  • That looked like a WWE foul, top marks Jameer Nelson - he should have got an Oscar nomination for that.

  • You aren't supposed to play defense with your face. Unless Kobe clearly threw the elbow, the ref shouldn't call a foul.

    How else are you supposed to throw a pass? When I played pickup bball at UCLA men's gym, I had to do the same thing to get a pass off. Though the defender wasn't THAT close to me(so no contact).

    Its just a natural motion whenever a player makes a pass.

  • it was a foul......that wasn't a flop either

  • wasnt a foul

  • That wasn't a foul on either of them, it is a perfectly legal play for both kobe and jameer. Jameer was going to cover the pass, but kobe's elbow had other plans.

  • HOW IN THE HELL CAN ANY YOU SAY THAT WAS'NT A FOUL THAT WAS CLEARLY AN OFFENSIVE FOUL.

  • jameer is an idiot he ran to kobe's elbow lol Lakers all day

  • Freakin idiots... Kobe was lookin to pass it to fisher so he had to extend his elbow to pass it. Jameer just happened to run into Kobe's elbow while he was extending it. Refs would never even consider that a foul plus it was in the 4th qtr of the NBA FUCKING FINALS what do you expect?

  • if you type in "kobe elbow" on the youtube search bars, there's so many recommandations like kobe elbow sasha, nelson, nash, ginobili, artest, bibby, etc. #LOL

  • he's elbowed bibby in the nose, didnt get called for it, and went on to win the championship of that year. then he elbows jameer nelson, and ironically, doesnt get called, and they go on to win it again. BULLFUCKINSHIT!!!!! its like when an nba team goes up against them they go up against the lakers and the refs.

  • haha look at these kobe haters...i can understand..after all he beats your teams year after year after year.

  • @HPhenomenal LOOOOOOOOOL

  • how you gonna pass the ball with somone that close to you without elbowing them in the fuckin face hahaha

  • got to close, dont fuck with kobe

  • hahahaha...stop hating on Kobe...he beat your Magic team..get over it.

  • @orantes2202 no the Lakers beat the Magic...Kobe didn't do it all by him self

  • if nething, that would have probably been a defensive foul. the offensive player needs room to make his move.

  • Someone said that the guy who got elbowed wasn't moving... umm... he was moving the entire time. If he hadn't moved into Kobe's elbow... if he hadn't got so close to kobe that kobe couldn't turn around... then I'd agree.

  • They don't call the elbows when a guy runs into it like that. Kind of like if you run into a defensive player to get a foul and it doesn't get called.

  • jameer the queer is a pussy

  • it wasn't an intentional elbow to the face....he was just looking for the open man and nelson happen to get in front of his elbow like an idiot

  • um, Kobe didn't elbow Jameer. Jameer ran into Kobe's elbow.

  • Yes just like Mike Bibby when he was with the KINGS~!!!

  • @anthonyxpark classic retard sticking up 4 a rapest haha

  • @anthonyxpark it doesnt matter. that should have been called

  • @anthonyxpark that still makes it a foul smart one.

  • Honestly how dumb is Jameer Nelson? You double off a three point shooter who just busted your ass for 3 to send it to overtime (cause you played off him) to double Kobe on the block. Dude deserved the elbow for doubling that hard. LMAO at his teammates paying no attention to him on the floor!!

  • hhahahah who cares its nelson just shut up and suck it upp !!! cry babies haha

  • One more thing Nelson looked like an ass laying on the floor while Derek took care of business. Coach Van Gundy stupides coach ever behink Brown from the Cavs letting Nelson play and breaking up the chemistry the Magic had what an idiot. I've seen players get hit harder and not budge. The Magic lost because they tried to cheat and even if the Magic would of won game 4 the Lakers won game 5 and they would of won game 6 at home. Seeing the Magic play was like me playing against my little sister!

  • The magic didn't cheat. And if Kobe got elbowed you know the refs would have called it. Also, seeing the magic was like watching you play your little sister. And you've been in the NBA how long.

