If that were Matt Barnes I'd call it a flagrant 2, but Kobe doesn't have a history of hard fouls on people like that, so the flagrant 1 is fine. He was trying a swipe and going for the ball, Im guessing he thought Faried would bring the ball back more.
He did clock him in the back of the head right? He's very lucky to only get a flagrant 1 with the way they call it these days.
