Happens ALL THE TIME in the NBA, you just don't hear about it. Hell KG punched his teammates face out, and busted his jaw. Am I saying that is a model of what I would do, or suggest someone else do? No. But he was getting on his a$$. Some people need that, and in today's soft America people and players need to be cuddled up to and suggested instead of getting physical and telling them the deal. People now frown upon a guy like Bobby Knight's methods. Kobe isn't just a teammate out there, he has to be the leader. And he has to do, what he has to do to motivate. I too have played "team" sports for a good while. More specifically, the game we are discussing. There are multiple wyas to do things. Who are you or anyone else in position to judge? I would elbow a guy like Sasha. And don't even make it sound like it was a vicious elbow. It looked more like a slap while they were both sitting on the bench. Don't trip.
