Curry bluntly said that he was frequently hit by Kobe during his rookie period, counting how many times Kobe was suspended for elbow strikes
7:00pm, 13 September 2025Basketball
Recently, Curry recalled the past about Kobe when he was a guest on a show. I bluntly said that when I switched defenses to Kobe Bryant as a rookie, he kept elbowing me on the body. At that time, Curry, as a fan of Kobe, was in awe of Kobe. Curry also said that he had been looking at the referee foolishly at that time, hoping that the referee could roar the whistle and call Kobe for foul. But the fact is that after receiving the ball, Kobe faked his left shoulder and leaned back to the jump shot, and then returned to the backcourt.
Curry thought to himself: "Okay, this is my welcome to the NBA moment."
Three years later, Curry completed a three-point long shot against Kobe in a game. That was the moment when Kobe passed the torch to Curry. He gently patted my butt on the way through the halftime. The gifts he gave me and the moments of passing the torch were cool
Curry's remarks this time can be said to be very topical. A star in the league faced a rookie defender frequently. Is this really a welcome to the NBA? If Curry fails to become a superstar in the future and is just an ordinary player, isn’t that a bully?
1, April 2000: Elbow hits Chris Charles of the Knicks, banning 1 game
In April 2000, in the regular season between the Lakers and the Knicks, Kobe and Charles broke out in a conflict. When the two sides confronted each other, Charles took the lead and Kobe was hit by the head, and Kobe then elbowed, but then Charles quickly swung his punch and hit Kobe in the face. When a bigger conflict occurred in the future, Charles had retreated to the safe area. , Kobe seemed to have made a profit from elbow, but in fact he was actually punched twice
} After the game, Kobe was suspended for elbowing his opponent for one game, while Charles was suspended for two games
2. March 2002: Reggie Miller, the boxing Pacers were suspended for two games
In March 2002, in the Lakers vs Pacers, in the last 6 seconds of the game, the Pacers were already behind the Lakers by a large score. But Kobe completed a three-pointer at this time. When he saw Kobe finishing his attack, Miller directly spitted out trash talk. The young and energetic Kobe started to fight against Miller. The two began to get entangled together, and even hit the technical station for a while, and finally got into trouble until the security guards made efforts to separate them. Afterwards, the league determined that Kobe "actively attacked" and suspended for two additional games.
3, December 2005: Elbow hit the Grizzlies Mike Miller's throat, suspended for 2 games
In December 2005, in the Lakers' game against the Grizzlies, Miller first gave Kobe a elbow when he made a layup, causing Kobe's facial bleeding. After playing again, Kobe directly hit Miller's throat with his elbow. The league then upgraded Kobe's foul to a second-level malicious foul, and was suspended for two games. After the game, Kobe refused to admit his mistake and publicly stated that this was a tooth for a tooth!
January 2007: Elbows to the Spurs Manu Ginobili in the face and banned 1 game
On January 28, 2007, in the Lakers' game against the Spurs, Ginobili blocked Kobe's shot at a critical moment. Kobe waved his elbow back when he landed, hitting Ginobili's nose bridge, causing the latter to bleed. The league determined that Kobe "intentionally injured people" and was suspended for one game.
March 2007: Jaric attacked the Timberwolves in the face and suspended one game against the Timberwolves in 2007. When Jaric blocked Kobe, Kobe elbowed his opponent, but Kobe was still suspended for one game.
The above five times are reviews of Kobe's official suspension due to elbow strikes in his career. Although Kobe's "black elbow" behavior is indeed controversial, the NBA is a competitive sports with high intensity confrontation. As a player who has been defending for many years, it is understandable that Kobe has such controversial behavior, but this behavior should never be regarded as the Mamba spirit, and the Mamba spirit is by no means unscrupulous for victory. Curry's ability to talk about these topics proves that he did not care about these things, but instead means that he has grown up
