If he got touched at all, and that is an if, it was after the shot was long gone. When the shot is gone it is not a foul. It's amazing none of us were there, but three guys sitting right on the court (I'm not talking about the refs) didn't see a foul and good old Kobe didn't act as if he got fouled.

its clear you dont know what ur talking about.
if a player is touched in the act of shooting it is a foul, it was not called
the tnt camera was directly in kobester's face when he mouthed " stevie". steve javie the ref. he then made a swiping motion across his eye...motioning a foul

The shot was gone when he got touched. That is not in the act of shooting. We've gotten so used to the refs calling fouls after the shot is released that we believe that it's a foul. The ref called it right, for once. So maybe you should watch it a few thousand more times and you'll see that Christie may have hit him after the shot was away, which is not a foul. But hay, I don't know what I'm talking about because you're clearly the freakin genius here.

im not proclaiming genuis...even though i am
im saying the act of shooting is the release of the ball until it has hit the rim or went in
for you to say we get so use to blah blah blah
thats obviously the rule if they are calling them

You can say all you want, but that is not the rule. Hell I even saw a game on TV about a week ago when a ref called a foul on a guy well after the shot left the shooters hand and the announcer said that shouldn't have been a foul because the shot was already away. So I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the guy may know a little more about basketaball than me, and dare I say even you. They never called Jordan for taking 53 steps on his way to the basket, does that mean they changed the rule for traveling? Or how about this, when the refs wait to see if a shot falls to decide whether or not they will blow the whistle. We all know it happens, we all know it's bogus, but that doesn't suddenly make it a rule.
