“There was one time when Kobe, who I worked with for 18 years, was going back to play in Madison Square Garden, and he had just seen ‘The Dark Knight,'” said Pelinka. “Obviously, you guys saw that movie, and he’s like, ‘Hey, hook me up with dinner with Heath Ledger, because he got so locked in to that role. I want to know how he mentally went there.’ So, he had dinner with Heath, and he talked about how he locks in for a role. And Kobe used some of that in his game against the Knicks.”

Ledger posthumously won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as the Joker in “The Dark Knight.” He died during the film’s editing process in January 2008, six months before the film’s release, which presumably means Kobe watched a screener of the film before it was finished.

huh idk

I think Pelinka is telling a tall tale.

Kobe probably saw A Knight’s Tale.

lol

Don’t watch the overhead angle of the Kobe-Barnes no flinch unless you want it to be totally ruined.

I’m shook

if you watch the vid you'll see Barnes is looking left but moves the ball slightly right towards Kobe's face, not as direct as the side view implies but enough of an feint that a normal human being without ice in their veins would have flinched.

*a feint

if anything the above view answers some pressing questions i had about the veracity of the original angle and i'll allow that Kobe is a villain Barnes couldn't intimidate there

pass fake to the right of kobes head he had no reason to flinch tbqh, prob the reason for kobes extreme nonchalance is he knew a timeout was coming therefor did not bother to guard the inbounder

Oh no pic.twitter.com/PFcQGMQDF1

smh

"In sports, you have restrictions." He's referring to teammates.

Not bizarre enough to win, but the best at encapsulating Kobe's career.
