The two years Matt Barnes spent with the Los Angeles Lakers were part of the more disappointing times in franchise history. The first saw the Lakers fail to complete their second three-peat with Kobe Bryant, and Barnes’ second season was a bit of a ‘Dwightmare.’
Still Barnes, clearly enjoyed his time in the city of Los Angeles, staying local to play the next three season with the Clippers.
And while the most memorable moment in Barnes’ and Bryant’s history is definitely when the latter didn’t even flinch when Barnes pump-faked a ball in his face from point-blank range, the two apparently got along really well while they were teammates.
