Apparently this is getting attention recently, one of the best Kobe GIFs/legends gets exposed, damn.

Ok... But they BOTH acknowledge that it happened... Kobe was swaying side to side and Barnes 'faked' it to his right anyway...



Pretty much right at his eye...

ridiculous how they tweet a pic of before Matt extended his arms then claim it a disappointment. it's like the GB arguing that LMelo Ball started that fight.

what? normal people would still flinch in that situation. they aint debunking anything.

This is peak fake news

The thing here is, in the picture you just have to find the "right angle". In that angle, in that moment, it seems that the ball is far from Kobe's face but the thing here is, in real time or in video when everything else is moving, the "no flinch" moment did happen. And in that distance, even if the ball is not directly in your face, a normal person's reaction is to flinch or move if he sees a ball coming right at his face.

I don't get it, the ball if let go would still smack Kobe right in the right eye. Not only that, but it still shows it mere centimetres from his face.

How did someone reach so far just to give haters a reach around?

Why is this even a thing? The media and the people would go great lengths to diminish Kobe's career and everything he has done, it's really sad.
