One of the most iconic images of Kobe Bryant's career, a shot of the Lakers superstar standing unflinchingly as Matt Barnes faked throwing a ball at his face, has been debunked.
An overhead angle of the 2010 in-bounds play between Barnes, then with the Orlando Magic, and Bryant shows that Kobe wasn't actually standing directly in front of Barnes when the ball fake occurred.
Trey Kerby, who appears on the NBA.com podcast "The Starters," set off a wave of regret on social media when he posted:
Don't watch the overhead angle of the Kobe-Barnes no flinch unless you want it to be totally ruined.
