bwahahahahahaha. First, there was the owning of Kome & Co, in the game on Sunday. [video=youtube;bSxgTJQvzXg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSxgTJQvzXg[/video] Then, there is this:
Low quality link, but also the hard pick on Fisher. [video=youtube;46hrPQtPB6o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46hrPQtPB6o"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46hrPQtPB6o[/video]
I fail to see how he punked Kobe. He didn't even flinch. I love this boards hard on for anything Laker related. How does it feel knowing you'll never be as great of a franchise as us.
probably about the same as you feel knowing that the L.A. Lakers are still 7 or 8 titles behind the Boston Celtics.
yeah sorry man he didnt punk Kobe... it was actually pretty Bad Ass when Kobe didnt even flinch. I'm not gonna go into Mamba's comments, cause while the end part was kinda weak... some of it is true about this fan base.
Yah, that was pretty bad ass. As much as Kobe won't admit it (or Lamar), Barnes got in their heads. On a related note, I wish we had a player who was like Derek Fisher, in the sense that he sets serious screens when necessary. And I hate Derek Fisher.
dude he didnt even move.. I promise you 99% of normal people would have flinched mightily and probably shoved the guy or started Barking. The dude had no expression whatsoever. Stone cold look on his face.
Kobe reminds me Fedor Emelianenko. Has no facial expression, doesn't talk much, just lets his actions do the talking.
I wonder if the NBA needs to look at getting thrown out with the double T's... it is clear Barnes was trying to get Kobe tossed (and probably should have been with the elbows to Barnes face) There are a lot of times the call double Ts when one guy is just standing there. I don't know how they'd do it... just pondering. Someday someone will start a scrub for the sole purpose of trying to draw double Ts.
Kobe did throw an elbow, well not throw, but put his elbow up as Barnes was coming down. However, they were going back and fourth all game long. The initial interaction, that drew the double T, was all on Barnes. I don't know how the hell Kobe got a T on it. Barnes might have gotten under the rest of the teams skin, but he didn't get under Kobe's. I like Barnes, I don't see him as a dirty player. A lot of Lakers fans are bitching about him, but they don't bitch when Fish, Kobe, Artest, and Odom get physical. Barnes did his role as a hustle, role player. I'd like him on the Lakers' as a back up any day.
It sure looked to me like he got in Kobe's head. Kobe got the "strut" going. Got in Barnes face a couple times. The elbow after the put back dunk. Kobe looked flustered IMHO. However this is all from the youtube vid. I didn't see the game.
I would liken it to more being pissed and motivating him, than flustering him. Kobe started doing his thing, making crazy shots. (except for the obvious last one) Maybe pissed though yeah. But he is the last player on the planet I wanna play against pissed off.