  • They tried to cheat. I have never seen Kobe fall like that when getting hit unless they take him down like Raja Bell did. And as for you watching me and my little sis I guess I was the Lakers and the Magic was you know who. I have been watching basketball since I was 7 years old so you do the math, I am 34 years old. I think I know when someone flops and Nelson did a terrible job at it. Not even his teammates payed attention to him. Instead of fooling around he should of been guarding Fisher.

  • Wow 34 years old. looks like your minds fading in your... ahem... old age. my moms older than you and shes not that blind. kobe elbowed him in the face. he even looked at him before he did it. if you can prove to me that he didn't elbow him then i'll have to believe you won't I. It's too bad you can't.

  • Wow 17 and can't read. I never said Kobe didn't elbow him. What I said is that Nelson flopped. You can get hit but that doens't mean you have to stage a show like Nelson. When a game is on the line you can't take chances that the refs are going to call it your way. When Nelson fell all his teammates and Magic fans were looking at Fisher with their mouths open.

    Maybe Nelson is 17, not enough experience.

  • And did you notice when Nelson fell he lifted his head just to see if Fishers shot was going to fall in and when it did he went back down again. It was like if Fishers shot was the dagger that finished him off. I am sorry this is just too funny for me.

  • he saw jammer nelson coming and turned to throw the ball out before he came, at the end of the day...nelson ran into his elbow, now i'd understand if nelson was there standing next to him and kobe turned, it was all in the motion

  • Oh he ran into his elbow. wow why didn't i think of that.... oh yeah i know why, because i know nobody is that stupid. Plus kobe turns and looks at him before he elbows him in the face.

  • are u hearing me?...yes it was all in the motion, if ur running forward and u see ur fav ice cream truck to the left of u...is ur body gonna stop moving in the motion that it was going suddenly? Watch the video..thats what happened, i didn't mean kobe had his elbow out and he ran into it...cuz no1 is that stupid, it was all in the motion as u said, when will u guys get over it...it was noone's fault (other than probably nelson for leaving the same guy that forced overtime open)

  • I was over it. im not the one who keeps bringing it up. if i do recall you responded to a comment i wrote a while back. Can u let me move on from this argument? Jeez!!

  • lol what are u talking about me responding to a comment u wrote a while back? u must have me mistaken with someone else...anywayz..no1 is forcing u to respond, i made my point...u didn't follow it up so its obvious that i got my point across

  • Yes the first comment you responded to was 4 months ago. and when you have a life thats a very long time. and btw you have no point. Im not gonna change my mind. I hate when people get away with cheating. and even if you were right, which your not, it doesn't change the fact that kobe gets away with cheating all the time.and to everyone wgo thinks kobe is the next jordan, KObe is not jordan. Its not just about talent, which I admit Kobe has, its about Attitude. and he has a nasty one.

  • i don't understand it, if u don ur research, mj had a bad attitude as well, perhaps even worse than kobe, but see the thing is..because mj is mj, he either never a bad bug in him or its ok because of who he is

  • bzoe is dumb, know one just runs into elbows. kobe did the same shit to raja bell and got away it like the dirty person he is

  • lol ok dude, kobe saw him coming and intentionally elbowed him, if that makes sense to u then fine, what i'm saying is that kobe went into the motion and jameer came at the last second but believe what u want, and yes people do run into elbows in the nba, i'm guessing u didn't watch basketball especially in the 80's and early 90's

  • kobe gets away with so much shit its rediculous, but all im saying is there should have been a foul there. like with every hard elbow in the league

  • i actually did a video on that in which i was stating that the refs swallowed their whistle because they were afraid to make a call, my problem with that is that the refs are very rarely consistent

  • kobe has a bad rep 4 elbowing people its his nature look it up he also wacked ginobili and others and those werent runing into elbows he even football tackle pau gasol in an international game kobe is dirty

  • i know about that but if u watch every last one of them none of them were intentional nor looked intentional...the same way how karl malone had a rep for swing his elbows on his rebounds...and people actually got hurt from him doing that...what he's a dirty player too?

