2008 NBA Finals: Will Kobe Bryant be suspended for game 3?

2008 NBA Finals: Will Kobe Bryant be suspended for game 3?

By NBA rules, if a player gets his 16th foul, they get suspended for the next game. In addition, all NBA players' technical fouls follow them starting from the regular season throughout the finals. Kobe had already 15 fouls last night and reached his 16th by game 2. Does that mean that Kobe Bryant won't play for game 3? Or just because he is Kobe and it is the Finals the NBA is just going to sit there and do nothing about it? Am I even right about the NBA rules???
  • Yes. According to NBA rules, Bryant should not play next game.
  • No. It is the final's, the NBA is letting it slip.
  • Actually, Kobe is eligible to play for the next game because:

    I have heard about this but maybe these rules don't apply on the Finals.

    Answered Actually, Kobe is eligible to play for the next game because:

    I actually went to the nba.com website and I do not see anything talking about a certain number of fouls can suspend a player from the game. But I might be wrong so please look over the pdf file and let me know. It's attached below.

    If you are a good enough player I believe they let you get by with as much as possible.
    But... I don't know much about professional sports. Love to play sports. Hate to watch them. It doen't make sense to me to pay someone that much $ to play a game??!?!?

    That is very true it is a lot of money. But because of their talent and skill they get that much money to entertain us. I dont think our president should get any money for the poor services he is giving us. I rather pay kobe bryant for doing a good job rather than automatically give it to someone that is doing a shitty job. LOL
