Matt Barnes On When Kobe Bryant Didn’t Even Flinch

One of the ‘most Kobe’ moments ever took place on March 7, 2010.

In the third quarter between Kobe’s Lakers and the Orlando Magic, an inbounds play became one of the most iconic moments of the Millennium. Orlando’s Matt Barnes attempted to make Kobe flinch on an inbounds pass. He faked throwing the ball right at Kobe’s face. But Bryant didn’t move at all. More so, he didn’t even flinch, he did NOT flinch!

Matt Barnes now was on ESPN’s the Jump and revealed what happened after. It basically was the reason why Barnes joined the Lakers eventually.