  • Nelson biggest flop ever. When Kobe hits him he doesn't know which way to turn. First he turns right then he grabs his chin with his right hand and turns left.

  • dude... this is the second three pointer. the first three pointer to tie for OT was already done at this point. were you even watching this game?

  • wow just wow this is the NBA!! and what did you guys really expect?! they were actually gonna call a foul on Kobe?! yea right...

  • I think a huge reason the Magic lost this game is because of this no-call foul on Kobe. That three pointer is what ended the game in OT. After that, the Magic were done. If that foul would have been called, the series could have been 2-2.

  • Who Cares? The series and season is over. Nothing can be done. That elbow didn't win or lose that series.

  • ARE U STUPID? IF they called the foul , the lakers were in the penalty, what happens when a team is in the penalty? THEY SHOOT FREE THROWS

  • Again, learn the rules. Penalty or no penalty, an offensive foul only results into a turnover. Only defensive personal fouls, or loose ball fouls results into free throws even while in the penalty. The penalty is the bonus free throw after the first. It has nothing to do with an offensive foul. Your lack of basketball knowledge is really on full display here, Buddy.

  • Wow, you really need to learn your basketball.

  • why u say

  • You think an offensive foul results in the other team shooting free throws.

  • they were in the penalty , orlando would have shot free throws look it up..

  • Accident, even maybe half-flop. Nelson's bad defence, leaving fish alone

  • haha it's the same concept. or r u suggesting once u go out of bounds u have to stay there forever? wtf?

    there was no evidence from donahgy. you would think if u were doing something like that u would cover ur ass with a taped conversation or something but alas, he had nothing.

    all you have is "aw man that looked like the refs gave it away!" which is complete bullshit. dude just check out sasquatch and lochness monster videos from now on since ur into that kinda thing.

  • i dont even know why everybody actn like magic sucks becuz on some real shit....lakers wouldnt have win if it wasn't for all that overtime. the games were all overcome by fouls and shit. trust this win was jus last minute shit. kobe aint all that. lakers aint all that cuz we were on they ass.

  • haha the haters are such queers! kobe tries to reverse pivot, one of his innumerable skills, to try and see if anybody is open near the basket and catches fisher out of the corner of his eye while nelson is trying to count his heartbeats. this is hilarious! where is the video of dahntay jones tripping and shoving kobe? or pietrus smacking the hell outta kobe's arm! fuck the haters. kobe = GOAT.

  • whatevea dude, all the lakers titles are tainted.. the lakers games always come down to a last second no call in favor of LA. gaso goaltended, Ariza foot was out of bounds right b4 kobe elbowed nelson.. look at the "greatest tragedy in Sports" and they show how the refs cheated the kings.. Kobe is the most overrated player in the game.. he shoots shitty percentages and gets a way with murder.. it took Garnett to get hurt, Yao to get hurt and the refs for Kobe to win a champion ship

  • haha dude stand outside yourself for a second and judge what your saying objectively! basically ur like those ppl who believe in space aliens. all you people have is "it was tainted" blah blah. ever think it's not really a conspiracy but LA is just that good?

    kobe is overrated yet his team wins it all and he's finals MVP. look up overrated. when he shoots a bad percentage, it's cuz he's gettin hammered on offense. if we were really bein fair we would just call a foul every time he touched it

  • no when he shoots a high number of shots it just mean that someone is guarding his ass..like tayshun prince did just like ray allen and posey did..have u checked out the video on here called the greatest trajedy in the sports? if not u need to. im this close to saying fuck the NBA.. the ref from the video im dying you to look at went public saying that he throwed the game..do u remember? Gasol goaltended in game 2 and game 4 was some the worst officating ever,

  • newsflash, anything in life, like basketball, is about results and gettin the job done. not complaining. not crying. are u a chick or somethin?

    he shoots a high number of jumpers cuz his offense is just that good. he would be doing a disservice to his team if he weren't shooting. and whole teams need to play well to affect kobe but indifiduals get killed.

    i've seen that video and like i said, ur just a dumbass with another bullshit conspiracy theory. the guy had no evidence and it was a lie.

