wtf are you complaining about?

[yosoyjosue]

Yo Jordan never got beaten up by the Bad Boys Pistons???! Elie, quit cryin' for Kobe. I'm with ya, he should get those calls, but there's no league-wide plan to get the guy! Oh and Dahntay Jones should get punished for the trip - wit a clock to the jaw from Jack Nicholson.

[cubicleBOB]

Cmon elie, that trip looked like his foot was just there and it really didn't look intentional until they showed the reverse angle replay. And that's just it, how can you say "6 eyes and replay" Yo Elie, the refs DON'T HAVE REPLAY

[AtlantaGa24]

wut are u talkin bout the refs do have replay look it up before u say false shit

[cubicleBOB]

only in specific situations where a 3 shot is in question which will be reviewed at the next dead ball, of course when there is a last second shot at to confirm it was good or not, and to see if a flagrant foul is a flagrant 1 or 2.

They can't just stop play and go over to the table and see if there was A foul. Are you kidding me?

[AtlantaGa24]

like i say dey can replay if it was a flargrant foul when dantey jones tripped kobe. cuz that trip culd have been questioned as a flagrent so dey can review dat

[cubicleBOB]

No Dummy, If there is no INITIAL foul call, they CANNOT think to themselves about 10 seconds later "hmmm I think there may have been a foul on that play, maybe even a flagrant, I better blow the whistle dead to go review that play 10 seconds ago where nothing was initially called at all"

THEY CANNOT DO THAT YOU JUGGLER OF YOU KNOW WHAT

[AtlantaGa24]

dawg dey have done it b4 a coach can argue a call and during a timeout and end of quarter and if the officials feel dey missed da call dey can go bac n review it now u go juggle balls u dick

[cubicleBOB]

coaches arguing a call and in a timeout changing it not unless it followed the guidelines i provided.

If you are trying to tell me that a coach just argued something and it was totally changed w/o an initial foul call, EVEN YOU KNOW THAT IS BULL YOU JUGGLE MASTER

Officials chaning something based on a coach arguing GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE

[AtlantaGa24]

ok wuteva fuck it idc anymore u right my bad

[cubicleBOB]

Ata boy, it takes a broad minded individual to say what you said, if more ppl were like you the world would orbit a lot more smoothly.

[AtlantaGa24]

oh yea dey went bac gave dantey jones a flagerent foul for dat trip

[cubicleBOB]

the "dey" you're speaking of are NOT the referees, "dey" league officials like commissioner David Stern and VP Stu Jackson who reviewed it NOT the referees, and that was all done AFTER the game anyway

[AtlantaGa24]

I know all that I just wanted to let you know if you already did'nt. But why you gotta be a jackass , dont try to play me for my intelligents, "dey"=they i just type it like dat cuz its quick n easy like when ppl say you dey use the letter "U" im not writting a english paper its a damn comment on youtube so fuck off u cunt

[cubicleBOB]

That's what you do when you QUOTE something, you have to take it exactly or else it's not a quote, I had to clear up what you had said so i had to QUOTE you, I didn't make fun of you typing "dey". And I won't even touch that "intelligents" part becuase that is not a conscious mistake there buddy

[AtlantaGa24]

dawg fuck u intelligence there u happy dis is my last time goin bac in fourth wit u cuz its a waste of my time fuckin smart ass go suck a dick

[cubicleBOB]

very happy, good day

[AtlantaGa24]

I know I said I was not going to comment again, but I had to, you are a true JACKASS who has no life and sits on youtube and corrects peoples grammar, You are a true BITCH and I hope you get your ass kick(now im done)

[cubicleBOB]

i wasn't trying to correct anyone's grammar, you just got all defensive when I quoted you, it was your own insecurity that made you think I was critiquing your grammar. Whatever, this is lame now, the conversation has drifted into something completely different now, I'm done,

Don't do anything I wouldn't do

[cubicleBOB]

OH MY you still don't get it, you poor poor thing, it must be very difficult for you to operate the very keyboard in which you "type" on.

PLAY IN QUESTION: No Initial Foul

IF THERE WAS NO INITIAL FOUL CALLED

IF THERE WAS NO INITIAL FOUL CALLED

IF THERE WAS NO INITIAL FOUL CALLED

IF THERE WAS NO INITIAL FOUL CALLED

IF THERE WAS NO INITIAL FOUL CALLED

IF THERE WAS NO INITIAL FOUL CALLED

They can NOT go back and review it, YOU HAVE LOST YOU HAVE NO ARGUMENT YOU KEEP REPEATING THE SAME FALSITIY

[AtlantaGa24]

dawg i said u right my bad damn wut u keep goin on 4 stop bitchin my bad damn

[daryllosis27]

elie seckbach = LA HOMER!!!!!!

[cubicleBOB]

elie seckbach = different reporter

[EEpong]

GO DENVER!!! DENVER IN 7!

[Creeveyable]

lakers in 6 or 7

[BLU3BLAZ3]

nah D Nuggs in 6.

[ESNEWS]

0-0 first team to win 2 goes on

[chicagoballer615]

I' m with you man, vujachic and fisher really have to step it up. Also, Odom has really been struggling. It seems he like he can't get rebounds anymore. so far, the playoffs have been like a roller coaster for the lakers, and the only two players playing 100 percent are Kobe and Pau.

[jmiiiiike]

its his opinion idiot

[thekobebryantchannel]

now its our turn

we will try to get those nuggets back good in game 5 and hopefully lakers will close out in game 6.

refs need to consistent with their calls. the game ended in a free throw contest tonight. we will see how it plays out in game 5

[telj1]

it's ok as long as Phil changes up when it's needed! I hope he doesn't get out coached!

[csikkmusic]

Lamar needs to wake up! Fisher needs to go fish for his jumper. LA in 6 or 7...

[sargerpd]

elie seckbach i love your videos and i agree with you on the stuff you say here, keep it up

Fans are also disrepecting him, chanting "Kobe Sucks" But little do the Fans know that Kobe feeds off negativity!

[josephkimusic]

such a frustrating game! argh!
