During the All-Star Game, Dwayne Wade fouled Kobe Bryant
hard for today’s NBA standards. It turns
out that Kobe fractured his nose and suffered a mild concussion from the foul,
and the Heat may pay the repercussions for that this Sunday. This Sunday at 2:30, the Heat player the
Lakers, and this will certainly be a game to watch. Kobe Bryant doesn’t just let things go, he
gets even. Kobe always looks to score,
but he will be even more active against the Heat. He never plays down to his competition, and
he is always elevating his play in big games.
If the Lakers are able to beat the Heat, then they will strike up
conversation amongst the league on the topic of their chance at title
contention. Kobe knows this, and he will
be doing everything that he can to prove that the L.A. Lakers are still on the
top of their game. This is motivation
enough for Kobe to perform at a freakish level, but add on the fractured nose
and concussion, and Kobe will be in assassin mode. In the press conference yesterday, he said
that everything is good between the two of them and that Wade apologized, but
you could tell that something was bothering him. The hard foul was one of the only defensive
plays throughout the entirety of the All-Star Game, and it came at Kobe’s expense. Players normally don’t get concussions or
fractures noses in post season play, but Kobe got one in a meaningless All-Star
game. He is angry, and the Heat will
have to be playing their best defensive basketball to contain him.
