I think Kobe intentionally flung his arm, and Ginobili was hurt as a result. Whether he meant to hurt Ginobili doesn't matter to me, because I believe his action was intentional -- maybe not the result. Let's not forget he struck him in the face ... anywhere else, and it probably doesn't become an issue.
