During Orlando's escape act against LA today, Matt Barnes took an inbounds attempt as an opportunity to gain a psychological edge on Kobe Bryant. It ended exactly the way you'd think it would. From @jose3030:
Poor form, Mr. Barnes, and good on Kobe for not flinching. But really, we hadn't seen the ol' fake-ball-at-the-face trick since middle school. No word on whether Barnes also called Kobe a "dorkus," questioned whose dad could beat the other up, or spent the entire second half chanting "heyyyyy battereyyyyyy battereyyyyyy battereyyyyyy...."

Lame piece, Adam. You need to do better than this.
Did you actually watch this game? Kobe and Matt were going at it all game long. I’m sure you’re also going to post the gifs of Kobe of all the times Kobe elbowed Barnes in the chest and then immediately raised his hands to show the refs he was totally innocent… right?

Kobe should have
