Jackson Defends Kobe’s Actions As Habit
In the LOS ANGELES TIMES, Mike Bresnahan writes “Coach Phil Jackson reiterated the need to send ‘50 clips’ to the league office to show Kobe Bryant flinging his arms in all directions regardless of whether there were players around. It was Bryant's second one-game suspension this season for striking a player in the face and his third suspension dating to January 2006, when he was hit with a two-game penalty for elbowing Memphis forward Mike Miller in the throat. Bryant, dirty? No, said Jackson, who once led the NBA in personal fouls as a player (330 with New York in 1974-1975). But is being careful a need for him? Indeed, Jackson said.“
