  20 pts on 10 FG attempts > 35 pts 30 FG attempts

  kobe is a punk, theres a reason why hes voted in the top 5 of dirtiest players in the league
• Hb31187

  

  lol just saw the highlights....Hits dude in the nuts...then elbows him on the way down? What a bitch
• Hb31187

  

  and lol for saying Barnes should be ejected for faking like he was gonna hit kobe with the ball...but Kobe should be in the game after hitting a man below the belt and then elbowing him
• Sage

  

  Barnes was coming down on him. It wasn't a nutshot in the least, because I think an elbow to the balls woulda sent Barnes to the ground.
  
  Also, if you pulled that ball fake on an inbounds pass, you would get your ass beat on 99% of the courts in America. Complete bitchassery.
• SQ_Crazies

  

  Whenever we eventually play our game on the court Sage, I'm gonna fake a pass right in your face. I bet you fall into that 1%.
  
  Kobe asked for it, they were both being douche bags. IMO, Kobe was the bigger douche because he tried to be a hard ass and rattle Barnes, act like it didn't rattle him--oh, except that's exactly what it did and he clearly made a mistake of shaking Barnes tree. Fuckin' mongoose came out and killed the Black Mamba. Best he could do was elbow him in the nuts to avoid getting them in his face.

  I like that, kick someone out for pretending to throw the ball at someone's face... Next they'll outlaw the pumpfake for pretending to shoot the ball.
• Hb31187

  

  Lol first off...ever seen and 1? they fake throwing it at the other person and actually do throw it off the other person commonly....so idk about having my ass beat in 99% of places in america. I do however know that in 110% of places if you purposely throw a nut shot at someone...you're gettin your shit stomped out. Thats cowardly
• j_crazy

  

  i think that barnes did what he wanted to do, which was get in kobe's head. i'll look forward to this matchup if they meet again in the finals.

  While Iguodala is in the air, Kobe "shoves him"....in the nuts.

  Kobe seems like like other guy's nuts now.

  Watching And 1 and claiming it as an example of basketball is akin to beating off and claiming you just slayed a supermodel.
  
  Not sure you'd get your ass beat for doing it, but you'd get laughed at big time.
• SQ_Crazies

  

  And 1 games are included in the basketball games that Sage talked about in this country, are they not?
• jpake1

  

  Wish I would have watched the game live. Ain't nothing wrong with getting a little chippy. It's starting to get that time when the big boys put on their playoff persona.
• Hb31187

  

  Cview that is an absolutely horrid comparison to what i said.

  I agree with this, just can't understand why so many people think Kobe was so innocent in all that. He did it a different way, but he is every bit as much of a punk as Barnes. AND he let Barnes get in his head.
• Sage

  

  Jesus. And1, really?
  
  Why not point to the Washington Generals next time.
  
  You know exactly what I fucking mean, and don't have a point to refute it, which is why you brought AND 1 into the mix. Lmao.
• SQ_Crazies

  

  LOL, you're right he knows exactly what you fucking meant when you said 99% of basketball games around the country. And-1 falls into that I'd say. Be more specific jackass.
• SQ_Crazies

  

  And there is a 43,000% chance that you're not anywhere near a good enough baller to play with any of the And-1 guys in a legit, real game of hoops.
• karen lotz

  
• Sage

  

  Well, out of all the games played in America, I'm willing to bet that And-1 circuit games fall into that 1% that were excluded from my statement. You really can't be that dense, can you? Use your mind once in awhile SQ, it seems like it could use a stretch.
  
  Also, no, I probably couldn't play with the And-1 guys. Actually, there's no "probably" about it. It's just like how none of them could play in the NBA. Although, I fail to see what any of this has to do with the original argument?
• SQ_Crazies

  

  Well, I mean you respond like And-1 is a joke. If it's a joke to you then go play in it.
  
  And you're sure none of them can play in the NBA?
• Sage

  

  Jesus Christ. Karen Lotz. What is this, attack of the imbeciles?
  
  Notice any trend here? All-Star Games? And-1 Games? Globe Trotter Games? NOT SERIOUS BASKETBALL.
  
  If two guys are going at it like Barnes/Kobe were yesterday, and somebody pulled the ball fake on an inbounds play, the gloves would come off. Sorry. That's just the way it is.

  It's basically a basketball traveling circus. So yes, I would call it a joke.
  
  Other than Rafer Alston (who has probably played the last NBA game of his "illustrious" career), I can't think of any And-1 "Star" who did anything of substance in the NBA. After all, how many of them would be playing for And-1 if they had standing offers from the NBA.
  
  Get real.
• SQ_Crazies

  

  I doubt it. Maybe some shoving and yelling--I doubt punches would be thrown in many places. Sure as fuck not 99% of pick up basketball games lol.
