    I watched his interview with Kobe the day it dropped and called friends telling them “this older Kobe” shares so much more and how much I loved it. I think it’s a small part of why it was so shocking and I sat in disbelief when he passed. Cliche but I thought to myself, “but I just saw him.” 😢

    Looked at the non flinch video again, there’s an angle from above that shows that Matt actually did fake throw the ball directly at Kobe’s head. Not to the side. The announcers at that moment were also amazed that Kobe didn’t flinch.

    • @bakerman10
      @bakerman10 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Sure he was. Directly in front of him. I think the point you're trying to make is that the angle most seen via clips shows that the ball was thrust directly in Kobe's face, but it was slightly, just slightly, to the side of his face. In reality, same difference.

    • @ArmandoKozomara
