Plot twist: Kobe just has really late reflexes and flinched after the game

Matt:

Kobe admitted in a later interview he didn't flinch because he was expecting it knowing how Barnes is.

[@h3artands0uLL]

“You’re not gonna get into the head of Kobe Bryant” is the most accurate summation of this moment. Man was a legend in mental strength

[@hexhub3826]

Matt Barnes, if you're reading this, we're still laughing at you years later. 😂

[@yashaggarwal6847]

He just made the guy doing this look really stupid.

Watched him play with Shaq against Magic at the old Amway center back in 2001. I was 13, and I waited until it was a quite part in the game and I screamed "I love you Kobe , you're the greatest!". It was like half the arena heard me. Kobe definitely heard me because I was only about 100 feet away from him and even though I was looking from behind him I could tell he kinda smiled from hearing it, and from a kid. He put his finger up in the air.

Kobe was a master of hitting aggressive players with slick elbows and making it look like incidental contact

[@christinad4432]

I love how Kobe would chew his gum harder when he was pissed.

[@darnell.c-w8436]

Watching this now after hearing report of Kobe's death.

[@Drifty788]

Bro i didn’t know when it was going to happen but when it did I flinched💀

[@OfentseMwaseFilms]

It’s so sad this legend died.

[@veetour]

Kobe finally closed his eyes, but he didn't flinch.

"No one can get inside kobe's head"

[@workerdoer114]

Showing self-control in the face of childishness is ALWAYS impressive. Good for Kobe. 👊🏽😎

[@brandonmshrock]

Kobe’s just like, “nah, you’re not that dumb”
