Kobe is one physical mofo. Reminds me of how he would use his bows to make space.

I'm shocked Harden didn't flop and fly into the stands.

Kobe has really good Funcational strengh, how many wing players can seal Lebron in the post? i think Kobe is the only one.

Hilarious ish. Would that be called a loose ball violation or just being physical, trying to get the rebound?

I saw that as I watching the game. I was dying!! I wish the rebound had come his way. Would have made sports center for sure

It was martial arts on the court. Notice how Kobe used both opponent's energy and momentum to force them into a collision, then right after impact he simply pushed them away as they were both off-balance.

This caught my eye the moment it happened. Thank God for dvr.

GT, I agree with the footwork ... although you did qualify your assessment with "more" rather than "instead of".

Kobe == boss.

I saw this during the game and was thinking there were multiple things wrong with that whole sequence. Hilarious nonetheless.
1. Don't think players are allowed to be leaning into the key before the attempt goes up. Rockets would be at fault on that.
2. Pretty sure a player can't use his hands to physically move players in a box out (I know players get away with it, but not when it's pretty obvious). Kobe looks to be at fault on that. Technically would be a foul if caught, right?

Kobe doing his best Moe Howard impression.
