I agree with you. The first time I saw the video it was from the regular TV feed and I didn't see anything wrong with it, but then I saw the angle from above the backboard and to me it looked like Kobe swung his arm out on purpose. Since when has he followed through with his shots by throwing his arm out hard to the side? And if you don't think he threw his arm out pretty damn hard just take a look at Ginobili's face.
Kobe pouts like a spoiled brat when he doesn't think he's getting the ball enough, bitches to the refs as much as anyone in the league (which he seems to always get away with), and obviously he seems to take exception to being guarded tightly.
