Haha sorry, which part?

I'm trying to say there are several ways to handle situations.

I know that Kobe didn't get in Bells face. I thought the way he handled that from a mental aspect was good. He wasn't about to fight him or get thrown out because obviously Kobe and Raja get ejected is NOT an even trade out. He brushed him off and let people and his teammates know that he acknowledged in a pretty calm manner what Raja was trying to do and that it wasn't going to work.
