One of Twitter’s most famous gifs was just debunked, proving life is an entire sham

Streeter Lecka(Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)John Wayne, cinema's most iconic Western cinematic hero, hated horses. Dr. Seuss allegedly hated children. The guy who created guitars wasn't a fan of rock music. Everything we believe in is a lie.
Case in point. One of the Twitter's most famous gifs is a sham.
Kobe Bryant has put out his share of fake videos in the day (Remember him “jumping” a car? No wonder Shaq wanted to bounce), but the clip of Bryant failing to flinch as Matt Barnes faked a ball throw at his face endures as an all-time bad-ass moment.
Ridiculous, right? Well, it's ridiculous because it's not true.
Some Internet sleuths uncovered the truth for Bryant's stoic stature: He's not actually standing in front of Barnes.

We applaud the marketing teams on both sides of the Atlantic for having fun with the wager. We have a feeling the wager will be on again in 2020 at Whistling Straits.