  • the guy was going to prison and while grasping for straws he claims the game was fixed so he could cut a deal. yeah rite. i'll log you under another dumb ass conspiracy theorist who can't accept that LA is good simply cuz they always are good. Kobe = GOAT.

  • You think Kobe gets the calls? Do you even watch basketball? Kobe gets the most no-calls out of any superstar. When he does get a call, it doesn't even matter anymore. Like when Jones tripped him... hmmm... we'll give him a flagrant after the game.. Wtf.. look at pietrus grab kobe right before Nelson runs into Kobe's elbow. And No... the elbow didn't affect the outcome of the game..

  • WTF, If they call the elbow, its nelson on the line for 2, the play should have never happened anyway because Ariza foot was out of bounds when he saved the ball.. Did u watch the damn game? gasol goaltended in game 2...the pistons showed u how good kobe is, the celtics also showed u how good kobe really is..in the orlando seris look at how many shots kobe took..look at the video when they stole it from the kings..kobe bowed bibby just like nelson.. and the jordan comparisons are so funny to me

  • and you still don't get it. first of all the elbow isn't a foul. don't get all in somebody's chest and expect not to be elbowed. secondly ariza established a foot inbounds when he touched it so wrong again. ur bullshit is so ridiculous like LA didn't have any calls. dahntay jones was busy tripping kobe for a whole series and pietrus and lee play defense with their hand all over kobe. u just say the dumbest shit only a kid who's never played would say. go pick up a ball.

  • oh my god ' Ariza established a foot inbounds when he touched it" Were they playing football? if one foot is out of bounds its out of bounds, if you really wacthed that video about how they fucked the kings, wtf you mean it was no evidence? they stoled the damn game from the kings. i respect phil because he has 6 other titles and earned them the right way and shaq got one with mia, but i have no respect for kobe at all. the lakers game always look funny, they always come down to one play

  • u can disprespect kobe all you want but ur just the ant to him. he doesn't care about your opinion. y would he? ur just some guy with a vivid hallucination. i understand lakers are the most hated franchise cuz they can always afford good management and players but for people to just utterly make shit up is just ridiculous. y don't u just admit ur a hater and get off kobe's nuts for a change. nobody cares about your sexual attraction to other players. the point is kobe gets the job done. GOAT.

  • Comment removed

  • Orlando got the better half of the calls, and if Lakers robbed the kings than the Celtics sure robbed the lakers, i mean cmoon 39-10 free throw difference..cheap ass celtics

  • owned

  • Everyone come to my channel i got game 5 of nba finals where lakers win!!!!!!!!! 2009 champs !!

  • man, shutup magic fans!

    clearly there was no foul called and the Lakers won it all, so grow some Balls and stop crying!!

    Lakers are clearly better.

  • LAKERS 2009 NBA CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!

    You go Bryant.

    Maybe Next year Magic...

    But look out, cuz we comin back :)

  • Come and check my Kobe and LeBron mixes!

  • he deserved for being a pig, all the freaking series he hanged his mouthguard out of his mouth it was really disgusting.

    LAKERS!!!!!!!!! CHAMPIONS!!!!!!KOBE IS THE REAL MVP!!!!!!!

  • yes but sometimes thats just acting

  • don't hate me for what i got to say.. i know kobe is a very good basketball player but i basically hate him.. its because when he gets fouled he sends that angry look even though the foul was not intentional.. and when its his foul, he acts cold like nothing happened..

  • thats called being emotional

  • if that was a foul howard would be out before the second half.... gotta give the offensive player some room

  • THAT IS SUCH BOOTY

    i cant's belive they didn't call on offensive foul.. a flagrant foul

  • That is not a foul, you gotta give the offensive player room to turn, plus it was in O.T. and the refs put their whistles away. DON'T HATE! LAKERS 2009 NBA CHAMPIONS BABY!!!!

  • acting the coldest

    Kobe ownZ jordan in turnovers and 3p% kobe=the best

  • you realize that you want fewer turnovers, right?

