Lakers News: Kobe Bryant Responds To Video That Suggests Non-Flinch Vs. Matt Barnes’ Ball Fake A Mirage

One of the favorite videos to ever go around on NBA social media is the infamous moment when then-Orlando Magic forward Matt Barnes pump-faked a pass right in the face of Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.

A stone-faced Kobe didn’t flinch with the ball seemingly inches from his face. It served as an example as to how focused Bryant could be during a game with Barnes himself later admitting to be surprised by the lack of a reaction.

Now a new angle of the incident may have brought to light some new evidence that could help explain some things.
