just saw the replay. looks kind of brutal he wasnt moving the shoulder or raising his arm or anything. theyre saying it could possibly be seperated.
a sonic player was grabbing his arm while another sonic player collided into his shoulder with some steam from behind. grab your hand and try jerking your shoulder forward. now imagine that same jerk times like 50. that is basically what kobe just felt.
one of the half time guys says by the looks of it he could miss a lot of time and will seriously hurt any chance of a good lakers playoff run.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) -- Kobe Bryant could be sidelined up to a month with a strained right shoulder, the same injury that sidelined the Lakers guard for six games season.
"We tried to be optimistic, but it looks like he could be out for a while," Los Angles coach Phil Jackson said Saturday after practice.
"He was optimistic when he came in this morning, which is a very good sign," Jackson said. "He felt that he would be back in a few games, so he thought it was nothing like the last time when he had to sit out."
Bryant hurt the shoulder again when he was trying to fight through a pick and banged into Reggie Evans 54 seconds after tip-off in Friday's 99-91 victory over Seattle.

If any one cares, since both Shaq and Kobe started playing together several season ago, the Lakers are 40-11 straight up when Shaq plays and Kobe does'nt. When Kobe plays and Shaq does'nt the Lakers are 55-45 straight up.
This year without Kobe the Lakers are 7-7.

opposing teams need to study the tape of the sonics double team. one guy grab kobe's arm, one guy ram into and seperate his shoulder. all opponents of the lakers should practice this until they soundly have the technique mastered and the bitch (Kobe) is in court wearing a cast through his trial.