  • Um nelson flopped he wasn't hit that hard & no it wasnt intentional. There were several times Kobe was crabbed & hit during the game & nothing was called. So yeah it is a good no call

  • i have to say, that was a good no call, it was not intentional, Nelson ran into kobe's elbow and took up his space. Its a no call, btw, the refs blew calls from both sides so i dont want to hear how the refs cheated the magic, did anyone see the Pietrus flagrant foul on Gasol??? did the refs call that!?

  • I hate the fouls they call nowadays the refs can basicaly control who wins the game. Baskettball in the 80's was rougher/better

  • Well at least the shitty officiating comes around full circle.

    The Lakers couldnt buy a foul call in the last 2 quarters of Game 4, in the 4th the Magic drew 12 fouls and the Lakers had 2.. WTF? Or that one play where Pietrus blatantly hit Kobe's arm and he airballed it out of bounds. Apparently to the officiating crew Kobe's terrible enough to not even hit the rim.

    The officiating was straight up embarrassing these last 2 games. I swear they were doing whatever they could to force a game 6.

  • When Kobe first came into the league, he automatically was my favorite player. He actually is the reason why I started playing. Then, all of a sudden out of nowhere, we have so many BANDWAGON RIDERS, that I don't even think I like him anymore. Where the hell were all of yall when the team was garbage a coupla years?!!!! Now all of a sudden EVERYBODY loves the Lakers.... Bunch of bullsh!t.

  • The Lakers and Kobe sure raped Orlando last night.

  • And thats why Kobe is the BEST!

    lol Nelson running to Kobe's elbow :P

  • Nelson ran into the elbow, bryant always dishes out when double team collapses. He was clearly trying to pass it out. People trying to make this an issue, clearly don't know crap

  • yeah he just ran into him u couldnt see him taking any steps but he definitely ran into it

  • So, your saying he RAN into his arm? Jameer wasn't even moving... Kobe SWUNG his elbow. There's no rule to how close you can defend a player... But there is a rule against swinging your elbows, which WOULD be a foul.

  • oibviously i know i was just mocking that guy. they didnt call it cuz they didnt call piertus jabbbin at kobe wrist on his shot.

  • and thats what happens when u try and stop THE BEST PLAYER in the nba from winning his most important title yet. MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA

    nelson you dumb pos i hope you lost ur teeth on that one.

    what is magic thinking? that they actually had a chance?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    god i love this, where r all the lakers haters now? cuz im reading through all these comments and they're gone hHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

    pussiesssssss muahahahahahahah

    LAKER FAN FOR LIFE! Always have been.

  • Well, you definitely share the arrogance and immature attitude of the Lakers.

    Yep, you're a fan alright.

    Also, "best player in the NBA"? I don't see Lebron anywhere on the court. lol

    Of course, I'm sure you'll follow up with some insulting reply, which will further prove my point about you.

  • uhhhhhh so why did nelson run into kobe's elbow again? OOO thats right cause thats how you stop him... hoping to draw a foul.

  • kobe didn't drop nelson, nelson fell on purpose to try and get the foul that he should've gotten but those fucking refs are blind

  • nelson who?

  • It was a foul, but no way it was intentional. He was getting double teamed and wasn't even looking at him til he started lifting his arms up. Nelson also did a lot of acting there. He gets nailed and falls to the ground dramatically, he gets up, but when he sees the shot go in he falls back down in agony again... right...

  • Didn't look intentional, but it was an obvious foul that he got away with.

  • Dear refs, get off Kobe's dick please. kthanx

  • Gotta love all these "it was legit and an accident" comments, as if 'accidents' can't still be fouls.

    Right before the hit, it's clear Nelson had stopped his momentum - otherwise he would have run into Bryant prior to the hit. Once he got there, Kobe *started* his momentum in the direction of Nelson, driving his elbow into Nelson's face. CLEARLY a foul.

  • @audib13 You have clearly watched this over and over again to form that biassed opinion

  • I dunno if he did it on purpose, but it still looks like a foul to me, I mean it took Nelson out of the game. Quite literally. Not taking anything away from Lakers though. Magic should have closed out the game, and didn't.

