it's the classic I'll pull you down on top of me to draw the offensive foul.

Hollywood. Land of fantasy.

Ooh, Bibby's hurt- somebody call the whhhambulance! Maybe you don't remember the Eastern Conference playoff game where Mark Aguirre, I think it was, for the Pistons collided with a Boston player in the lane AND WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS, with no foul called. That's playoff basketball, my friend.

It's too bad you can see, or you're too feeble to understand. If you watch a replay (You've heard of those, right?) you'll see that as Kobe starts to move, Bibby reaches up with his right arm and wraps it around Kobe's back. Kobe's forearm is moving as he starts to make his cut, but because Bibby is clutching him there's no place to go and Kobe accidentally strikes Bibby in the nose. I can remember as a kid, probably in the mid sixties, reading a Sports Illustrated article about one of the Celtics who's reputation was drawing fouls. It had full color diagrams and text by the guy on how to do it. Weight back on the heels to draw the charge, all that kind of stuff. Bibby's move was straight out of the how to draw a charge textbook. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. The ref was looking right at the play and should have called it on Bibby before the inbounds but he gave the Kings a break. You're too biased to see that.

Why haven't we heard you comment on the questionable call they made against Kobe at the end of regulation? Sending Bibby to the line to tie it up. Was it fixed then?
