| Jan 7, 2016 at 15:49 | comment | added | user527 | @Coach-D Where did he flinch? "Let nothing show on your face" was the point I was referring to, not "Kobe reacted by his poor decision making throughout the course of the game." Barnes was hacking Kobe that game and Kobe was hacking back, so one was using those tactics against the other. | |
| Jan 7, 2016 at 15:10 | comment | added | Coach-D | @mastermind_ed - he did react because - #1 what the hell is Kobe doing pressing the in-bounds passer. #2 He played terrible against Barnes jacking up dumb hero shots all game. | |
| Jan 7, 2016 at 13:24 | comment | added | user527 | @Coach-D One example doesn't imply a generalization...Kobe didn't react by the ball being pumped in his face in that instance, that's all I was pointing out. That said, I can appreciate what you are saying about Bird and Jordan especially as they primarily played in a different era than Kobe. | |
| Jan 6, 2016 at 23:34 | comment | added | Coach-D | @mastermind_ed - not sure Kobe is the best example of keeping cool. When he played against top defenders he jacked up a lot of shots from 20 feet with the guy right in his face. I would have pointed to more Bird or Jordan on this front. Bird dealt with cheap guys in more of a happy way - and rose his play against top defenders. Jordan was great at focusing his anger and really looked like some possessed maniac when playing against Detroit for example - but still under control. | |

| Jan 4, 2016 at 17:38 | comment | added | Val | This is actually the thing that irritates me the most too and I do two things. I wear really tight jerseys and I hack away when I feel hands. I hack until I hear my number in association with a ref whistle and then I know I've pushed a smidge too hard for next time. Your play has to match what you are encountering even if you would prefer more sportsmanlike play. If something becomes egregious then it's time for a captain to request a review. | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 17:24 | comment | added | Josh C. | Thanks. I figured I'd have accept it as part of the game, but besides emotionally, I'm not sure how to prepare to counter. I'm frustrated not because of fairness, but because I can't overcome. If I breakaway, and they are holding on my jersey, how hard can I hack their hand? What do I do about retaliation? (I'm also a little frustrated that I'm so out of shape. Previously, I probably could have simply played more physically) | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 17:06 | comment | added | user527 | +1 Great, experienced answer. I am reminded of this example when you state, "Let nothing show on your face." | |