    Hopefully we'll get a good win tonight, and then look towards the next game.

  • Elbow to the face.

    Since when did that become legal?

  • get ur shit outta here nelson

  • accident! sadly for nelson hes the perfect size to catch that one on his chin. if u ask me i pay more attention to fishers shot

  • offensive foul on kobe

  • Yes, Kobe is the shit... just like in 2002 he need that elbow to win, he needed it this year.... as an additional surprise, both of the times it happened in the last 30 seconds of the game, where the game could have gone either way So yes, he IS the shit, literally. It's amazing how fans can be blinded by things like this. I like Kobe but that is dirty. I like the Magic and Pietrus was an idiot there & I can admit that. Most Laker fans, not al but some are so brain washed, it's unbelievable.

  • u see kobe is gonna do that shit to the wrong motherfucker and he's gonna get his ass beat

  • That was a foul on Nelson!!!

  • Is it me or does Fisher's smile look creepy as hell?

  • def creepy

  • KOBE IS A BOSS! thats what happens when you get in his way bitch!

  • Fuck all you Laker Haters! Just mad cuz your city isnt bringing home the trophy, let alone probably cant even get to the playoffs in the first place....KOBE is the best...Nelson deserves that elbow to the face...his wack ass should be sitting on the bench anyways...Stan Van Hungry needs some work coaching and Hedo Turkey Glue needs to practice his free throws as well as Dwight Super fag!!!

  • ur funny

  • Comment removed

  • of course that was intentional he elbowed him on purpose and acted like he got in way

  • kobe is a bitch

  • ur the bitch

  • Kobe dont give a Fuck

  • bitch pussy Nelson gotta fight throug that shit and get in Fish'z face dum fuk

  • the lakers are douchebags, the lakers fans are douchebags, and kobe bryant is the biggest douchebag of them all.

  • douchebag omik!

  • haha those douchebags are better than you, you fuckin loser douchebag!

  • Dude .. you are so right ! This game is being transformed by thugs, commentators, media, and the refs. I just can't stand it when they say "good hard foul", "playoff foul", "not gonna get that call, it's the playoffs"."good physical play". that's why the game is so messed up now. It's like they want them to fight and become spectacles. It doesn't matter what the media says. A FOUL IS A FOUL ! No one has rewritten the rule book. That's why you see crap like fish slamming scola. k,i'm done ranting

  • with the 3 :D

  • kobe bryant suks pee lofl he said hebetter then micheal jordan

  • he is!

  • sorry for all the people who are crying foul on that "foul", but in the 4th quarter Lakers went to the line how many times? ZERO! that's right, none! and how many times did the Magic missed their freethrows in the 4th?! ARE YOU GONNA TELL ME THAT THE LAKERS DIDN'T DESERVE TO GO TO THE LINE EVEN ONCE DURING THE ENTIRE 4TH QUARTER? I SAY THAT IS JUST SWEET JUSTICE WITH THIS PLAY!!

  • aznsketcher - thats a flawed logic. What you just said is: since the lakers were not fouled, they could not have fouled anyone. Anyone with any sense can realize how weak your argument is.

  • no!!! it's not the reason,the rizon why is?... because nelson bad habbits... he always thru out the mouthpiz on his mouth...so kobe decided hit that fucking mouth!!! hahahahaha LOL!!!!

  • Speak english you retard

  • lol .. nelson has every right to that space. Coming up with his elbows is not an excuse to bend the rules. kobe's sees him clearly. A foul is supposed to be incidental contact. the person committing the foul is not supposed to be doing it intentionally. So if someone is double teamed and they block off the players space to try and regain possession then that's good defense. It is never okay to throw elbows to get out of it. Incidental or intentional it's a foul.

  • "Incidental or intentional it's a foul", how about that fist in Gasol's eye from Mickael Petrus, and only a technical for that body slam from behind? That is too serious to considered only for a technical.

  • Comment removed

  • walked into his elbow going up

  • why didn't the magic bench react when nelson hit the floor?

