I don't like Bryant, and I'm glad to watch him get shut down by Trevor Ariza.
That being said, Paul was wearing me down last night trying to draw fouls at the close of that game. Even though Bryant got the shooting arm, that leg whip was crap. A couple of plays later, he went down like a sack of potatoes when he stepped on someone's foot on the inbounds pass trying to draw another foul. I get that it's smart basketball to pull fouls when youre down and the clock is running. Still, it irritated me.
Of course, if he were a Maverick, I'd be calling those plays intelligent. So, yeah, I'm a hypocrite.
