Dahntay Jones took at least one more step than was necessary. he had already forced Kobe into fading and even bothered that shot a bit. maybe he didn't want to injure Kobe, but he very clearly didn't mind a scenario in which he did. there's really no need to be partisan about this, Kobe is in the right here and that particular play (moving in on a shooter so that he might come down on your foot) is one of the most dangerous plays in basketball and should be prosecuted more heavily than flopping.
