Matt Barnes Confirms That He Did Put The Ball In Kobe's Face And Kobe Didn't Flinch

There it is. Confirmed. End of discussion. All of the discussions about whether or not Matt Barnes shoved the ball in Kobe’s face can now cease. I was on this side of history all along because I have a brain and the videos and pictures that came out earlier this week did nothing but confirm what we already knew. Kobe Bryant didn’t flinch in that video despite Barnes putting a basketball less than two inches from his face. I’d love to see people on the other side defending their stance now that Matt Barnes has dropped the truth hammer.

You know what the worst part of all of this is? It’s that the gif can’t be used anymore without somebody #WellActually-ing in the comments. As recently as last week you could post that gif and people just accepted it as it was. It was great. Now? Now no matter what evidence is brought forward and no matter how many times Matt Barnes confirms what happened there will be morons out there who never accept the truth. The truth being that Barnes pump-faked Kobe and Kobe didn’t flinch. But since there’s just the slightest bit of doubt the gif becomes completely and utterly useless. It makes me so angry because that gif is awesome. The internet can be so stupid sometimes/most of the time.
