Let's go frame by frame. Starting at 0:22 , when Yao just released the ball. Kobe is leaning back, and Artest's left arm is above Kobe's right shoulder, and though it's difficult to tell, it appears his elbow may be near Kobe's head. At 0:23, Kobe swings his right arm back, generating quite a bit of force as his entire body turns. It appears to hit Artest in the throat. Artest immediately reaches for his throat at 0:25.

Kobe is just trash, he is not a man.

If any other player who have the same reputation like Artest, example Bill Lambeer, Barkley, Dennis Rodman, Karl Malone, they trow a elbow like that, they receive automatically a technical foul, of course its Kobe let him go.

David Stern Strike again

koby is a little punk who gets everything he wants

if artest did the same thing he would be suspended for the whole playoffs
