"Celebrate the legacy of the greatest power forward to ever grace the hardwood with these videos"

[C l u t c H 385]

...I have never seen ONE video that indicates Malone threw dirty elbows at anybody! They were all reaching in trying to steal the ball! They deserved what they got! They should have realized that Malone had the rebound secure....and should have been heading back down court to play defense!!!

Exactly. It's basketball. He has every right to pivot and keep the ball high. It's what you're taught to do since you're 5 years old. If someone gets in your way trying to be a little piss ant playing D with their hands instead of their feet, they should be prepared for the consequences. As for Kobe, the calls he gets are breaking the rules. Who cares if someone breaks the rules to get back at him.

I don't get it. Why is this board so fascinated with cheap shot artists and their half-assed stunts? Great, Malone threw a bunch of unprovoked elbows at some of the all-time greats. He was an *** hole. Same thing with Raja Bell -- why do you all LOVE the fact that he cheap-shot Kobe? Wow, great job Raja! Instead of just guarding him, you cheated and threw him to the floor and essentially said, "I can't guard you, you've been torching me/us all night, you've gotten so far into my head that my butt hole hurts, and that there's a better chance that SimpleHeel will be the next Rhodes Scholar before I beat you at anything except an ugly contest. So I'll just get ejected."

Awesome.

Since you love Duncan so much, go ask Spurs fans why they love Bruce Bowen. Then maybe you'll get it.

As far as the Isiah elbow...I find it hilarious that to this day you still have players from that team (Salley & Laimbeer) who get pissed when the Malone elbow is mentioned. That Detroit team was the biggest pieces of cheap shot *** hats in the history of basketball. Their ring leader, Isiah, told the "enforcers" several times to take out players. Then all of the sudden it happens to them and they cry about it.

The Steve Nash elbow was clean -- or at least within the rules. Phil Jackson dedicates some time to that play in his book The Last Season.

The Steve Nash elbow was clean -- or at least within the rules.

And the Isiah elbow was a foul, sure, but not dirty. They both jumped into each other.

Why's everyone on this board all about creating hate? This was to be a positive thread.

It's Jazzfanz, eh, KhaOZ?

Nuff said.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Duncan > Malone -- neg rep away, bitches.

This.

you've gotten so far into my head that my butt hole hurts, "

Sorry, missy sue.

We try to be sensative round these parts, but sometimes real men end up people instead of girly chicks such as in your case. Good luck with your flowers and such, sissy ho.

Awesome.

Kobe elbowed Raja upwards of 10 times in that game and he deserved to be clothes lined. Malone's elbows were overplayed by the media. He went for the ball against Isiah. He was clearing space against Robinson.

There were far worse plays that never got the attention those did and never got the player's making them suspended.

Detroit played dirty throughout their championship run. Hell, even Laimbeer had a video game made because of how physical of a player he was.

Detroit needed to put on their big boy pants and stop calling the kettle black.
