Kings' Harrison Barnes shares funny origin of 'Black Falcon' nickname


If you know as "The Black Falcon," the Kings forward is a bit bewildered as to why. That's what happens when you give yourself a nickname largely as a joke, as Barnes revealed. “It was funny, I was a huge Kobe (Bryant) fan, as so many people were, and he was always known as the 'Black Mamba,' " Barnes recalled.
