Poor Kobe
 
Sometimes a guy can't get a break. Poor Kobe.

What a complete joke. There is always room for these guys to become officials if they could call it better.

Kobe? Kobe? That name sounds familiar. Oh, yeah, he makes a Japanese hamburger.

Great time to yell: "SCOREBOARD"

Whoever put this video together can't even spell "hand checking". The whole thing is a joke - typical of a fan who doesn't have even a sliver of objectivity.

Must have been the same parent that screams every game from the top of the bleachers.

HAHAHAHAHA!

Sorry, I got nothin'.

I do think some of those plays were fouls, but I also think some were not, but you can't shorten a ball game and show it to people, no doubt this was very subjective.

Fan rant on:

You don't really know much about basketball.
Kobe has been passing too much this season.
Kobe doesn't really complain any more than other stars in all sports that have been placed on a pedestal.
Screwing around on his wife says something about him as a person, but has nothing to do with basketball. I'm sure there are some athletes that you look up to that have done the same thing Kobe did. I'm not saying it is right because it isn't, but that shouldn't mean an official doesn't call a foul because he cheated. To say that is ridiculous.

Would I take the time to put together that highlight video? Heck no. I'm one of the biggest Laker fans in the world, but I worship no man and do not do the whole purple and gold thing. However, as an official some of those plays are clearly fouls and would be called for other players.

Fan rant off:
