That was uncalled for by Raja Bell. But Kobe got ejected too. Kobe needs to learn to shut his damn mouth. Always whining about something.

Phoenix’s Raja Bell Suspended NEW YORK, May 3 – Raja Bell of the Phoenix Suns has been suspended one game without pay for unnecessary and excessive contact with the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Senior Vice President Basketball Operations. Bell was assessed a Flagrant Foul Penalty Two for the incident which occurred with 7:33 remaining in the fourth period of the Suns’ 114-97 win over the visiting Lakers on May 2. Bell will miss Game 6 of the series, which will be played at the Staples Center on Thursday, May 4. They need to start calling the games better because K. Brown didn't get shit when he knocked down that one player and stood over him with his crouch in his face, except a foul.
God Bless Kobie Bryant... God Bless Kobie Bryant and His Crotch, He can stick his Blessed Crotch Anywhere He wants too.. Including Innocent White Women... :nono: on a side note Kobie had a Daughter this week Im gonna have more Info on that soon... :cheers:
L.A. Times LAKER REPORT Suns' Bell Suspended For One Game http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-lakerep4may04,1,7933346.story?coll=la-headlines-sports&ctrack=1&cset=true PHOENIX -- The NBA suspended Phoenix guard Raja Bell for one game on Wednesday for throwing Kobe Bryant to the floor in the fourth quarter of Tuesday night's playoff game against the Los Angeles Lakers. That means the Suns will be without Bell, the principal defender against Bryant, for Game 6 Thursday night in Los Angeles. Phoenix beat the Lakers 114-97 in Game 5 but Los Angeles still leads the best-of-seven series 3-2 and can eliminate the Suns with a victory. In a brief news release, the NBA said Bell was suspended for "excessive and unnecessary contact." The suspension had yet to be announced when the Suns practiced earlier Wednesday before leaving for Los Angeles. After the workout, Bell repeated that throwing Bryant down was wrong but explained what led to the foul and made clear his dislike for the Lakers' star. "I have no respect for him," Bell said. "I think he's a pompous, arrogant individual." Bell said he had been repeatedly hit in the face by Bryant during the game. "I got a bruised cheek here and I can barely open my jaw on this side," he said, indicating the left side of his face, "and that didn't come from nowhere, and I felt like I'd had enough of that." Bell said it went from a game to a personal insult. "When I get hit in the face multiple times, you've stepped across the line with me," he said. "It's not basketball anymore. It was basketball for four games, then when he hit me in the face, that was the last straw last night. It still doesn't excuse me, but that's just the way I felt about it." At the other end of the court just before Bell threw Bryant down, the Suns guard said he complained to referee Greg Willard about getting hit in the face, and Lakers coach Phil Jackson hollered out that Bell "deserved it," adding a profanity to emphasize the point. That's why Bell pointed to the Lakers' bench yelling "That's your foul!" after he threw Bryant down. Bell and Bryant received a double-technical in the second quarter. A few minutes after Bell was tossed, Bryant was thrown out of the game for his second technical for complaining about James Jones' hard foul on Kwame Brown. The latest incident is part of a season-long series of expressions of mutual contempt between Bell and Bryant. After Tuesday night's game, Bryant said he hoped Bell wouldn't be suspended but added that players can't afford to lose their temper in games. "I'm not trying to go out there and elbow somebody, that's not the way I play," Bryant said. "If you get elbowed, you still have to keep your cool. I get elbowed all the time." Bell called Bryant's comments "hypocritical." Bell's teammate Steve Nash said the Lakers have gotten the best of the officiating in the series. "We're playing a very heated battle and people on the outside are constantly telling guys that we've got to be more physical," Nash said. "It's tough, and he's faced a lot this series. He's done a great job on Kobe, and Kobe gets away with whatever he wants. That's kind of frustrating."
