You Know You’re Matt Barnes Right?
It seems like every year some NBA jobber decides to become the next “Kobe Stopper”. And every year that said jobber ends up on the business end of a Bryant scoring run. This theory still applies today except for one Matt Barnes of the Orlando Magic.
Barnes decided to become the next Raja Bell and get a little chippy with Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant last night in Orlandos 94 -96 victory over the Lakers.
Barnes even went kindergarden on Kobe durning an inbound pass when he tried to fake the ball to Kobe’s face to make him flinch. Bryant didn’t move by the way. Dude, how old are you? After almost a whole game of going after each other, the two both got technical fouls and from the looks of it, Barnes was really trying to get that second. Lakers teammate Lamar Odem was not impressed, and went all WWE on fools.
“He (Barnes) got the crowd into it. Ric Flair does the same thing. He had all the wrestling regalia today. All he needed was a cape and some tights.”
Odom really doesn’t like Barnes I think.
Odom, without being asked, called Barnes “a monkey,” when he heard someone across the locker room asking teammate Ron Artest about Barnes. He was asked later about the remark. “That’s an inside joke,” Odom said. “The rappers that are feuding with each other, Rick Ross and 50 Cent. They are feuding with each other. That’s an inside joke with this team. Matt Barnes is a cool dude. If I call him a monkey, I don’t mean it. If I call him a super hero, I don’t mean it. He did what he had to do. He played a great game, got the crowd involved.”
Nice recovery. But I’ll say this – The difference between Barnes and Flair is… Flair dosen’t suck.

I’m tired of watching Kobe play. He’s a little bitch that, despite being one of the best 2 players in the league (who OBVIOUSLY get the benefit of calls ALL of the time), cries about everything on the court and whines when he doesn’t get his way. Fuck that guy; the NBA needs a better Superstar for fans to enjoy watching. It’s all about how Kobe missed his 3 and Matt Barnes (who I hate slightly less than Kobe) hit his…
(although, I must admit, that was pretty solid that Kobe didn’t flinch at all from Barnes’s ball fake to the face… , which I assume should have been a Technical)
