[@lukeconverse6632]

Gota say, watching Matt Barnes in all his talk shows/podcasts, and hearing his story how he grew up, and what he went through, I like the dude more and more. And this short story of him and Kobe is a perfect example, there is more to them then just basketball and game. This was a great story to hear

[@bozobozo8653]

Matt that really real wat u said bro i remember the ball fake bro 😎

[@zshark365]

Kobe! 🐐 💯

[@mondrian5620]

With all the stories and just general encounters that so many people have had with Kobe, I don’t understand how anyone can hate the guy. If anyone does, it’s always for reasons that are petty as if Kobe personally hurt them. Smfh. Weird haters but whatever.. Kobe had way more admirers and he lived his life the way many of us wish we could and that’s all that matters in our memories of him. RIP Mamba..

[@georgebanks1513]

The only explanation I can give is that when the game begins kobe becomes ice cold.

[@seanwright8786]

Yep. He recognized that same quality in Matt Barnes.

[@leerysunchez9419]

Matt Barnes Derek Fisher is on the phone he said where is child support money 🤑💰😢

[@kobeibryant4356]

😂

[@blakewu1375]

Kobe recruited Matt Barnes & Meta, Lebron recruited Russell Westbrook...that alone tells you who wants to win in what way--hardnosed hard work versus the easy semi-cheating superstar/superteam path.

[@johnathanjackson6258]

This is dumb.

[@lappin6482]

[@terrydavis1917]

FOR REAL 🤣, " 🙏❤️ , " RIP "

[@tonytapat1161]

[@jhutch67]

OK...was the ball REALLY EYELASH CLOSE? I'm calling BS. Haven't we all seen the overhead angle by now?

[@rosieazatyan5923]

No Bs. Kobe himself confirmed it when he was on Matt’s podcast series interview.

[@jhutch67]

Ball don't lie... Check the tape!
I LOVE Mamba.. Straight articulate destroyer.
But eyelash close? Check the replay... (finger pointing in a small circle at the shoulder)

[@hashmoncrief6965]
