3rd qtr 9:50 left, Kome stole the ball and was thinking highlight reel and more attention as he was going for a breakaway layup.
Nuggetts Anthony Carter ran him down and did an entirely proper hack to keep Kome from scoring.
Pouty cheapshoting Kome upon seeing he missed, goes wayy out of his way and swings his left arm and hand around and swats Carter in the face, eye to be specific. When they both stop, Carter gives wussy pampered boy a tiny little shove. Btw, after fouling Kobe and while Kobe was still in the air, Carter went out of his way to put both hands on Kome and guide him down so he would not get hurt. It almost looked like a scene out of Blades of Glory as Napoleon Dynamite came down from a spin move and Will Ferrel caught him.
Tweet. Consultation. Technical foul on Carter! ABC-ESPN-Laker commentraitor Mark Jackson goes out of his way to call Komes cheapshot "no way intentional". However amazingly ABC does a full exposure slowed down replay. It's just as obvious and intentional as Kobes other cheapshots. Mark Jackson won't budge tho, continues slobbering over Kobster and repeats it's in no way intentional as the slo mo replay is showing.
Anything gonna come down from Stooge Jackson on this one? Naw.