  • he sees the double coming and decides to create space with his elbows. running into kobe's elbow is not a fair assessment. which player initiating the contact is the proper call. So it's nelson's fault for playing defense? no, it's kobe throwing an elbow to the face. If that were legal you'd see alot more broken noses and black eyes. Flailing around to try and avoid defense is a foul.

  • the lakers are douchebags, the lakers fans are douchebags, and kobe bryant is the biggest douchebag of them all.

  • lol...

  • hahah kobe can drop anyone. hes soft.. Hides behind the refs for everything. Hes a good player but not a fan.

  • I'm glad the refs didn't call a foul, even though it was an obvious one. The Magic chocked they missed a lot of free throws in the 4th qtr.

  • Okay, my bad. I watched the video again. Nelson DID run into Kobe's elbow. Kobe was already moving his arm getting ready to pass and Nelson ran up there and stuck his face into the elbow. Great defense, but bad decision. That's akin to someone running up on Dwight Howard when he's bringing down the rebound. You'd have to be an idiot to run up there and try to get the ball.

  • It was an offensive foul, but the officials were rarely calling fouls against the Magic. Kobe drove into the lane multiple times and got hacked or bumped by Howard and not one foul was called. It was almost as if the officials knew the Lakers were going to win, so they decided to not call any fouls. Amazing how the Lakers used EVERY SINGLE person from the bench because of the fouls called against them, and yet, they still won the game. That's talent.

  • i agree with EVERYTHING you sed...

    except the offensive foul, he clearly ran into his elbow, but you corrected yourself so i agree with you 100%...

  • he walked into it

  • He walked into it, NO FOUL. STOP COMPLAINING MAGIC FANS. MAYBE IF YOU GUYS CAN MAKE FREETHROWS WE WOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS WHINY DISCUSSION. God, cry more..

  • Kobe raped Nelson like he raped that white girl

  • weak ass shit, fisher takin advantage of a no call, fk u refs, we all kno u want lakers to win.

  • It's not the refs fault they lost the game. Blame the team for fucking it up.

  • TWICE

  • this was a huge call, it just shows that even if the magic let this one get to far, it doesn't matter, call should have been made. Its not the NBA FINALS its the KOBE FINALS.

  • are you kidding me? jameer nelson is playing good defense there. he has every single right to get in kobe's face. his hands are up, his feet are set, and he's not fouling kobe at all. that is textbook defense right there. you can't penalize someone for playing too good defense.

    it's the same with a charge. if the defense has his feet set and his arms straight up, he has every right to stand in front of the player as he drives to the lane. the foul here is on kobe and no one else.

  • So it has to be intentional to be called? your an idiot.

  • i saw no elbow.

  • what do u mean u saw no elbow? did he just fall down by himself to let the lakers tie the game? prolly not

  • He was obviously expecting a offensive foul he dropped himself you swear that force will bring him down as if he was a piece of paper.. Sure Kobe elbowed him but falling down was unnecessary.. haha Magics fail.

  • I don't think that it was a foul, but if someone did that to Kobe, they would have been all over that shit.

  • This wasn't intentional, before Nelson even got to Kobe, Kobe was already raising his hands, but Nelson just ran in TOO close and caught the elbow as Kobe was passing the ball.

  • it wasn't intentional but it was still a foul. if you accidentally trip on your laces and then fall on somebody, they're still going to call a foul because you decked him. it's the same thing here. if you elbow somebody in the face it should be a foul.

  • If you flip around the players and Nelson did that to Kobe he would have been ejected from the game. Kobe makes sure that he sticks his elbow out just far enough to hit him knowing that it would look like an accident and that hes Kobe so they will never suspend him for anything in the finals.

  • koby lo mejor

  • THAT FUCKIN' NIGGER!!!!!!

  • Lakers 2009:-)

  • that's what happens when you get too close. Maybe a little intentional but still wasn't a foul

  • it isnt a foul.. well that's what my opinion

    kobe isnt looking foward to hit the guy.. he just wanted to pass the ball and besides the guy ran into him when he was about to do that

  • FUCKING BULLSHIT
