Kevin Garnett got one game for outdoing Carmelo in the "losing it" competition. That's what tats and cornrows get you in the later stages of the Stearn NBA. I understand it from a marketing point of view. Fair? Well, I guess that's in the eye of the beholder. You’re missing the real point :^)

The guy doesn't mind mixing it up. I had forgotten about the fistfights he had gotten into. Even without the rape, he has had some image control issues. As for this incident: 1. that was a spectacular block. One of the best, cleanest blocks on a jumpshot I've seen in a long time. 2. I think it could have gone either way. It was a weird movement by Kobe. It certainly wasn't premeditated. But then again I wouldn't say it totally lacked malice.

That suspension was suspect. If the inadvertent elbow came from Lebron, or heck, Dikembe, would they have gotten what Kobe got?
