The time I nearly beat the hell out of Kobe Bryant

With Kobe Bryant’s recent retirement announcement, players have waxed eloquent about fond memories of the Lakers superstar in his prime.
Not ex-Knicks guard Chris Childs, whose most vivid recollection of a young Bryant was nearly turning him into Rudy Tomjanovich.
Last week, Childs, in an appearance on Anthony Donahue’s Knicks Blog Radio, reminisced about the combative Knicks of the 1990s. He recalled his celebrated fight with Bryant 15 years ago at Staples Center that had then-Lakers coach Phil Jackson jogging onto the court to help prevent a brawl.
The date was April 2, 2000, during Bryant’s fourth season. Childs, a native of Los Angeles, recalls it as if it were yesterday. It was the afternoon Childs got fed up with Bryant’s off-the-ball shenanigans. According to replays, with Childs defending, Bryant threw a forearm up high away from the ball. Childs went into Bryant’s face, head-butted him in the chin and unleashed a right-left combination that connected with Bryant’s face.
Here’s the version Childs recalled on the show:

“When I hit him, I didn’t want to hurt him. I knew he was an up-and-coming guy. I remember back in the day watching Kermit Washington hit Rudy T [with an infamous punch during a game in 1977]. I didn’t want to get that label of hurting a guy’s career. So I just happened to tap him and let him know you’re trying the wrong guy.’’
Bryant needed to be restrained by two referees and Lakers assistant Jim Cleamons. Childs was suspended two games. Afterward, Bryant said, “The little punk decided to sneak-punch me,” and Shaquille O’Neal promised “payback.’’
It’s a new NBA now. Players get ejected for flagrant fouls that were considered harmless infractions back in Childs’ era. Still, Childs said the current Knicks aren’t tough enough.
“You have to let them know it’s your house,’’ Childs said. “I don’t see that grit.’
