Jalen Rose says he tried to injure Kobe Bryant

Jalen Rose has come clean and admits he purposely put his foot underneath where Kobe Bryant would land after shooting a jumper during the 2000 NBA Finals. "Kobe Bean Bryant goes up for a jump shot out on the right wing," Rose told Grantland.com. "I contest the jump shot. Kobe lands on my foot. He hobbles off and actually misses the next game. If it was up to me, he should've just missed the whole series. I would've had a championship ring and it would've been no harm, no foul." Bryant sat out most of Game 2 and all of Game 3. But he came back in Game 4 posting 28 points and 26 points in Game 6 as the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the the Indiana Pacers to win the NBA championship. Rose says he suffered a bit of karma when Bryant scored a career-high 81 points while Rose played for the Toronto Raptors.
