Bell should kick his ass hard next time.
I said this in the chat, and I despise Manu as much as the rest of us, but I didn't think that knee was intentional, nor was it uncommon in basketball.
DDT!
i would love manu if he's in a suns uniform
lol
I don't have TIVO to triple-check it, but it looked like he tried to create space with his knee, which is an offensive foul. It wasn't just the natural jumping motion by any stretch of the imagination.
If he was doing it to gain extra height on his jump then he shouldn't have hit Amare in the nuts. He was simply doing it to force contact and clear space so the defender is completely unable to defend the shot and he gets the foul call. He saw Amare there, he knew he could block the shot easily and he pulls that cheap crap that could injure a player. It would be just our luck if he ruptured Amare's nut or injured his groin so he has to miss games.I have to disagree. That is a natural motion when you're trying to get extra height and your driving toward the rim. I've done that several times in pick up games when trying to get a little extra life. One time I kneed some guy in the chest, the other time in the balls. It happens sometimes. I'm not an NBA player obviously, but your knee coming up like that is not uncommon.

wow i hate you. im not joking either
I don't see how leading with your knee into the defender is any different from clearing the defender with your off arm, either way it should be an offensive foul.
Do you ever see Bryant or James or any other high flyer going for a dunk with his knee way out in front of him at a 90-degree angle? No.
I don't think Ginobili had time to aim for Stoudemire's crotch, but he was certainly extending the knee as a way of gaining more space.
maybe you are trying to play dirty in your pick up games...I have to disagree. That is a natural motion when you're trying to get extra height and your driving toward the rim. I've done that several times in pick up games when trying to get a little extra lift. One time I kneed some guy in the chest, the other time in the balls. It happens sometimes.

Manu is a disgrace to the game of basketball. He would be a hell of a player if it wasn't for his ridiculous flopping and dirty play. It's one thing to accentuate real contact in order to get a call, but he reacts violently when there is no contact and gets the calls, he makes a mockery of the game.DDT!
